Verse 1<\/p>\n
I leave my house early in a hazy blur
\nJump into my car now I\u2019m driving on my way to work
\nI\u2019m nearly there, when I feel a sense of dread
\nAs these thoughts of despair start to creep into my head
\nLike \u201cDid I lock the front door?\u201d
\nI must have done of course
\nBut the more I think about it the more I feel unsure
\nThis happens every time and it\u2019s always fine
\nBut it\u2019s sod\u2019s law – the time one time I don\u2019t check I\u2019ll get robbed blind
\nI\u2019m having visions of it flapping in the wind
\nAs burglars remove all my things even the kitchen sink
\nI feel insane but I turn back anyway
\nCoz if I don\u2019t I know I\u2019ll fret about it all day
\nI get home and the door\u2019s locked, obviously
\nI feel crazy but at least I\u2019ve got some relief
\nI\u2019m driving back now happy that there\u2019s nothing wrong
\nWhen suddenly I\u2019m like \u201cWait, did I leave the oven on?\u201d<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
Yeah this one\u2019s for my anxious people
\nAll my tense and my angst-filled people
\nWho keep calm on the surface, and don\u2019t seem to be nervous
\nBut underneath feel far from peaceful<\/p>\n
Yeah this one\u2019s for my anxious people
\nAll my stressed out and angst-filled people
\nWho don\u2019t answer the phone to numbers that are unknown
\nIn case it\u2019s someone that they don\u2019t want to speak to<\/p>\n
Verse 2<\/p>\n
I get to work and now I\u2019m running late
\nWalk in through the door and say \u201cgood morning\u201d to my mate
\nShe barely responds and seems a little unfriendly
\nWhich sends me spiralling into a frenzy
\nLike \u201cWhat could it be? Is she mad at me?\u201d
\nI spend the whole morning cracking jokes just to see
\nEventually she screams \u201cI just got dumped\u201d
\n\u201cOh thank god, I thought it was something I\u2019d done\u2026\u201d
\nAt this point the boss says \u201cOli you got a minute?\u201d
\nAnd my blood runs cold like \u201cOh god I\u2019m finished\u201d
\nIs it coz I\u2019m always late? Or all the mistakes I make?
\nOr maybe all the personal emails I\u2019ve written
\nI walk into his office with my teeth gritted tight
\nTryna keep it light like \u201cYou gave me quite a fright\u2026
\nI\u2019m sure that I\u2019m only overreacting though, right?\u201d
\nAs he motions to sit down and then says \u201cNot quite\u2026\u201d (Ah shi\u2026)<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
Yeah this one\u2019s for my anxious people
\nAll my tense and my angst-filled people
\nWho pull up next to a cop and get sweaty and hot
\nwhether or not they\u2019ve not done anything illegal<\/p>\n
Yeah this one\u2019s for my anxious people
\nAll my stressed out and angst-filled people
\nMy hypochondriacs, who over-react
\nWho get a mole and assume that it\u2019s lethal<\/p>\n
Verse 3<\/p>\n
The evening\u2019s no better than the day
\nI go home and fall into my bed where I lay
\nI pick up my phone up to text this chick I\u2019ve been chatting to
\nIt\u2019s been going well so I try to arrange a date
\nI spend 20 minutes crafting the perfect message
\nLamenting over what to say before I send it
\nEventually I go with \u201cHey\u201d and a smiley face
\nHit send and now I sit back and play the waiting game
\nStraight away I see two blue ticks
\nSo I know she\u2019s received it and she\u2019s also viewed it
\nBut 5 minutes go by and still no reply
\nWhich is all my mind needs to go into overdrive
\nSo I type \u201cIf you\u2019re not on it that\u2019s fine babe
\nAt least have the decency to say it to my face\u201d
\nShe writes back \u201cUh chill Mr Type A
\nI couldn\u2019t reply coz I was driving on the highway\u201d
\nAh man what I goddamn mess I am
\nI swear this problem that I\u2019ve got is getting out of hand
\nCoz now it\u2019s started interfering in my daily life
\nI wonder what it was that made me into this crazy guy?
\nBut the the truth I always was a morbid kid
\nWorst case scenario – bet you I\u2019d be drawn to it
\nWhen my rents went away and were 10 minutes late
\nI\u2019d picture the rest of my life spent in an orphanage
\nMaybe I should get some help and see a shrink
\nBut I\u2019m worried if I tell \u2018em all the things that I think
\nInstead of commending me on my courage and my bravery
\nThey\u2019d probably chuck me in a padded cell and throw away the key<\/p>\n
Chorus<\/p>\n
Yeah this one\u2019s for my anxious people
\nAll my tense and my angst-filled people
\nWho seem confident but get a compliment
\nAnd wonder whether it was really deceitful<\/p>\n
Yeah this one\u2019s for my anxious people
\nAll my stressed out and angst-filled people
\nI know you think it\u2019s just you, but trust me this is untrue
\nHow do I know? Coz it happens to me too<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
