Paranoid
Jonas Brother Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I make the most of all the stress
I try to live without regrets
But I'm about to break a sweat

I'm freakin' out
It's like a poison in my brain
It's like a fog that blurs the sane
It's like a vine you can't untangle
I'm freakin' out

Every time I turn around
Something don't feel right
Just might be paranoid
I'm avoiding the lines 'cause they just might split
Can someone stop the noise?
I don't know what it is
But it just don't fit
I'm paranoid

Yeah

I take the necessary steps
To get some air into my chest
I'm taking all the doctor's meds
I'm still freaking out
That's why my ex is still my ex
I never trust a word she says
I'm runnin' all the background checks
And she's freaking out

Every time I turn around
Something's just not right
Just might be paranoid
I'm avoiding the lines cause they just might split
Can someone stop the noise?
I don't know what it is
But it just don't fit
Consider me destroyed
I don't know how to act 'cause I lost my head

I must be paranoid
I never thought it would come to this
I'm paranoid
Stuck in the room
With staring faces

Yeah

I'm caught in a nightmare
I can't wake up
If you hear my cry, running through the streets
I'm about to freak
Come and rescue me

Just might be paranoid
Yeah
I'm avoiding the lines 'cause they just might split
Can someone stop the noise?
I don't know what it is
But it just don't fit
Consider me destroyed

I don't know how to act
'Cause I lost my head
Oh, I must be paranoid (I must be paranoid)




I never thought it would come to this
I'm paranoid
