Is she mad at me?” I spend the whole morning cracking jokes just to see Eventually she screams “I just got dumped” “Oh thank god, I thought it was something I’d done…” At this point the boss says “Oli you got a minute?” And my blood runs cold like “Oh god I’m finished” Is it coz I’m always late? Or all the mistakes I make? Or maybe all the personal emails I’ve written I walk into his office with my teeth gritted tight Tryna keep it light like “You gave me quite a fright… I’m sure that I’m only overreacting though, right?” As he motions to sit down and then says “Not quite…” (Ah shi…) Yeah this one’s for my anxious people All my tense and my angst-filled people Who pull up next to a cop and get sweaty and hot whether or not they’ve not done anything illegal Yeah this one’s for my anxious people All my stressed out and angst-filled people My hypochondriacs, who over-react Who get a mole and assume that it’s lethal Verse 3 The evening’s no better than the day I go home and fall into my bed where I lay I pick up my phone up to text this chick I’ve been chatting to It’s been going well so I try to arrange a date I spend 20 minutes crafting the perfect message Lamenting over what to say before I send it Eventually I go with “Hey” and a smiley face Hit send and now I sit back and play the waiting game Straight away I see two blue ticks So I know she’s received it and she’s also viewed it But 5 minutes go by and still no reply Which is all my mind needs to go into overdrive So I type
