Anxious Lyrics

Hanging on the line
Waiting to be picked
Same old story
Every time I ask a favour of you
Force and hold me back
So that we don't win
So that you don't lose
So long I don't move

Trained to expect
We're forced to deny
If you take away the feelings
You take away everything

I don't understand
Why you always smile
Meaning to be sad and that's what I am
Hold and take away
Now you've got the chance
You'll feel it one day when you're by yourself

Trained to expect
We're forced to deny
If you take away the feelings
You take away everything

Anxious
I get a little bit
Anxious, anxious

I'm just a little bit anxious

I've got half a mind
Haven't got the time
Always too busy every time I ask a favour of you
Couldn't help it
Someone made you do it
God give me strength
I'm in the same position as you

Trained to expect
We're forced to deny
If you take away the feelings
You take away everything

Oh anxious
I get a little bit anxious
Anxious
I'm just a little bit, scoobi doo bi doo
Anxious
Ah da da da da da
Ah da da da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Oh anxious

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
