Tension Lyrics

I wake up every morning bright and early

Roll out of bed, but I’m never quite alone.

Tension is pulling me in all directions.

And all these problems use me as a road.

Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy.

At anytime I could explode.

I need some piece of mind; it’s got me tired.

Don’t wanna lose it, but I’m turning down that road.



I need a moment, ‘cause I’ve spread myself too thin.

We all need a moment in our life.

Works hard, the days too long.

And that’s just where it begins.

Tension has had us all this time.



I sit in traffic every single morning.

Just as I arrive I’m slaving to the grind.

Making the money so I feed my family,

But I can’t raise them, ‘cause I ain’t got the time.

I’ve got no free days on my busy schedule,

I turn the page and it’s the same.

Don’t like my situation, you don’t either.

Don’t wanna look back scared.

I’m working life away.



I need a moment, cause I’ve spread myself too thin.

We all need a moment in our life.

Works all the days too long, and that’s just where it begins.

Tension has had us all this time.



But every now and then, I drive alone,

An open road, hot summer day,

A gentle breeze that feels alright.

All alone,

And I can feel no pain, only strain.

Enjoy the sights, I feel alive.

Relaxing here just feels alright,

Far from home.



I need a moment, cause I’ve spread myself too thin.

We all need a moment in our life.

Works all the days too long, and that’s just where it begins.

Tension has had us all this time.
