“I can change” misheard lyric

There's a line (actually just one word) in the first verse of the song that there seems to be some confusion about, and that I think the lyric websites are getting wrong. The websites generally say “ring the alarm, ring the alarm, BORE me and hold me and cling to my arm.” However I think he is pretty clearly saying BAR me - as in holding out your arm to block someone. Which also makes a lot more sense with the lyric, which is already kind of using fighting/boxing imagery - ringing the alarm for the fight, etc.. I know these lyric websites are very often wrong but I don’t know how to access the official ones so I was wondering what other people thought.
