About This Track

'nervous' by joan is a 2023 Pop track from the album 'superglue'. The lyrics find a speaker thrown off balance by someone else’s behaviour, with nerves turning into stammered speech, nausea, and frantic self concealment. They describe feeling like they are back in high school, tripping over their shoes and struggling to keep control. One moment sums up the emotional weather: “You make me nervous”. The overall tone is anxious and playfully panicked, like a crush that will not let the body behave.

"nervous" is a track by joan, from the album superglue, released 18th April 2023. The track is 2:59 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 7 articles about joan.

Lyrics

nervous

You make me nervous, and now I'm slurring my words
And it's like you do it on purpose
And I nah, nah, nah, nah

Twist the chain on my necklace
Try not to throw up my breakfast
And I'm obsessively trying to hide
You make me

Feel like I'm in high school
Tripping over my shoes
Starting to sweat
Now I'm checking my breath

I don't know if you notice
You're my singular focus
So stuck in my head
I wish cared less

It's not like me to bite my tongue and hold back
But something keeps getting in the way
Two, three ('cause)

You make me nervous, and now I'm slurring my words
And it's like you do it on purpose
And I nah, nah, nah, nah

Twist the chain on my necklace
Try not to throw up my breakfast
And I'm obsessively trying to hide

You make me nah nah nervous
You make me nah nah nervous (mhmm)
You make me

Wish I was your shadow
Know everything you know
You're so intelligent (hmm)
That's taking my breath

It's not like me to freeze up in the moment
But somehow I've forgotten how to speak

You make me nervous, and now I'm slurring my words
And it's like you do it on purpose
And I nah, nah, nah, nah

Twist the chain on my necklace
Try not to throw up my breakfast
And I'm obsessively trying to hide

You make me nah nah nervous
You make me nah nah nervous (mhmm)
You make me nah nah nervous
You make me nah nah nervous (mhmm)
You make me

Wanna say what I feel, but
I can't right now 'cause
I don't wanna mess this up
When you're around
I don't know how to not freak out 'cause

You make me nervous, yeah
You make me nervous
Nah nah nah nah

You make me nervous, and now I'm slurring my words
And it's like you do it on purpose
And I nah, nah, nah, nah

Twist the chain on my necklace
Try not to throw up my breakfast
And I'm obsessively trying to hide

You make me nah nah nervous
You make me nah nah nervous (mhmm)
You make me nah nah nervous
You make me nah nah nervous (mhmm)

You make me

    joan: "Pop can be whatever you want it to be"

    Alan Thomas and Steven Rutherford - aka Arkansas duo joan - make chilled out, grooving retro synth-pop tunes that call back to the likes of 80s legends Pet Shop Boys in their sparkly heyday.
