Anxiety Lyrics - Jason Isbell & 400 Unit

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
