Lyrics to Tension

[Verse 1]

You say things you don't mean too damn convincingly

You take it back and then expect that it won't stick to me

Was just an argument, no ounce of truth in it

I wanna believe you but you came off so articulate



[Pre-Chorus]

I've tried walking away in my head

For a moment it's peaceful then it scares me to death

So I guess



[Chorus]

Sometimes tension brings us closer

Is it wrong, I just wanna hold you when it's over?

I get cold but you get colder

Is it wrong, I just wanna hold you when it's over?

You're not the things you say, you're not the things you do

These are the lies I tell myself to stay with you

Like sometimes tension, brings us closer

I just wanna hold you when it's over

You know, I just wanna hold you when it's over



[Verse 2]

You say love's a push and pull

But you're both the push and the pull

And I'm hangin' on for dear life 'cause I'm scared to let you go

The good that's left in us, it still feels good enough

Set us on fire and I'll find a way to hold us up



[Pre-Chorus]

I've tried walking away in my head

For a moment it's peaceful then it scares me to death

So I guess



[Chorus]

Sometimes tension brings us closer

Is it wrong, I just wanna hold you when it's over?

I get cold but you get colder

Is it wrong, I just wanna hold you when it's over?

You're not the things you say, you're not the things you do

These are the lies I tell myself to stay with you

Like sometimes tension, brings us closer

I just wanna hold you when it's over

You know, I just wanna hold you when it's over



[Post-Chorus]

You know, I just wanna hold you when it's over

You know, I just wanna hold you when it's over



[Bridge]

You know, I would stick around in ways he wouldn't

You know, I put up with things I really shouldn't

You know, most the weight of us is on my shoulders

You know, I just wanna hold you when it's over

You know, I'll forgive you just keep it simple

You know, I will meet you so far past the middle

You know, no one's ever seen you any lower

You know, I just wanna hold you when it's over



[Chorus]

Sometimes tension brings us closer

Is it wrong, I just wanna hold you when it's over?

I get cold but you get colder

Is it wrong, I just wanna hold you when it's over?

You're not the things you say, you're not the things you do

These are the lies I tell myself to stay with you

Like sometimes tensions, brings us closer

I just wanna hold you when it's over

You know, I just wanna hold you when it's over



[Post-Chorus]

You know, I just wanna hold you when it's over

You know, I just wanna hold you when it's over
