Lyrics

[00:25.08] I wake up every morning, bright and early
[00:28.04] Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone
[00:31.06] Tension is pulling me in all directions
[00:33.52] And all of these problems use me as their own
[00:37.08] Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
[00:39.48] At any time I could explode
[00:42.92] I need some piece of mind, it's got me tired
[00:45.51] Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road
[00:48.80]
[00:49.13] I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin
[00:55.84] We all need a moment in our live
[01:02.80] Works hard, the days too long
[01:05.65] And that's just where it begins
[01:09.58] Tension has had us all this time
[01:15.04]
[01:16.60] I sit in traffic every single morning
[01:18.93] Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind
[01:22.53] Making the money so I feed my family
[01:24.93] But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time
[01:28.45] I got no free days on my busy schedule
[01:30.97] I turn the page and it's the same
[01:34.39] Don't like my situation, you don't either
[01:36.93] Don't wanna look back scared, I'm working life away
[01:40.26]
[01:40.57] I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin
[01:47.31] We all need a moment in our live
[01:54.26] Works hard, the days too long
[01:56.88] And that's just where it begins
[02:01.10] Tension has had us all this time
[02:06.53]
[02:22.98] But every now and then
[02:27.12] I drive alone
[02:30.45] An open road
[02:33.72] Hot summer days
[02:36.66] A gentle breeze that feels alright
[02:42.69] Home alone
[02:45.20] And I can't feel the pain
[02:49.59] Only strength
[02:52.55] Enjoy the sights
[02:55.85] I feel alive
[02:58.89] When actually here just feels alright
[03:04.99] Far from home
[03:07.88]
[03:39.14] I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin
[03:45.89] We all need a moment in our live
[03:52.72] Works hard, the days too long
[03:55.34] And that's just where it begins
[03:59.55] Tension has had us all this time
[04:06.01]
