Off Your Shoulders
Easing Burdens: An Anthem for the Anxious
Lyrics
I got friends but I'm still so anxious
I have friends, but I still experience anxiety.
Unsure what to do with my hands when I say things
I'm unsure about how to gesture while speaking.
Unsure how to make it up to you
I don't know how to make amends with you.
Maybe I'll just take some weight up off your shoulders
Considering taking some burden off your shoulders.
Take some weight up off your shoulders
Reiterating the intention to relieve your burdens.
We're all just anxious
Expressing that everyone experiences anxiety.
Crazy on occasion
Acknowledging occasional craziness in everyone.
Baby I'm like you, we're a problem generation
Identifying with being part of a problematic generation.
Cause you say that I got it all but it's complicated
Despite appearances, my life is complicated.
Overthink the text and calls from you when I say things
Overthinking messages and calls from you.
Unsure how to let you know its true
Uncertain about conveying the truth to you.
Maybe I'll just take some weight up off your shoulders
Considering lightening your burdens.
Take some weight up off your shoulders
Reiterating the intention to relieve your burdens.
Tell me, tell me tell me tell me all your problems, yeah
Encouraging open communication about problems.
I know we're all just anxious tell me
Acknowledging that everyone deals with anxiety.
We're all just anxious
Emphasizing that anxiety is a common experience.
Crazy on occasion
Acknowledging occasional craziness in everyone.
Baby I'm like you, we're a problem generation
Identifying with being part of a problematic generation.
Like maybe that's all we are, we're a problem generation
Suggesting that being a problematic generation defines us.
I know, you messed your expectations of me
Acknowledging that expectations about me have been disrupted.
It's alright not the first to think I'm far from crazy
Reassuring that being considered 'far from crazy' is common.
I know you got some problems why don't you share them with me
Inviting the sharing of personal problems.
We're both messed up but ain't that make life much more easy baby
Recognizing mutual imperfections, making life easier.
Tell me, tell me tell me tell me all your problems, yeah
Encouraging open communication about problems.
I know we're all just anxious tell me
Acknowledging that everyone deals with anxiety.
We're all just anxious
Emphasizing that anxiety is a common experience.
Crazy on occasion
Acknowledging occasional craziness in everyone.
Baby I'm like you, we're a problem generation
Identifying with being part of a problematic generation.
Yeah, maybe we're all just anxious
Suggesting that perhaps everyone is anxious.
I know we're all just anxious tell me
Reiterating that everyone deals with anxiety.
