Lyrics

[00:21.450] I tried to control my shaking
[00:26.730] With just one sound
[00:32.430] I tried to warm the ocean
[00:37.810] By writing it down
[00:42.140] I tried to tame my nightmare
[00:48.200] Line by line
[00:52.870] If I write a song about you
[00:58.830] Does that make you mine?
[01:03.560] The conductor caught in slow motion
[01:08.610] The orchestra plays on
[01:13.390] Over and over; the same motion
[01:18.980] This work is never done
[01:23.840] The only thing that's certain
[01:29.700] Is your indecision
[01:34.630] I guess it must be working
[01:38.580] Cause you hit me with such precision
[01:45.800] Now the strings are breaking
[01:50.250] Their fingers run with blood
[01:55.240] But they keep on playing
[02:00.410] The cycle never stops
[02:03.880] Who's in control?
[02:09.800] Who's playing who?
[02:13.540] She wants to be amongst them
[02:22.270] Conducting them too
[02:26.210] She knows the song won't save her
[02:32.190] But what else can she do?
[02:36.970] She weeps just like a willow
[02:42.620] She's playing for you
[02:47.580] She's fragile and she's ferocious
[02:52.650] As the current flows through
[02:57.530] She's a conductor caught in slow motion
[03:02.970] The orchestra plays on
[03:09.390] Over and over; the same motion
[03:13.520] This work is never done
[03:19.370] Now here comes the crescendo
[03:23.810] The music starts to swell
[03:29.610] And now it's so ecstatic
[03:33.220] I know this part so well
[03:40.600] And then it goes staccato
[03:44.890] The notes were flying up
[03:50.590] Higher and higher
[03:55.130] But they never reach the top
[03:58.310] Who's in control?
[04:03.140] Who's playing who?
[04:08.940] Who's in control?
[04:13.770] Who's playing who?
[04:21.240] I am the orchestra
[04:26.800] The conductor too
[04:31.510] My heart is a concert hall
[04:37.260] And I filled it with you
