You know, when you’re attracted to someone and you find yourself doing or saying silly things whenever they’re around? This song is about that infatuation. As an awkward teenager, I remember having crushes on girls, and my mind would just blank out whenever they were near. Man, I did stupid things like talking loudly and hoping that they’d notice, or making a fool out of myself… But I never had the courage to tell them. Haha.

I Lose Control
© Music and Lyrics by Marcel Lee Pereira, 26 July, 2010

I lose control
I lose control
When you toss your hair
When the air is filled with your perfume

I lose control
I lose my soul
The way I shift my feet
The way my heart skips twenty beats

Chorus
Involuntary actions
Betray my strong reactions
When you are near
It’s very clear

My eyes can’t lie
My eyes can’t lie
They’re drawn to you
Like bees to fields of blue

Bridge
I want you to know
How I really feel
I’m sending you signs
My heart hopes you’ll see
But my mind is afraid
Of what you’ll say

Chorus
Involuntary actions
Betray my strong reactions
When you are near
It’s very clear

I lose control
I lose my soul
I lose control
I lose my soul
