Story Behind The Song
Trying to keep it all in control.
Song Description
- Sometimes you just can't tell what the future is going to bring. You can try as hard as you can to control the little things in your life, but it's still a crap-shoot. Sometimes things work out and sometimes they don't. If it feels like something else is in command of your life and you're just along for the ride, you're not alone.

Lyrics
How long,
How long will it take to write this book?
With no,
With no yet foreseeable end in sight?
I know,
I know that it shouldn't take this long
I don't know why I even try
Hold on,
Hold on ?til I make the story mine
It ain't exactly clear what is and isn't right
I know,
I know that it shouldn't take this long
I don't know why I even try so hard -
I won't let go let go
I'm not Superman
I'm not in your control
I'm in your command
How long,
How long will it take to write this book?
With no,
With no yet foreseeable end in sight?
I know,
I know that it shouldn't take this long
I don't know why I even try so hard
I won't let go let go
I'm not Superman
I'm not in your control
I'm in your command
I won't let go let go
I'm not Superman
I'm not in your control
I'm in your command
