Gavin Shane DeGraw (born February 4, 1977) is an American musician and singer-songwriter. He rose to fame with the single "I Don't Want to Be" from his debut album Chariot which became the theme song for the television drama series One Tree Hill. Other singles from the album included notably "Chariot" and "Follow Through". His second self-titled album was released in 2008 and included the top-twenty single "In Love with a Girl".
In 2009, Degraw released his third album Free. His fourth album Sweeter (2011) spawned hit single "Not Over You", as well as "Soldier" and "Sweeter". His fifth album Make a Move was released in 2013. DeGraw has sold more than a million records in the US. His duet with Colbie Caillat on "We Both Know" for the film Safe Haven received a Grammy Award nomination.
Early life and schooling
DeGraw grew up in South Fallsburg, New York. His mother, Lynne (née Krieger), was a detox specialist, and his father, Wayne DeGraw, was a prison guard; he referenced his father's and mother's occupations in the song "I Don't Want to Be".
Gavin DeGraw (album)
Gavin DeGraw is singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw's self-titled second album. The album was released on May 6, 2008. The album debuted at number seven on the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 66,000 copies the first week.
Album information
The album features an extended and re-recorded version of the song "We Belong Together", which was a single in 2006 and was featured on the soundtrack to the film of Tristan & Isolde. One week before its release, the album was put up in full to stream on Imeem.com on April 29, 2008.
Singles
The album was preceded by the single "In Love with a Girl", which became his second-biggest single ever since his very first debut "I Don't Want to Be", and fourth Top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at number twenty-four. Outside the U.S., the song was successful in the Netherlands too, reaching number twenty-two.
Soon followed the release of "Cheated on Me", DeGraw's second single from the album, only released in North America, of which the music video was released on September 30, 2008. The single failed to generate any interest though in North America. At the same time, "She Holds a Key" was chosen as the second single in the rest of the world, which only charted in the Netherlands, becoming his fifth Top 40 hit there, peaking at number twenty-nine. As the third worldwide single, "I Have You to Thank" was released in January 2009. The song did not have a music video to help promote the album.

Control
by: Gavin DegrawSo we begin to fall apart
And I guess that's all right
When there's not much left to lose
But I took it straight to heart
When I asked her for the truth
And she couldn't say the words
I should've known
It's better just to end it
Than to let it go
At least it lessens any stress you can unload
That will drag you under
It's better to have control
So I took a little trip
And I got into a fight
But it's only, I'm sure
And I called her up in Reno
And she's busy every time
I don't call there anymore
I should've known
It's better just to end it
Than to let it go
At least it lessens any stress you can unload
That will drag you under
It's better to have control
What can hold me safe
What can overstrain
So long
That every incidence
Anything we sow is great
I know
I should've known
It's better just to end it
Than to let it go
At least it lessens any stress you can unload
That will drag you under
It's better to have control
I should've known
I should've known
I should've known
