Jason Isbell - Anxiety lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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"? [Chorus] 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 [Instrumental]
