[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]
We make commitments
Take responsibility
Why do we let them come between you and me
That's when I miss you most
We got to 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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
