about

Canadian songsmith Christina Martin returns with In Control, the second blistering single from her unreleased eighth studio album Storm. After the ethereal sweep of opening single Stay With Me, second salvo In Control is a pounding percussion-led odyssey about the battle between the need to feel in control, and the need to just let loose. Dealing grace and grit with equal aplomb, it’s a fitting follow-up to Stay With Me.

lyrics

I’ve grown tired, living so clean
All I wanna do
Is run right back on down to hell
And have some drinks with you

We don’t need to be gone for long
Bring along some dirty jokes
My life is good
I still have pain
I still feel broke

Don’t worry baby, I’m in control
When I get scared I read about us in a book that someone famous wrote

When I go I always come back
Two nights of debauchery
Is just the thing I need
To bring me back to life

You and me
Have been here before
This path feels good
This path feels right
Let's pick it up
I knew I would
I thought you might

Don’t worry baby, I’ve got your back
When I get scared I read about us in a book that someone famous wrote

Wake up and remember this bliss
My heart beats strong
So keep it up
There’s nothing wrong
Nothing to miss
I need your kiss

Don’t worry baby, I’ll take this on
When I get scared I read about us in a book that someone famous wrote
When I get scared I read about us in a book that someone famous wrote
When I get scared I read about us in a book that someone famous wrote
