I wake up bright and early every morning
Roll out of bed but I´m never quite alone
Tension is pulling me in all directions
And I´ll be done once you use me as a rope
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
At any time I could explode
I need some piece of mind, its got me tired
Don´t wanna lose it, but I´m turning down that road

I need a moment ´cause I´ve dragged myself to thin
We all need a moment in our lives
Works hard, the days too long
And thats 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 its 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 dragged myself to thin
We all need a moment in our lives
Works hard, the days too long
And thats just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time

But every now and then
I drive alone
And over all
Hot summer days
A gentle breeze that feels alright
Home alone
And I can´t feel the pain
Only strain
Enjoy the sights
I feel alive
When actually here just feels alright
Far from home

I need a moment ´cause I´ve dragged myself to thin
We all need a moment in our lives
Works hard, the days too long
And thats just where it begins
Tension has had us all this time
