Impulse Control

Saw it in the window

Two a.m. glow

Card already halfway out

Like my hands just know

Text half written

"Where you at tonight?"

Heart on autoplay

Never stops to check the light

Every little urge like a flashing sign

Pulling me across another crooked line

Tell myself "breathe

You’re in control"

Then my fingers move before my mind says so

Impulse control

Where did you go?

I’m hitting send before my head says "slow"

Jumping the gun

Falling in fast

Living each moment like it’s built to crash

Impulse control

You’re losing the fight

I say "not today" then I swipe all night

Ooh

Every time I say I won’t

That’s when I do

That’s when I don’t

Said I'd stay in

But the shoes came on

Group chat buzzing

Now the plan’s full-blown

"Just one drink"

Turns to keys in a tray

I’m dancing on the table

Like I planned it this way

Every little dare feels like oxygen

I know the story but I jump back in

Promise my future I’ll be better soon

Then I’m running yellow lights under the moon

Maybe I’m wired for the rush

The rush

Chasing every maybe till it’s too much

[low vocal register] One more click

One more call

[whispered vocals] One more fall

[out of whisper] I keep saying I’m done

But I love the free-fall
