Give me back control, give me back control, give me back 
Think I'm losing hold, think 
I'm losing hold, think 
I'm losing 
Because the house caught fire, in the summer of the strange 
And the smoke went higher, and we lost our way 
And I really don't, really don't, really don't know where we going, yeah 
So give me back control, give me back control, give me back 
Think I'm losing hold, losing hold, in the summer of the strange 
Give me back control 
So do I get down? 
Rolling round on the floor 
Do I fake proud? 
Make you out like a heart 
Do I break down? 
Come in crying your door 
Do I break down? 
Break down? 
Because the days grow dark in the summer of the summer of the strange 
And the air got heavy, but the sky won't rain 
And I really don't, really don't, really don't know what is coming, yeah 
So give me back control, give me back control, give me back 
Think I'm losing hold, losing hold, in the summer of the strange 
The sky won't rain 
Never be the same 
In the summer of the strange 
In the summer of the strange 
And now it's late night 
And I'm waiting for the sunup 
But the daylight, it never comes around 
So I hold tight 
Onto the one 
I'm loving 
I got no fight, and 
I've never been so down 
Give me back control, give me back control, give me back 
Think I'm losing hold, losing hold, in the summer of the strange 
Never be the same 
In the summer of the strange 
Never be the same, yeah
