Lyrics
lately i leave my mind to trouble
i made a pact to keep you
but you’re just my problem
okay if you still wanna sleep in
one more tomorrow cheapened
it was nice to meet then
what better place to hide
til every minute goes
from morning to night
soft and sweet
are you sleeping off all the things that i said?
counting sheep in soursweet indifference?
lately i leave my mind to trouble
i made a pact to keep you
but you’re just my problem
are you sleeping off all the things that i said?
counting sheep in soursweet indifference?
hard to make it out of the sheets of your bed
counting sheep in soursweet indifference
one two three four five six
drown your shame as time skips
i can’t change the story as
i’m burying you in your womb

It's wild to hear a lead single and just have this gut feeling that the record is going to be a scene staple for a long time. I have such a good feeling that Bambi is going to be massive.

[eguinot]

Reminds me some of the best Jimmy Eat World stuff

[caseydellinger]

This band is gonna be huge, this song is ridiculously good and catchy. We’re in a post-emo era, where bands have elevated past the late 90s-2000s emo we grew up on.

[bonel]

Anxious knows how to write a damn chorus

[dawsonmuth]

Anyone else hearing a little bit of Third Eye Blind “Blue” in this track? I love it

[DavidTWGoliath]

Anxious just writes earworms. I keep coming back to this because I have to. So good!

[Ryanonthemix]

This is one of those songs that you can't listen to just once. It has to be on repeat.

BABE WAKE UP ANXIOUS DROPPED THE LEAD SINGLE "COUNTING SHEEP" OF THEIR NEW ALBUM BAMBI!!!

Edit* saw Anxious this past weekend here in Brooklyn and they opened the show with this <3 so sick that people already knew the words and were going crazy to it!

[brooksdubois]

I ordered a sweatshirt from Run for Cover and they sent me the wrong one, it said 'anxious' on it. Before I was just wearing it... now.... I'm rocking' it.

[Nick-okeq]

I've been looking for this sound for yeeeears. All of my teens through mid 20's. A newer Hard Rock band with good male vocals and soft meldoic elenents. Tasteful screams as well. Finally...

[normsteez]

Oh hell yes. Been following this band since I heard the long spring. You guys continue to impress me. Way to go!

Damn those instruments slap, every single one in perfect harmony. The lead's vocals both in sound & lyrics are not those cheap or lame sounding emo vocals you hear too often nowadays. It makes me actually feel emotion from my 32 year old emo heart. It reminds me of the old days.

[RadiostatsApp]

Damn! Just saw that this track is getting some great radio support on QCIndie in Regina, Canada.
