Lyrics

anxiety, how do you always get the best of me?, i'm out here living in a fantasy, i can't enjoy a goddamn thing, anxiety, why am i never where i am supposed to be?, even with my lover sleeping close to me, i'm wide awake and i'm in pain, watching the sunrise slash through the blinds, dust in the room hovers over mine, lying here in silence, wife and child still sleeping deep enough to dream, and oh, i'm a lucky man today, but so afraid that time will take it all from me, anxiety, how do you always get the best of me?, i'm out here living in a fantasy, i can't enjoy a goddamn thing, anxiety, why am i never where i am supposed to be?, even with my lover sleeping close to me, i'm wide awake and i'm in pain, it's the weight of the world, but it's nothing at all, light as a prayer, and then i feel myself fall, you got to give me a minute, because i'm way down in it, and i can't breathe so i can't speak, i want to be strong and steady, always ready, now, i feel so small, i feel so weak, anxiety, how do you always get the best of me?, i'm out here living in a fantasy, i can't enjoy a goddamn thing, anxiety, why am i never where i am supposed to be?, even with my lover sleeping close to me, i'm wide awake and i'm in a pain, a crowded room is a burning battlefield, if i don't move, i'll come undone, my heart beats harder, a hammer striking steel, will i walk now or be a "wait and run"?, anxiety, how do you always get the best of me?, i'm out here living in a fantasy, i can't enjoy a goddamn thing, anxiety, why am i never where i am supposed to be?, even with my lover sleeping close to me, i'm wide awake and i'm in pain, i'm wide awake and i'm in pain, i'm wide awake and i'm in pain
