Calm Me Down by American Authors Lyrics
[Intro]
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me down
[Verse 1]
That day in New York, I spun out
I fell short, but I felt close to you
One night in Detroit, I thought there
Was no point but I felt close to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone tellin' me what to do
What to think, where to be
But every day, every day, every day’s fillin' up with my anxiety
I can barely open up my eyes
Open up my eyes, eyes, eyes
[Chorus]
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me down
I don't know if I can stay strong
Hold on, for too long
I’ve been lost
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me
[Verse 2]
That day in Brooklyn, I spun out
You jumped in and I felt close to you
One night in LA, I thought there
Was no way but I felt close to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone tellin' me what to do
What to think, where to be
But every day, every day, every day's fillin' up with my anxiety
I can barely open up my eyes
Open up my eyes, eyes, eyes
[Chorus]
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me down
I don't know if I can stay strong
Hold on, for too long
I've been lost
I need you here to calm me down
[Post-Chorus]
I need you here to calm me
Down, down
I need you here to calm me
Down, down
I need you here to calm me
[Bridge]
Everyone tellin' me what to do
What to think, where to be
But every day, every day, every day's fillin’ up with my anxiety
I can barely open up my eyes
Open up my eyes
All this paranoia’s got my vision going blind
Everybody tellin' me where to go
How to live, how to see
But every day’s, every day's, every day's fillin' up with insecurities
I can barely open up my eyes
Open up my eyes, eyes, eyes
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me down
[Chorus]
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me down
I don’t know if I can stay strong
Hold on, for too long
I've been lost
I need you here to calm me down
[Post-Chorus]
I need you here to calm me
Down, down
I need you here to calm me
Down, down
I need you here to calm me
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me down
[Verse 1]
That day in New York, I spun out
I fell short, but I felt close to you
One night in Detroit, I thought there
Was no point but I felt close to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone tellin' me what to do
What to think, where to be
But every day, every day, every day’s fillin' up with my anxiety
I can barely open up my eyes
Open up my eyes, eyes, eyes
[Chorus]
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me down
I don't know if I can stay strong
Hold on, for too long
I’ve been lost
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me
[Verse 2]
That day in Brooklyn, I spun out
You jumped in and I felt close to you
One night in LA, I thought there
Was no way but I felt close to you
[Pre-Chorus]

But every day, every day, every day's fillin' up with my anxiety
I can barely open up my eyes
Open up my eyes, eyes, eyes
[Chorus]
I need you here to calm me down
I need you here to calm me down
I don't know if I can stay strong
Hold on, for too long
I've been lost
I need you here to calm me down
[Post-Chorus]
I need you here to calm me
Down, down
I need you here to calm me
Down, down
I need you here to calm me

I need you here to calm me down
[Post-Chorus]
I need you here to calm me
Down, down
I need you here to calm me
Down, down
I need you here to calm me
