Is is just me, or every breath you take from the police is low key off beat ? Like something just doesn’t click, most of all in the verses of the song ? Don’t get me wrong i love this song, but I just feel like something is off beat ?

It’s the guitar. The song is in 4/4 time. Andy Summers is playing a repeated arpeggio that is literally on the “off” beats. 1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 4 AND… he’s playing on the “ands”.
Sting also tends to start singing phrases ahead of or behind the instruments, kindof floating around/above the beat.
