Tension

[Verse 1] 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 of these problems use me as their own Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy At any time I could explode I need some peace of mind, it's got me tired Don't want to lose it, but I'm turning down that road [Chorus] I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin We all need a moment in our life Work's hard, the days too long And that's just where it begins Tension has had us all this time [Verse 2] 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 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 want to look back scared, I'm working life away [Chorus] I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin We all need a moment in our life Work's hard, the days too long And that's just where it begins Tension has had us all this time [Verse 3] 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't feel no pain Only strength Enjoy the sights I feel alive Relaxing here just feels alright Far from home [Chorus] I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin We all need a moment in our life Work's hard, the days too long And that's just where it begins Tension has had us all this time
