This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
When I wake up, I see the sky
I kiss the girl, open my eyes
First time I felt it, I was on my way to Aspen,
Sitting shotgun, ninja phase
Driver Macklemore in the back
When it happened. "What's going on?"
My vision funny, left side of my body scuzzy
And my motor skills were slowly being taken from me
I'm staring at my own hand like it was somebody else's
Panic beginning to ensue because I was feeling helpless
Maybe this iced coffee has joined the vodka and the diet soda
That I been consuming every night in the auto
Wisteria up ahead, "Jay, could you stop here, please?"
Maybe I just need some fresh air, deep breaths and to try and breathe
But when I got up to walk I just collapsed
My head is spinning, I'm thinkin a stroke or a mild heart attack
Stagger back into the wind, off to the nearest ER
Nurse thought I was on drugs, guess she was right from afar
But at the time my diagnosis was vertigo,
Starvaion and, basically, cocaine without even doing coke
Now on the gurney with that I.V. in my arm
Alls I could think about that from my mom's pops
Then I got me and everybody I cared about me and my welfare
Dug myself a hole to get out of with no healthcare
I come to find out, in Albuquerque, my disagnosis wrong
Severe panic attacks was what was happening all along
I come to find out it runs in my family
So what they did for me wrong, I kept my own
I reckon I'll use it to even become more strong
When I wake up, I see the sky
I kiss the girl, open my eyes
I will be here
And I will be here
And I will be here
And I will be, and I will be, and I will be...
When I wake up, I see the sky
I kiss the girl, open my eyes
I will be here
And I will be here
And I will be here
And I will be, and I will be, and I will be...
I kiss the girl, open my eyes
First time I felt it, I was on my way to Aspen,
Sitting shotgun, ninja phase
Driver Macklemore in the back
When it happened. "What's going on?"
My vision funny, left side of my body scuzzy
And my motor skills were slowly being taken from me
I'm staring at my own hand like it was somebody else's
Panic beginning to ensue because I was feeling helpless
Maybe this iced coffee has joined the vodka and the diet soda
That I been consuming every night in the auto
Wisteria up ahead, "Jay, could you stop here, please?"
Maybe I just need some fresh air, deep breaths and to try and breathe
But when I got up to walk I just collapsed
My head is spinning, I'm thinkin a stroke or a mild heart attack

And I will be here
And I will be, and I will be, and I will be...
When I wake up, I see the sky
I kiss the girl, open my eyes
I will be here
And I will be here
And I will be here
And I will be, and I will be, and I will be...

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song, as apparent by the lyrics, is about anxiety and severe panic attacks. The album title, ANX, is a suggestion to anxiety and is talked about many times in other songs.
