Everyone says sooner or later youll reach the end of the line
When things get rough some think its easy to jump the ship . . .
You decide

I say--dont throw it away
Theres about a million reasons why
Though youve heard them all before
And youre getting very tired
Lay your head on my lap and Ill sing you this lullaby

Chorus
Dont you know
That everyone around you
Has felt the pain you feel today
Youre out of control yeah--and you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning itll only be a dream
Youre out of control . . .

Theres a cloud-rollin overhead and it seems to rain on no one else
Theres a black sun--casting a black shadow,
And I know you feel so all alone
Youre out of control--and you want the world to love you
Or maybe you just want a chance to let them know
That you live and breathe and suffer
And your back is in the corner and youve got nowhere to go

Nothin for nothin--everythings right at your fingertips--for a price
Who ever said that life on this planet would ever be paradise
I say--dont throw it away, youve got too many things to say
If you throw your life, if you throw away your life . . .
The world will never be the same

Chorus

Youre out of control--and you move without direction
And people look right through your soul
Youre out of control--and you want someone to tell you
When you wake up in the morning itll only be a dream
And I wish that I could tell you, itll only be a dream
