I'll run and hide under my bed
You're calling my name from outside my door
But i'm not ready yet
For a revolution to start in me

Cause i'm just scared of losing control
I'm terrified of who i'll become with you
I'm just scared
The world hates you and it's gonna hate me too

A cry for help rings in your ear
(I'm calling your name from inside this hole)
That i've dug myself into
(It's so wrong)
My self-centered prayers
(As if you)
Don't care for anyone but me
(Give me a day)
That's all it takes
(For me to turn my back on you)

Cause i'm just scared of losing control
I'm terrified of who i'll become with you
I'm just scared
The world hates you and it's gonna hate me too

The whole world hates us
The whole world hates our song
But still we sing
But still we sing along

Here I am
A wary heart and trembling hands
waiting for the words to leave your lips
So here I am
A wary heart and trembling hands
Waiting for the words to leave your lips
(Here I am with trembling hands
This could be the hardest step that i'll take)

Here i am
A wary heart and trembling hands
Waiting for the words to leave your lips
(Here I am with trembling hands
This could be the hardest step that i'll take)

The whole world hates us
The whole world hates our song
But still we sing
But still we sing along
(I'm just scared of losing control
I'm terrified of who i'll become with you
I'm just scared
The world hates you and it's gonna hate me too)

    General Comment:Religious song, talking about how everyone looks down on him for his beliefs, but that doesn't effect him. He keeps on "singing." Which is believing in god and the bible

    General Comment:every feel like a singer wrote a song just so you can here it? man, i love i can relate to so many of dan's lyrics.

    its definitely about how we surrender our lives to God. Jesus says in John 15:19 "If you belonged to the world it would love you as its own, as it is, you do not belong to the world, but i have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." He is speaking about the disciples and how if they chose to go out and live like Christians the world will hate them.

    in this song, dan doesn't care, he's going to sing along. at that is just so ahhh. i LOVE IT!

    i think its like he feels like hes only praying for stuff he needs or if hes in trouble without actually believing in god because hes too afraid of what other people think;;i went through that when i transferred to a public school after 6 safe years at a private school.

    The whole world hates our song
    But still we sing

    could relate to any psalm or hymn...this providence is a very religeous band and most people dont recognize that or dont want to yet they're still out there singing about their faith. my second favorite song, walking on water is another moving song

    General Comment:the song is about standing up for what you believe in dispite what people think.
    "I'll run and hide under my bed
    You're calling my name from outside my door
    But i'm not ready yet
    For a revolution to start in me"

    this verse is about god calling him to be bold about his christianity but him being scared and not ready because of what people would think.

    the bible states that you come to god with "A wary heart and trembling hands"

    total christian song.

    General Comment:I see how it's about religion, but I think it can relate to a relationship or a number of other situations too... however you interpret it. The lines "the whole world hates us" are so powerful and beautiful.

    This is one of my favorite songs by TP and I like "Losing Control" too.
