[Verse 1]
Tension! Tension! Is building in my heart again?
Chemicals inside my brain are constantly calling it off
Feelings get a hold of me and I say things that I don't mean
But hey, there's no such thing as perfect in reality
I don't wanna go back so, baby, let me take my time
I don't wanna see your face or hear your voice, don't hit my line
And I'ma do what I wanna do from now on
Sit back in my car with the music up loud
And I don't care if you're proud of me or watching me
'Cause I've been up all night startin' fights with my thoughts again
Tell me where it ends, oh my god, here I go again

[Chorus]
Tension's all that I've known and I won't let go
'Cause I'm alive, all day and night
Tension's all that I've got so I just can't stop
'Cause I'm alive, all day and night
Darlin', why am I fallin' for you again?
Found you deep in my heart, where you've always been
Even if I'm cryin' I can keep on dancin' to the beat of my heart
With the tension in my head

[Verse 2]
Tension! Tension! Is building in my heart again?
I think I should let you go 'cause maybe it's just for the best
But you go and pull me right back
I don't wanna have to fight this again
I'm stuck 'cause I can't go without a happy ending
I am better off on my own, but I don't wanna live without your soul
And I'ma do what I wanna do from now on
Sit back in my car with the music up loud
And I don't care if you're proud of me or watching me
'Cause I've been up all night startin' fights with my thoughts again
Tell me where it ends, oh my god, here I go again
[Chorus]
Tension's all that I've known and I won't let go
'Cause I'm alive, all day and night
Tension's all that I've got so I just can't stop
'Cause I'm alive, all day and night
Darlin', why am I fallin' for you again?
Found you deep in my heart, where you've always been
Even if I'm cryin' I can keep on dancin' to the beat of my heart
With the tension in my head
Tension's all that I've known and I won't let go
'Cause I'm alive, all day and night
Tension's all that I've got so I just can't stop
'Cause I'm alive, all day and night
Darlin', why am I fallin' for you again?
Found you deep in my heart, where you've always been
Even if I'm cryin' I can keep on dancin' to the beat of my heart
With the tension in my head
