Caught up in living
Getting through each day
When all the tomorrows become faded yesterdays
Are you slipping away

Lighted by our schedules
Rushing here and there
Become strangers to each other
Miss you everywhere
How did we get this way

When the loneliness becomes too much to bear
Girl, this merry-go-round
Tell each other we still care
Help me turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment, somewhere we can unwind
Losing touch, we forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds
In the silence, hear your heart beat next to mine
Baby, help me turn down the world tonight

So much information streaming at us fast
What I really need to know is if
We can make it last
I wanna keep you close

We make commitments
Take responsibility
Why do we let them come between you and me
That's when I miss you most

We gotta take this night
Throw in our love all the way
Before our moment is gone
Baby, say it's not too late

Help me turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment, somewhere we can unwind
Losing touch, we forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds
Far beyond those, with your body next to mine
Won't you help me turn down the world tonight

Turn down the world tonight

Help me turn down the world tonight
Take a quiet moment, somewhere we can unwind
Losing touch, we forget to take time
To share what's in our hearts
Speak what's on our minds

Oh, turn down the world
Help me turn down the world tonight
In the silence, hear your heart beat next to mine
Baby, help me turn down the world tonight
