[Verse 1] Sit here drinking my coffee Sit there drinking your wine Staring at each other Like everything is fine Silence says what we won't say Clock is ticking time away Smile like nothing's going on And the tension draws a line [Verse 2] I look at you, you look away We both know it's not okay No one's got the courage To speak the truth tonight History in the silence A ghost we can outrun Holding hands with a memory While our feelings come undone [Chorus] Tension makes me nervous Pressure makes me cry Tension holds the truth inside That pushes me to try Tension makes me laugh out loud Pressure makes me feel Tension shows what's hiding It shows me what is real [Verse 3] Wonder when you turned away You might stand up and run You sit here in the silence Just like a loaded gun The light is soft but it cuts deep On a face I used to know But staring in the distance thinking Just how far that we could go [Verse 4] Hoping that you might break down But I see it crystal clear Wanna reach across this table And pull you out of here Not always fire and lightning Sometimes the rain creeps in If there's still a match between us We can start that fire again [Chorus] Tension makes me nervous Pressure makes me cry Tension holds the truth inside That pushes me to try Tension makes me laugh out loud Pressure makes me feel Tension shows what's hiding It shows me what is real Tension makes me nervous Pressure makes me cry Tension holds the truth inside That pushes me to try Tension makes me laugh out loud Pressure makes me feel Tension shows what's hiding It shows me what is real [Outro] Tension Tension Tension Tension
