Jason Isbell – Anxiety Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 44 Second

Anxiety
How do you always get the best of me?
Im out here living in a fantasy
I cant enjoy a goddamn thing

Anxiety
Why am I never where I am supposed to be?
Even with my lover sleeping close to me
Im wide awake and Im 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, Im 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?
Im out here living in a fantasy
I cant enjoy a goddamn thing

Anxiety
Why am I never where I am supposed to be?
Even with my lover sleeping close to me
Im wide awake and Im in pain

Its the weight of the world but its nothing at all
Light as a prayer and then I feel myself fall
Youve got to give me a minute
Cause Im way down in it and I cant breathe so I cant 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?
Im out here living in a fantasy
I cant enjoy a goddamn thing

Anxiety
Why am I never where I am supposed to be?
Even with my lover sleeping close to me
Im wide awake and Im in a pain

A crowded room is a burning battlefield
If I dont move, Ill come undone
My heart beats harder, a hammer striking steel
Will I walk now or be like Wait and Run?

Anxiety
How do you always get the best of me?
I should be living in a fantasy
I cant enjoy a goddamn thing

Anxiety
Why am I never where I am supposed to be?
Even with my lover sleeping close to me
Im wide awake and Im in pain
Im wide awake and Im in pain
Im wide awake and Im in pain
