I Can't Help Myself

(album: Andrew Ripp - 2015)

Old man going back
Flipping through photographs
Thinking where he could've been 'fore he had an understanding
An understanding
Of a young man
Thought he had the whole world in his hands
Reaping on the horror from the seeds that he never planted
He never planted

I'm standing here in the in-between
I'm not where I was or where I'm going to be
But I'll be standing
Yeah, I'm standing

I can't help myself
Can't help myself
(Spin it around, spin it around, spin it around)
I'm on fire
I can't help myself
It's like nothing else
(Look at me now, look at me now, look at me now)
Take me higher

Dead man lying on the floor
Didn't wanna live anymore
99 mile an hour somehow I didn't feel it
Too numb to feel it
Felt like cold blood turning warm
In the veins
Something like I can't explain
Suddenly my heart started beating
And I started breathing

Now I'm standing here in the in-between
And where I, where I was is good enough for me
It's good enough, it's good enough

I can't help myself
Can't help myself
(Spin it around, spin it around, spin it around)
I'm on fire
I can't help myself
It's like nothing else
(Look at me now, look at me now, look at me now)
Take me higher

(Take me higher and higher)

Hey now, you can't hold me back
I said hey now, from a love like that
I said hey now, I'm not going back
Oh hey now
(Take me higher)
Hey now, you can't hold me back
I said hey now, from a love like that
I said hey now, I'm not going back
Oh hey now
(Take me higher)
Hey now, you can't hold me back
I said hey now, from a love like that
I said hey now, I'm not going back
Oh hey now
(Take me higher)
Hey now, you can't hold me back
I said hey now, from a love like that
I said hey now, I'm not going back
Oh hey now

I can't help myself
Can't help myself
I'm on fire
I can't help myself
It's like nothing else
(Look at me now, look at me now, look at me now)
Take me higher

I can't help myself
Can't help myself
(Spin it around, spin it around, spin it around)
I'm on fire
I can't help myself
It's like nothing else
(Look at me now, look at me now, look at me now)
Take me higher

Hey now, you can't hold me back
(I can't help myself)
I said hey now, from a love like that
(Can't help myself)
I said hey now, I'm not going back
Oh hey now
(I'm on fire)

Hey now, you can't hold me back
(I can't help myself)
I said hey now, from a love like that
(It's like nothing else)
I said hey now, I'm not going back
Oh hey now
(Take me higher)
