Control
Lost in Love's Dilemma: Jackson Boddy's Struggle for Control
Lyrics
Oh, I'm usually out by the morning
Expressing a typical departure in the morning.
But I got something you're missing
Hinting at possessing something valuable the other person lacks.
You're better giving me something
Implying the need for reciprocity in the relationship.
Cause if you don't Baby, she will
Suggesting consequences if the other person doesn't provide what's needed.
Oh, and if we're both being honest
Acknowledging honesty between both parties.
We talk through likes on our Twitter
Describing communication through social media interactions.
Hm, it seems you're better off lonely
Indicating that solitude might be preferable for the other person.
Yeah maybe that's where we differ
Highlighting a difference in perspective on solitude.
How'd you walk away from me, with both my arms wide open?
Questioning how the other person could leave despite open vulnerability.
Spent every waking moment trying to regain control of us
Expressing effort to regain control of the relationship.
But you're too scared of holding onto something broken
Noting the other person's fear of holding onto a damaged connection.
So you wrote it off, pretended that you never noticed
Describing the other person's denial and avoidance.
Why you never said nothing?
Questioning why the other person remained silent.
Had to get away from it
Explaining the necessity to distance oneself from the situation.
Open up your mind for me
Encouraging the other person to be open-minded.
I've been trying to say something
Expressing a struggle to communicate a message.
Pennies on the pesos
Referring to insignificant amounts, possibly money.
Bound to get replaced
Implying an imminent replacement or change.
You could hate me if you say so
Granting permission to dislike if desired.
There's cards you haven't played though
Suggesting unexplored options or strategies.
Geeked at six in the morning
Describing an altered state early in the morning.
I don't need hoes, I need more friends
Expressing a preference for genuine connections over casual encounters.
Too scared of a dead end
Admitting fear of a relationship reaching a dead end.
Oh, the devil offered up all this
Referring to a tempting offer, potentially with negative consequences.
I couldn't help but accept it
Accepting a challenging opportunity despite its difficulty.
It's so hard but I meant it, oh
Confirming the sincerity and difficulty of a decision.
How'd you walk away from me, with both my arms wide open?
Reiterating the question of how the other person could leave.
Spent every waking moment trying to regain control of us
Reiterating the effort to regain control of the relationship.
But you're too scared of holding onto something broken
Reiterating the other person's fear of holding onto a damaged connection.
So you wrote it off, pretended that you never noticed
Reiterating the other person's denial and avoidance.
Why you never say nothing?
Reiterating the question of why the other person remained silent.
Had to get away from it
Explaining the necessity to distance oneself from the situation again.
Open up your mind for me
Encouraging the other person to be open-minded again.
I've been trying to say something
Expressing a continued struggle to communicate a message.
Pennies on the pesos
Referring to insignificant amounts again, possibly money.
Bound to get replaced

Granting permission to dislike if desired again.
There's cards you haven't played though
Suggesting unexplored options or strategies again.
I do the most
Asserting a commitment to maximum effort.
Baby I miss you the most
Expressing a strong yearning or longing for the other person.
You do the worst
Highlighting the negative actions of the other person.
You done put me on my toes
Acknowledging vulnerability caused by the other person's actions.
