Do I murder when I forget you from afar?
Too drunk on the poison of endless roads
And the countless smoky bars

But tension is to be loved
When it is like a passing note
To a beautiful, beautiful chord

Do I murder us
Putting pavement in my veins
Shooting it in, special heroin
For the seeking and displaced?

But tension is to be loved
When it is like a passing note
To a beautiful, beautiful chord

But tension is to be loved
When it is like a passing note
To a beautiful, beautiful
Tension is to be loved
When it is like a passing note
To a beautiful, beautiful chord



Behind the Song:
"'Tension Is A Passing Note' explores the hardness of living life on the road as well as the way tension in our lives can lead to a beautiful resolve. The lyrics tie into the writings of Jeremy Begbie and C.S. Lewis in The Problem of Pain" - Matt Slocum (Sixpence None The Richer)
