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

    its a nice song, really mature for the Jonas Brothers. I can't wait until the new cd comes out. I have a feeling it's going to be good:)

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
