Staring at the in crowd at a party all alone
I'd probably have more fun playing video games at home
We have nothing in common, cause everyone is high
I just wanted to blend in, but it feels like sometimes

I forgot my costume or I'm the only kid that's in one
Nobody talks to the idiot
I need a laugh track played in the background
So the silence could be drowned out
Put my hoodie up so I'm not found out

I'm paranoid, paranoid
There's sharks in the swimming pool
All of the girls and boys, girls and boys
They rip me up at school
They know I'm paranoid, so I'll avoid trying to be good
Call me crazy but I see sharks in the swimming pool

Crop circles in my notebook, I draw so I don't speak
Get the answers wrong on purpose
So no one calls me a freak
It's like I've been conditioned, brainwashed to be ashamed
If aliens existed here, I bet they'll feel the same

Play a track in the background
So the silence could be drowned out
Put my hoodie up so I'm not found out

I'm paranoid, paranoid
There's sharks in the swimming pool
All of the girls and boys, girls and boys
They rip me up at school
They know I'm paranoid, so I'll avoid trying to be good
Call me crazy but I see sharks in the swimming pool

Sharks in the swimming pool
Sharks in the swimming pool

I tell my heart, "listen to my head
You don't have to fit in
Don't worry, you're not one of them
You don't have to blend in"

I'm paranoid, paranoid
There's sharks in the swimming pool
All of the girls and boys, girls and boys
They rip me up at school
They know I'm paranoid, so I'll avoid trying to be good
Call me crazy but I see sharks in the swimming pool

Sharks in the swimming pool
Sharks in the swimming pool
Sharks in the swimming pool
Call me crazy but I see sharks in the swimming pool
