Release
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now is the time, time to release
Time to release your love
Now is the time, time to release
Time to release your love
We've been in a spare mate, so long
Like we're locked up in a prison (locked up in a prison)
And oh, oh, oh
To be that way with you
Release), release the tension
There's too much fraction in the world today
Release, show some emotion
And let the motion rock us that way, rock on, rock on (rock on)
Release (release), release the tension (release)
There's too much tension in the world today
Release (release), show some emotion
And let the motion rock us that way, rock on, rock on
We've been in a standstill so long
And it's not getting any better (not getting any better)
Slowly, slowly, slowly
Drifting apart
Oho, release, release the tension
There's too much tension in the world today
Release, show some emotion
And let the motion rock us that way, rock on, rock on, rock on
Release (release), release the tension (release)
There's too much tension in the world today
Release (release), show some emotion
And let the motion rock us that way, rock on, rock on
Now is the time, time to release
Time to release your love
Now is the time, time to release
Time to release your love
Release (release), release the tension (release the tension)
There's too much tension (there's too much tension) in the world today
Release (release), show some emotion (show some emotion)
And let the motion (and let the motion) rock us that way, rock on, rock on, rock on
Release (release), release the tension (release)
There's too much tension in the world today
Release (release), show some emotion (release)
And let the motion rock us that way, rock on, rock on
Rock on, rock on, rock on, ooohooo!
(There's too much tension in the world today)
(Release, release, show some emotion)
(And let the motion rock us that way, rock on, rock on, rock on)
