[Verse 1]
Not gonna tell you there’s no cause for alarm
Your gut feelings are often not wrong
I’m just saying you should maybe pump the brakes
Making choices out of haste, not considering the stakes, Oh
If you try to make a move while you are very clearly compromised
And you jump the gun, you’re not allowed to be surprised
When the bullets that you fire cut you down to size
And scare the ones you love away so
[Pre-Chorus]
Take a breath before you speak
So you don’t wind up saying something you don’t mean
[Chorus]
Whеn you panic, panic, panic
Makes it hard to function
Panic, panic, panic!
No, it won’t do much good
Running around and feeding in to all the lies you tеll yourself
Panic, panic, panic!
Don’t panic, panic, panic!
Panic, panic, panic!
[Verse 2]
(Your brain) Might be productive for a minute or two
Then in the next one decide to ruin your day
(Your brain) Makes perfect sense of all the things it has to do
But still gets in its own way
(Your brain) Knows how to psych you out effectively better than any scary movie
That’s ever been made
(Your brain) Will not play nice, it will take the darkest side
You should take your own advice when it’s time to be decisive you should
[Pre-Chorus]
Take a breath before you act
Make sure you don’t do anything you can’t take back
[Chorus]
When you panic, panic, panic
Makes it hard to function
Panic, panic, panic!
No, it won’t do much good
Running around and feeding in to all the lies you tell yourself
Panic, panic, panic!
It doesn’t solve the problem
Panic, panic!
Put your energy somewhere else
Don’t live in fear, calm down, keep looking up
Things will get better
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus]
Take a breath before you speak
[Chorus]
When you panic, panic, panic
Makes it hard to function
Panic, panic, panic!
No, it won’t do much good
Running around and feeding in to all the lies you tell yourself
Panic, panic, panic!
It doesn’t solve the problem
Panic, panic!
Put your energy somewhere else
Don’t live in fear, calm down, keep looking up
Things get better
[Outro]
Don’t panic, panic, panic!
Panic, panic, panic!
Things get better
Don’t panic, panic, panic!
