Went and picked up my girl she was ready to go
I pushed the pedal to the metal we went out to the show
Maybe if I'm lucky I could get in her bed
That's what I need
Driving down the street my life is fading away
That's the feeling that I get because I die everyday
I just want to feel like something mattered at all
That what I need
If I had it all
I would make sure everything else would just fall
Why control myself?
When I know that there's nobody else
Got lost inside the music and I woke up somewhere
Yeah my actions were all pointless but I didn't care
I just love the feeling as I supernova
And I burn
Got into some trouble with the guys in the band
They were talking all their shit but I was making my stand
Got into a fight behind the bar and I lost
And I bleed
If I had it all
I would make sure everything else would just fall
Why control myself?
When I know that there's nobody else
My girl didn't mind that I got blood in her hair
We spent the night off in her bed and left our clothes everywhere
When we are alone she makes me feel alright
That's what I need
If I had it all
I would make sure everything else would just fall
Why control myself?
When I know that there's nobody else
