Calvin Harris – Under Control Lyrics

I might be anyone
(two people in a crowd who know each other)
A lone fool out in the sun
(although they are surrounded by people the person who is holding back their thoughts feels foolish and alone among the world for not sharing their thoughts)
Your heartbeat of solid gold
(the fool holding back their feelings knows that they are someone who has a heart of gold)
I love you, you’ll never know
(the feeling of love and admiration is so strong it is ineffable)

When the daylight comes you feel so cold,
You know
(when they see them again during the day time activities such as coworkers and friends they know each other but neither person shows interest in the potential of something more)
I’m too afraid of my heart to let you go
(the admirer would rather stay acquainted rather than risk letting them know their affections which may push away future opportunities for a moment of mutual interests)

Waiting for the fire to light
(for a moment or opening that would not be awkward to express their interest in having a romantic relationship)
Feeling like we could do right
(believes that they would be a good match)
Be the one that makes tonight
(perhaps the opening moment would make a night of enchantment)
‘Cause freedom is a lonely road
(they are both single and possibly available for anyone who might walk into their lives, but currently are solo)
We’re under control
(neither person is promiscuous and self controlled)
