Anxious (Demo)

[Verse 1: Jake]

I could say it right now

But it's not the time

You see those friendly faces but they only make you anxious

You could shout it out now

In the crowded space

People have been hoping but I've never been that open

[Chorus: Jake]

I've been here before

Don't you know it's not the same

Don't you know I'm not the one who told ya

I've been here before

Don't you know it's not the same

Don't you know I'm not the one who told ya

[Verse 2: Jake]

I wish I'd seen this family's start, so I could see us thrive

We didn't make it out together, but we made it out alive

See, it's not about hope, as much as honesty

I need you in this fight, so we can someday get it right

[Chorus: Jake]

I've been here before

Don't you know it's not the same

Don't you know I'm not the one who told ya

I've been here before

Don't you know it's not the same

Don't you know I'm not the one who told ya

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

I wish this head would quiet down

So I could talk to you

Help me sound out what's been in and we can finally make it through

I could say it right now

But it's not the time

I know you've been hopin'

But I've never been that open

[Bridge: Jake]

I'll scream it but I won't believe it

I'll tell you what you want to hear then

Just give me a week or two to find it

Then maybe we'll try hard to ignite it

[Chorus: Jake]

I've been here before

Don't you know it's not the same

Don't you know I'm not the one who told ya

I've been here before

Don't you know it's not the same

Don't you know I'm not the one who told ya

[Outro: Jake]

I'll scream it but I won't believe it (I've been here before)

(Don't you know it's not the same)

(Don't you know I'm not the one who told ya)

I'll tell you what they want to hear then (I've been here before)

Just give me a week or two to find it (Don't you know it's not the same)

(Don't you know I'm not the one who told ya)

Then maybe we'll try hard to ignite it
