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 these problems use me as a rope
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 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
Work's hard, the day's 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 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 will get away
I need a moment 'cause
I've spread myself too thin
We all need a moment in our life
Work's hard, the day's too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time
But every now and then
I drive alone and over all
Hot summer day, a gentle breeze that feels alright
All alone, and
I can't 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
Work's hard, the day's too long
And that's just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time
