Rush To Relax

01 ANXIETY
ANXIETY
IT HAD ME BITING MY NAILS
ANXIETY
A LITTLE SCARED I MIGHT FAIL
ANXIETY
IT HAD MY THIRD EYE BLIND
ANXIETY
AFRAID TO FACE MANKIND
ANXIETY
IT HAD ME GRINDING MY TEETH
ANXIETY
IT HAD ME FEELING THE HEAT

I WAS SITING ON THE FENCE
TRYING TO HIDE FROM THE AWKWARD SILENCE

I'M GETTING BETTER IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS
I'M NOW ABLE TO HOLD A CONVERSATION
WITH YOU... DON'T MIND IF I DO

ANXIETY
IT TOOK THE WIND FROM MY SAILS
ANXIETY
IT HAD ME CLIMBING THE RAILS
ANXIETY
IT HAD ME STAYING AT HOME
ANXIETY
SCARED TO GO OUT ON MY OWN

I WAS SITING ON THE FENCE
TRYING TO HIDE FROM THE AWKWARD SILENCE

I'M GETTING BETTER IN SOCIAL SITUATIONS
I'M NOW ABLE TO HOLD A CONVERSATION
WITH YOU... DON'T MIND IF I DO

02 I'VE GOT A FEELING
I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT HURTS MY BRAIN
THE SORT OF FEELINGS THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN
I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT'S STUCK ON MY CHEST
THE SORT OF FEELINGS THAT I WISH TO EXPRESS
I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT'S STUCK INSIDE
I'D LET THEM OUT BUT THEY WANT TO HIDE
I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT'S BOTTLED UP
I'D LET THEM OUT BUT I THINK THEY'RE STUCK
I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT STUCK IN MY HEAD
THE SORT OF FEELING THAT I WISH I'D SAID
I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT HURTS MY BRAIN
THE SORT OF FEELINGS THAT I CAN'T EXPLAIN

WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS
WHEN YOU SLEEP YOU SNORE
BUT SOME LITTLE FEELINGS
CAN'T BE IGNORED

03 TUNING OUT
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE DREAM YOU HAD
OR IF IT WAS GOOD OR IF IT WAS BAD
I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR MUM AND DAD

I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT

I DON'T CARE IF YOU READ MY MAIL
OR IF YOU WIN OR IF YOU FAIL
I DON'T CARE IF YOUR SOUL'S UP FOR SALE

I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT

I DON'T CARE IF YOU GIVE OR RECEIVE
OR IF YOU STAY OR IF YOU LEAVE
I DON'T CARE IF YOUR HEART'S ON YOUR SLEEVE

I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT

I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE FEELING DEPRESSED
A LITTLE TIRED AND OVER STRESSED
I DON'T CARE IF YOU NEED A REST

I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT

I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE BLOWN A FUSE
OR IF YOU MADE THE FRONT PAGE NEWS
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE CONFUSED

I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT

I DON'T CARE IF YOU STAMP YOUR FEET
OR IF YOU GO AND TAKE A LEAP
I DON'T CARE IF YOUR BIRD DON'T CHEEP

I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT, I'M TUNING OUT

04 GENTLEMAN
I WANT TO BE YOUR GENTLEMAN
I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
STAND UP FOR YOU
WHEN YOU NEED A SEAT ON THE BUS
BE THE KIND OF GUY
THAT YOU CAN TRUST
AND WHEN IT'S COLD OUTSIDE
I'LL LEND YOU MY COAT
AND WHEN YOU'RE FEELING HOPELESS
I'LL PROVIDE YOU WITH HOPE
OPEN THE DOOR FOR YOU
WHEN YOU WALK TOWARDS IT
AND PAY FOR YOUR MEAL
WHEN YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT

ALL I WANT TO BE
ALL YOU NEED FROM ME
IS A GENTLEMAN

I'LL TRY TO BE THE FIRST TO APOLOGISE
IF WE HAVE A FIGHT
EVEN IF YOU'RE WRONG
BUT MOSTLY WHEN YOU'RE RIGHT
AND I'LL SHELTER YOU FROM THE RAIN
WHEN WE WALK DOWN THE STREET
AND POINT OUT ALL THE PUDDLES
SO YOU DON'T WET YOUR FEET
AND IF YOU WERE TO INVITE ME INTO YOUR FLAT
I'D TAKE OFF MY JACKET AND MY HAT
WIPE MY BOOTS ON YOUR MAT
AND ALWAYS BE FRIENDLY TO YOUR BIRD AND YOUR CAT
I WANT TO BE YOUR GENTLEMAN
I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND

ALL I WANT TO BE
ALL YOU NEED FROM ME
IS A GENTLEMAN

OH AND I'LL COOK YOU DINNERS
THAT YOU LIKE TO EAT
WITH LOTS OF VEGIES
IF YOU DON'T EAT MEAT
AND WHEN WE WATCH SCARY MOVIES
I'LL COVER YOUR EYES
AND GUARD YOU FROM DANGER
WHEN I SEE IT ARISE

ALL I WANT TO BE
ALL YOU NEED FROM ME
IS A GENTLEMAN

05 WALKED INTO A CORNER
I WAS FEELING ANTI SOCIAL
I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE TALKING
BUT I'D WALKED INTO A PARTY
A PARTY FULL OF PEOPLE
SO I WALKED INTO THE CORNER
I WALKED INTO THE CORNER OF THE ROOM
I WALKED INTO THE CORNER OF THE ROOM

I WAS FEELING ANTI SOCIAL
I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE TALKING
BUT I'D WALKED INTO A PARTY
A PARTY FULL OF PEOPLE
SO I WALKED INTO THE CORNER
I WALKED INTO THE CORNER OF THE ROOM
I WALKED INTO THE WALL
I WALKED INTO THE WALL
I WALKED INTO THE WALL
I WALKED INTO THE WALL
I WALKED INTO THE WALL
TO SAVE ME FROM THE FALL
I WALKED INTO THE WALL
TO SAVE ME FROM THE FALL
I WALKED INTO THE WALL

06 SECOND GUESSING
...

07 I CAN BE A JERK
I KNOW AT TIMES
I CAN BE A JERK
BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE
I WANT US TO WORK

YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE
MAKING YOU CRY
BUT I'D RATHER TELL THE TRUTH
THAN TELL YOU A LIE

PLEASE LET ME PUT
MY ARMS AROUND YOU
AND ACCEPT THAT I AM SORRY
AND YOU WERE SORRY TOO

08 BURN
GET TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN
SPENT ALL THE MONEY THAT YOU NEVER EARNED
YOU'RE GOING TO BURN
YOU'RE GOING TO BURN OUT

TAKE A SHOT WHEN ITS NOT YOUR TURN
YOU MAKE MISTAKES BUT YOU NEVER LEARN
YOU'RE GOING TO BURN
YOU'RE GOING TO BURN OUT

WHEN I FIRST WROTE THE LYRICS TO THIS SONG
WELL I WAS ANGRY BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU DID ME WRONG
BUT NOW I REALISE IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT
YOUR COMMON SENSE CAME TO A HALT
IT'S IN YOUR FACE, THAT BLANK EXPRESSION
YOU'VE GOT A BAD CASE OF MANIC DEPRESSION
BUT PRETTY SOON YOU'L BE ALRIGHT
THAT TORCH OF YOURS WILL BURN BRIGHT

YOUR MOTHER'S CRYING
YOU'VE LOST YOUR MIND

THERE IS NO DENYING
THAT YOU'LL BE FINE
YOUR MOTHER'S CRYING

09 ISN'T IT NICE
YOU'RE JUST A FOSSIL
A THING OF THE PAST
DUG UP FROM THE DIRT
AND STUCK BEHIND GLASS
UP ON YOUR PEDESTAL
UP ON YOUR STAND
GET A LITTLE HIGHER
WITH A HELPING HAND

ISN'T IT NICE, ISN'T IT GRAND

YOU SOON REALISE
YOU'RE ONE OF A KIND
YOU RISE IN VALUE
AS TIME GOES BY
AND NOW YOU'RE IN
GREAT DEMAND
PEOPLE COME AND SEE YOU
FROM ACROSS THE LAND

ISN'T IT NICE, ISN'T IT GRAND

10 RUSH TO RELAX
CALM DOWN, CHILL OUT
BREATH IN, BREATH OUT
SLOW DOWN, HAVE A REST
DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A BREATH
PUT YOUR FEET UP
AND SIT RIGHT BACK
RUSH,
RUSH TO RELAX
RUSH
RUSH TO RELAX
YOU'RE GOING ON A HOLIDAY
AND YOU'RE NEVER COMING BACK

CALM DOWN, CHILL OUT
BREATH IN, BREATH OUT
SLOW DOWN, HAVE A REST
DON'T FORGET TO TAKE A BREATH

RUSH,
RUSH TO RELAX
RUSH
RUSH TO RELAX
YOU'RE GOING ON A HOLIDAY
AND YOU'RE NEVER COMING BACK

RUSH,
RUSH TO RELAX
RUSH
RUSH TO RELAX

YOU'RE GOING ON A HOLIDAY
AND YOU'RE NEVER COMING BACK

SLOW DOWN
BEFORE YOU FALL DOWN
SLOW DOWN
BEFORE YOU FALL DOWN
