Under Control - Alesso feat. Calvin Harris, Theo Hutchcraft

The Experience: This fear is a lonely road. There's no way I can make it alone - a lone fool out in the sun. You change that with your heartbeat of solid gold. With you, fear is gone, we're under control.  

The Video: What could be worse than an end-of-the-world meteor streaming down on earth? The magic of love/being together (or being Calvin Harris?) brings it under control.  

My Take: We were never made to be alone. Life's too full of uncertainties and surprises... I'm  too afraid...  Being with you changes everything - 'cause everything could fall apart, but since only love matters, it'll all be under control. That's the happiness in admitting I'm too afraid to let you go. 

Ask Yourself: Do I offer those I love a heartbeat of solid gold?

LYRICS:

I might be anyone
A lone fool out in the sun
Your heartbeat of solid gold
I love you, you never know

When the daylight comes you feel so cold, you know
I'm too afraid of my heart to let you go

Waiting to the fire to light
Feeling like we could do right
We're the one that makes tonight
This fear is a lonely road
We're under control

We're under control

I might be anyone
A lone fool out in the sun
Your heartbeat of solid gold
I love you, you never know

When the daylight comes you feel so cold, you know
I'm too afraid of my heart to let you go

Waiting to the fire to light
Feeling like we could do right
We're the one that makes tonight
This fear is a lonely road
We're under control

Waiting to the fire to light
Feeling like we could do right
We're the one that makes tonight
This fear is a lonely road
We're under control
