Lyrics

Nervous Energy

[Verse 1]

Sure of myself

So, don't get distressed

Yeah I'm sure of myself

It's me I detest

[Chorus]

I sit here waiting

Trying to kill my day

It's you I'm shaking for

My nervous energy

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

[Verse 2]

I'm sure of myself

Put me to the test

Yes, I'm sure of myself

I don't need to impress

[Chorus]

I sit here waiting

Trying to kill my day

It's you I'm shaking for

My nervous energy

[Post-Chorus]

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Yeah!

[Break]

Sit here waiting

Sit here waiting

Sit here waiting

Sit here waiting

I sit here waiting

[Chorus]

I sit here waiting

Trying to kill my day

It's you I'm shaking for

My nervous energy
