The come down here was easy, like the arrival of a new day
But a dream like this gets wasted without you
Under the pressure
Is where we are
Under the pressure
Yeah, it’s where we are, babe
You’re the only one — like an illusion
When it all breaks down and we’re runaways
Standing in the wake of our pain
And we stare straight into nothing
But we call it all the same
You were raised on a promise
Found that over time
Better come around to the new way
Or watch as it all breaks down here
Under the pressure
Well the breakdown here, stolen or we let go
I want to drive by Anna, staring on
And you call “here, another whisky”
Crying in a beer, pissin’
I’m crying in my bed
Loosening my grip
Fading in the world
Just trying not to crack under the pressure
