Understand one thing
If and when you drink from this vast ocean
You can't control it
Na, na, you can't control it

Mom forget to tuck you in
Make you begin a war within your head
One that you could never win
Send in the troops, send insecurities
What doesn't matter in the end
So daddy told you hold your chin up, son

Understand one thing
If and when you drink from this vast ocean
You can't control it
Na, na, na, you can't control it

With the procession underway
Understand the magnitude of the melodies that they make
Did it fill your lungs with rage?
What's the matter
Did catastrophe get your tongue tied in the fray?
When the band began to play
Daddy wiped the tears away, he said son

Please understand one thing
If and when you drink from this vast ocean
You can't control it
Na, na, you can't control it
Na, na, you can't control it
Na, na, you can't control it
