Man in Control?

I count the cracks in the pavement

Where the weeds and wishes grow

Every car is a reminder

That there's someplace else to go

I steal a moment beside you

Can you hear me whispering

I don't know what divides you

And I wonder if it's me

I'm a man who needs control

A little space, just to soothe my soul

And sometimes I'm too far away

I'm well enough to believe your lies

And sick enough to believe you're mine

If it's painful just because

Don't be surprised if you're in love
