Anxiety (Get Nervous) Lyrics

[Intro]
(Get nervous, get nervous)
(Get nervous, get nervous, get nervous)
(Get nervous, get nervous, get nervous)
(Get nervous, get nervous)

[Verse 1]
I feel a little shaky, I can't control my nerves
I know you think I'm freakin', but can't you feel the curves?
I swear to you, this feeling, it scares me half to death
It gathers in my throat and it gathers up my breath

[Chorus]
Anxiety, got me on the run
Anxiety, yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety, can't get nothin' done
Anxiety, spoils all the fun

[Verse 2]
I'm picking up the telephone, there's no one I can call
I need somebody fast and can't find no sleep at all
I wish I could relax, I just can't stop my mind
I wish I could collapse, but my body's not that kind

[Chorus]
Anxiety, got me on the run
Anxiety, yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety, can't get nothin' done
Anxiety, spoils all the fun
[Bridge]
Can't you hear my heartbeat, hear the way it sounds?
Can't you hear my heartbeat? You hear the way it pounds?
Just give me somethin' to slow it down, yeah

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Sometimes in the city, sometimes in my car
I pound on the windows like a bee inside a jar

[Chorus]
Anxiety, got me on the run
Anxiety, yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety, can't get nothin' done
Anxiety, spoils all the fun
Anxiety, got me on the run
Anxiety, yeah, I just need someone
Anxiety, can't get nothin' done
Anxiety, spoils all the fun

[Outro]
(Get nervous, get nervous)
(Get nervous, get nervous)
(Get nervous, get nervous)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
