Story Behind The Song
A mothers fear of her child leaving the nest is frighteningly like a lovers need to control. Sometimes we hold the ones we love most back out of fear of losing them.
Song Description
Solo - slightly destorted electric guitar is delivered Hendrix style by Jessie Haynes. Her sweet vocal accompanies & it's message is a bit twisted. It encourages you to trust it - or does it? This 2 minute & 35 second song begins with sweet consolement which quickly turns into an unabashed yet subtle confession of guilt & the twisted desire to control that often accompanies love.

Lyrics
If you choose to go it's no problem
You are free to go anywhere the wind blows
But if you decide to stay
I would love you to
I will build you up
And once I've won your trust
I'll control you
I will hold you down
When no escape is found
I will smile at you honey
And hold you
I can't tell you why
But sometimes bluebirds die
Before they learn to fly
If you choose to fly it's no problem
I will stand right here and watch you walk away now
But if you decide to stay
I would love you to
I will lift you up
And once I've won your trust
I'll control you
I will hold you down
When no escape is found
I will smile at you honey
And hold you
I can't tell you why
But sometimes bluebirds die
Before they learn to fly
So I will hold
Control you
I'll hold you
Control you
