This Is Why lyrics - Paramore
If you have an opinion
Maybe you should shove it
Or maybe you could scream it
Might be best to keep it
To yourself (To yourself)
To yourself (To yourself)
This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
Better have conviction
'Cause we want crimes of passion
Survival of the fittest
You're either with us or you can keep it
To yourself (To yourself)
To yourself (To yourself)
To yourself, yourself, yourself
To yourself (To yourself)
This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
One step beyond your door
It might as well have been a free fall
One step beyond your door
Falling down an endless hall
One step beyond your door
Might as well have been a free fall
One step beyond your door
And I'm floating like a cannonball
This is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
Ah, ah, this is why
I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear
But oh, no, you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
The News lyrics - Paramore
War
A war
A war
On the far side
On the other side of the planet
And I've got
War
A war
A war
Right behind my eyes
Right behind 'em just like a headache
So I turn on the news
Turn off the news
Every second our collective heart breaks
All together every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off, the news
Every second our collective heart breaks
All together every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off, the news
Far
I'm far
So far
From a front line
Quite the opposite I'm safe inside
But I worry and I give money
And I feel useless behind this computer
And that's just barely scratched the surface of my mind
So I turn on the news
Turn off the news
Turn on the news
Turn off the news
Every second our collective heart breaks
All together every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off, the news
Every second our collective heart breaks
All together every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off, the news
Exploitative
Performative
Informative
And we don't know the half of it
Rhetorical
Deplorable
Historical
And all along we called it normal
Exploitative
Performative
Informative
And we don't know the half of it
Rhetorical
Deplorable
Historical
And all along we call it normal
All along we call it normal
Every second our collective heart breaks
All together every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off, the news
Every second our collective heart breaks
All together every single head shakes
Shut your eyes, but it won't go away
Turn on, turn off, the news
Running Out Of Time lyrics - Paramore
Said I was gonna take some flowers to my neighbor, but I
Ran out of time
Didn't wanna show up to the party empty-handed, but I
Ran out of time
Said I'd walk the dog a little further than the driveway tonight
The extra mile
Thought I'd send a card with my condolences, but, damn, I
Just ran out of time
Intentions only get you so far
What if I'm just a selfish prick? No regard
I, I'm always running out of time
I'm always running out of time
Never mind, I hit the snooze on my alarm twenty times
But I was just so tired
There was traffic, spilled my coffee, crashed my car, otherwise
Woulda been here on time
Shoulda, coulda, wouldn't matter, ultimate alibi
You know it's a lie
There was a fire (Metaphorically)
Be there in five (Hyperbolically)
Intentions only get you so far (It was on my list, I swear I meant to get to it)
A harsh reality to discover
I, I'm always running out of time
She's always running out of time
I'm always running out of time
Why we gotta be in a rush?
My watch is just for decoration (Mm)
Look, I showed up early for once
Now that's a new sensation (Mm)
We're always running out of time
She's always running out of time
I'm always running out of time
I'm always running out of time
She's always running out of time, out of time
I'm always running out of time
C'est Comme Ça lyrics - Paramore
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
In a single year, I've aged one hundred
My social life, a chiropractic appointment
Sit still long enough to listen to yourself
Or maybe just long enough for you to atrophy to hell
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I'm off caffeine on doctor's orders
Said it was gonna help to level out my hormones
Lucky for me, I run on spite and sweet revenge
It's my dependence on the friction that really hinders my progression
I know that regression is rarely rewarded
I still need a certain degree of disorder
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
I know that regression is rarely rewarded
I still need a certain degree of disorder
I hate to admit getting better is boring
But the high cost of chaos, who can afford it?
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
C'est comme ça, c'est comme ça, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Big Man, Little Dignity lyrics - Paramore
Don't mean to stare at you from across the room
It's like I'm glued to the sheer sight of you
And you're so smooth, it's pitiful
Know you could get away with anything
So that's exactly what you do
Big man, little dignity (Ooh-ooh)
Big man, little dignity (Ooh-ooh)
No offense but you
You got no integrity
Big man (Ooh)
Ooh, la-la-la little dignity
Well-well-well-well look at you
Don't you clean up nice?
Bet it feels good to leave the past behind
Your subscription to redemption has been renewed
You keep your head high
Smooth operator in a shit-stained suit
Big man, little dignity (Ooh-ooh)
Big man, little dignity (Ooh-ooh)
No offense but you
You got no integrity
Big man (Ooh)
Ooh, la-la-la little dignity
Oh, I can't look away
I memorized all your lies
I can't look away, you're like a movie that I love to hate
I fantasize your demise
I should look away because I know you're never gonna change
I keep thinking
This time the end will be different
But it isn't
I keep thinking (Keep thinking)
The end is gonna be different
But you keep on winning
Big man, little dignity (Ooh-ooh)
Big man, little dignity (Ooh-ooh)
No offense, but you
You got no integrity
Big man (Ooh)
Ooh, la-la-la little dignity
You First lyrics - Paramore
Living well is not my kind of revenge
You should take it from me
Living well is just a privilege
Thought I'd simmer down as I got older
Can't shake the devil sitting on my shoulder
Who invited you?
Just like a stray animal
I keep feeding scraps
I give it my energy
And it keeps on coming back
Just like a stray animal
I keep feeding scraps
I give it my energy
And it keeps on coming
Everyone is a bad guy
And there's no way, no way to know who's the worst
Karma's gonna come for all of us
And I hope, I hope, I just hope, she comes, comes for you first, oh
Which wolf wins?
I guess it really depends
Just gotta wait and see
Which one's appetite's the biggest
Turns out I'm living in a horror film
Where I'm both the killer and the final girl
So who, who are you?
Just like a stray animal
I keep feeding scraps
I give it my energy
And it keeps on coming back
Just like a stray animal
I keep feeding scraps
I give it my energy
And it keeps on coming
Everyone is a bad guy
And there's no way, no way to know who's the worst
Karma's gonna come for all of us
And I hope, I hope, I just hope, she comes, comes for you first, oh
Never said I wasn't petty
Never said I wasn't petty
I never said I wasn't petty
You can bet I don't regret it for a second
It's a pleasure, it's a reckoning
Never said I wasn't petty
I'll do better when you're better
Let me revel in your defeat
Everyone is a bad guy
And there's no way, no way to know who's the worst
Karma's gonna come for all of us
And I hope, I hope, I just hope, she comes, comes for you first, oh
Figure 8 lyrics - Paramore
Drained me dry
Down to the last drop
Pearls before swine
All flowers die
Tapped the last good vein
Don't know how to shut it off
Yeah, once you get me going
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Once you get me going
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to
All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure 8
I
Won't miss the feeling
My flimsy spine
Unsuspicious mind
I was only being kind
But you mistook me for weak
And once I get going
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to stop
Going
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to
All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure 8
Candle light
Candle light
Burning 'til broad daylight
Candle light
Candle light
Burning at both ends tonight
How could I?
How could I?
If I'm made of thin ice
How could I?
How could I?
You'd be wise if you thought twice
All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure
What remains?
And now I think I'm losing my shape
Not a trace
No end and no beginning, figure 8
Liar lyrics - Paramore
What was the moment? It's hard to say
I'm sure I don't remember anyway
Before I only knew to hesitate
Pin back in the grenade
And all the ways I'd keep you safe
I keep you safe
From me
And, oh my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth
I got too good at fighting chemicals
And dodging arrows I was asking for
Wading through the fog, and then it disappeared
Naked when I'm here
And why should I deny what's all at once so crystal clear?
(And why should I deny what's all at once so crystal clear?)
And, oh my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth
Love is not an easy thing to admit
But I'm not ashamed of it
Love is not a weakening
If you feel it rushing in
Don't be ashamed of it
Love is not an easy thing to admit
But I'm not ashamed of it
Love is not a weakening
If you feel it rushing in
Don't be ashamed of it
And, oh my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth
And, oh my love, I lied to you
But I never needed to
Oh my love, I lied to you
But you always knew the truth
Crave lyrics - Paramore
I can't wait to memorize this day
Oh, a picture could not contain
The way it feels
You say, "Live in the present."
I'm already dreaming of how it begins
And trying to savor the moment
But I know the feeling will come to an end
So I
Crave
Crave to do it again
All again
Crave
Crave to do it again, I
Just for a second it all felt simple
I'm already missing it
So I
Crave
Crave to do it again
All again
I romanticize even the worst of times
When all it took to make me cry
Was being alive
Look up and see a reflection of someone who never gave way to the pain
What if I told 'em, now that I'm older, there isn't a moment that I'd wanna change
Now I
Crave
Crave to do it again
All again
Crave
Crave to do it again, I
Just for a second it all felt simple
I'm already missing it
So I crave
Crave to do it again
All again
Any second
Feel the present
Future and the past
Connecting
Any second
Feel the present
Future and the past
Connecting
Crave
Crave, to do it again (Do it)
All again
Crave
Crave to do it again, I
Just for a second it all felt simple
I'm already missing it
So I crave
Crave to do it again
All again
Thick Skull lyrics - Paramore
I am a magnet for broken pieces
I am attracted to broken people
I pick 'em up, and now my fingers are bleeding
And it looks like my fault
And it looks like I'm caught
Red-handed
Hit over the head
Epiphany
Over my head
Repeatedly
Thick skull never did
Nothing for me
Same lesson again?
Come on, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Only I know where all the bodies are buried
Thought by now I'd find 'em just a little less scary
Might get easier, but you don't get used to it
Keep on autopilot, mmm
Hey, hey
What's the body count up to now, captain?
Hit over the head
Epiphany
Over my head
Repeatedly
Thick skull never did
Nothing for me
Same lesson again?
C'mon, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
Come on out with your hands up
Come on out with your hands up
I'm coming out with my hands up, mmm
Come on out with your hands up
Hit over the head
Epiphany
Over my head
Repeatedly
Thick skull never did
Nothing for me
Same lesson again?
C'mon, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me
I pick 'em up and now my fingers are bleeding
And it looks like I'm caught
Red-handed
Hard Times lyrics - Paramore
All that I want
Is to wake up fine
Tell me that I'm alright
That I ain't gonna die
All that I want
Is a hole in the ground
You can tell me when it's alright
For me to come out
Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives
And I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times
Hard times
And I gotta get to rock bottom
Walking around
With my little rain cloud
Hanging over my head
And it ain't coming down
Where do I go?
Gimme some sort of sign
You hit me with lightning!
Maybe I'll come alive
Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives
And I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times
Hard times
And I gotta hit rock bottom
Tell my friends I'm coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
Tell my friends I'm coming down
We'll kick it when I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
When I hit the ground
Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives
And I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times (hard times)
Hard times (hard times)
Hard times
Gonna make you wonder why you even try
Hard times
Gonna take you down and laugh when you cry
These lives
And I still don't know how I even survive
Hard times (hard times)
Hard times
(Makes you wonder why you even try
Makes you wonder why you even try
Makes you wonder why you even try
Makes you wonder sometimes)
(Still don't know how I even survive
Still don't know how I even survive
Still don't know how I even survive
Still don't know how I survive)
And I gotta get to rock bottom
Rose-Colored Boy lyrics - Paramore
Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather
Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather
Rose-colored boy
I hear you making all that noise
About the world you want to see
And oh, I'm so annoyed
'Cause I just killed off what was left of the optimist in me
Hearts are breaking, wars are raging on
And I have taken my glasses off
You got me nervous
I'm right at the end of my rope
A half-empty girl
Don't make me laugh, I'll choke
Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
Hey man, we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy
Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather
And I want you to stop insisting that I'm not a lost cause
'Cause I've been through a lot
Really all I've got is just to stay pissed off
If it's alright by you
But hearts are breaking, and wars are raging on
And I have taken my glasses off
You got me nervous
When you're turning it into a joke
A half-empty girl
Don't make me laugh, I'll...
Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
Hey, man, we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy
Leave me here a little bit longer
I think I wanna stay in the car
I don't want anybody seeing me cry now
You say "We gotta look on the bright side"
I say "Well maybe if you wanna go blind"
You say my eyes are getting too dark now
But boy, you ain't ever seen my mind
Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
Hey, man, we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy
Just let me cry a little bit longer
I ain't gon' smile if I don't want to
I know we all can't be like you
I wish we were all rose-colored too
My rose-colored boy
Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather
Low-key, no pressure, just hang with me and my weather
Told You So lyrics - Paramore
For all I know
The best is over and the worst is yet to come
Is it enough?
To keep on hoping when the rest have given up?
And they go
I hate to say I told you so
But they love to say they told me so
I hate to say I told you so
But they love to say they told me
Say they say they told me
Say they say they told me
You say, you say you told me
I know you like
When I admit that I was wrong and you were right
At least I try
To keep my cool when I am thrown into a fire
And they go
I hate to say I told you so
But they love to say they told me so
I hate to say I told you so
But they love to say they told me
Say they say they told me
Say they say they told me
You say, you say you told me
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
I hate to say I told you so
But they love to say they told me so
I hate to say I told you so
But they love to say they told me
(Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again)
Say they say they told me
(Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again)
Say they say they told me
(Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again)
You say, you say you told me
Say they told me, say they told me, told you so
Forgiveness lyrics - Paramore
You hurt me bad this time, no coming back
And I cried till I couldn't cry, another heart attack
If I lay on the floor, maybe I'll wake up
And I don't pick up when you call
'Cause your voice is a gun
Every word is a bullet hole
Shot a hole in the sun
If I never look up maybe I'll never notice
And you, you want forgiveness
But I, I just can't do it yet
There's still a thread that runs from your body to mine
And you can't break what you don't see, an invisible line
If I follow it down will we just be alright?
But it could take me all your life to learn to love
How I thought I could love someone
I haven't even begun
If it's all up to us we might as well give up
And you, you want forgiveness
(I can barely hang on to myself)
But I, I can't give you that
(I can't give you, I can't give you that)
And you, you want forgiveness
(I'm afraid that I'll have nothing left)
But I, I just can't do it yet
(I can't do, I just can't do it yet)
Don't you go and get it twisted
Forgiving is not forgetting
Don't you go and get it twisted
Forgiving is not forgetting
No, it's not forgetting
No, I'll never forget it, no
And you, you want forgiveness
(I can barely hang on to myself)
But I, I can't give you that
(I can't give you, I can't give you that)
And you, you want forgiveness
(I'm afraid that I'll have nothing left)
But I, I just can't do it yet
(I can't do, I just can't do it yet)
Fake Happy lyrics - Paramore
I love making you believe
What you get is what you see
But I'm so fake happy
I feel so fake happy
And I bet everybody here
Is just as insincere
We're all so fake happy
And I know fake happy
So I've been doing a good job of makin' 'em think
I'm quite alright, better hope I don't blink
You see it's easy when I'm stomping on a beat
But no one sees me when I crawl back underneath
If I smile with my teeth
Bet you believe me
If I smile with my teeth
I think I believe me
Oh please don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh what's the use
Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
And if I go out tonight, dress up my fears
You think I look alright with these mascara tears?
See I'm gonna draw up my lipstick wider than my mouth
And if the lights are low they'll never see me frown
If I smile with my teeth
Bet you believe me
If I smile with my teeth
I think I believe me
Oh please don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh oh what's the use?
Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
I know I said that I was doing good and that I'm happy now
I should've known when things were going good that's when I'd get knocked down
Oh please, just don't ask me how I've been
Don't make me play pretend
Oh no, oh no, oh what's the use?
Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
(Oh please)
(Oh please)
Oh please, I bet everybody here is fake happy too
(Carlos...)
26 lyrics - Paramore
Man, you really know how to get someone down
Everything was fine until you came around
I've been chasing after dreamers in the clouds
After all wasn't I the one who said
To keep your feet on the ground?
Man, you really brought me back down
Hold on to hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
They say that dreaming is free
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
You got me tied up but I stay close to the window
And I talk to myself about the places that I used to go
I'm hoping someday maybe I'll just float away
And I'll forget every cynical thing you say
When you gonna hear me out
Man, you really bring me down
Hold on to hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
They say that dreaming is free
But I wouldn't care what it cost me
Reality will break your heart
Survival will not be the hardest part
It's keeping all your hopes alive
When all the rest of you has died
So let it break your heart
And hold on to hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
Hold on to hope if you got it
Don't let it go for nobody
They say that dreaming is free
I wouldn't care what it cost me
Pool lyrics - Paramore
As if the first cut wasn't deep enough
I dove in again cause I'm not into giving up
Coulda got the same rush from any lover's touch
But why get used to something new
'Cause no one breaks my heart like you
When you kiss me I wish we could see what happens next
For a moment I could forget what happens in my head
If I doubt you will you come through, happy second chance
Or happy ending
This time you don't leave me sinking
I'm under water
No air in my lungs
My eyes are open
And I'm giving up
You are the wave
I could never tame
If I survive I'll dive back in
As if the first blood didn't thrill enough
I went further out to see what else was left of us
Never found the deep end of our little ocean
Drain the fantasy of you headfirst into shallow pools
And I wonder is it better to get it over with
The illusion can shatter before we begin
If you're really sorry, happy second chance
I think I could forgive
This time you won't leave me sinking
I'm under water
No air in my lungs
My eyes are open
And I'm giving up
You are the wave
I could never tame
If I survive I'll dive back in
Dive back into
Right back into
Dive right back into you
Now I know you
Now I know you
Now that I know you
Dive right back into you
Back into
Right back into you
Dive right back into you
Now I know you
Now I know you
Now that I know you
Dive right back into you
I'm under water
No air in my lungs
My eyes are open
And I'm giving up
You are the wave
I could never tame
If I survive I'll dive back in
I'm under water
No air in my lungs
My eyes are open
And I'm giving up
You are the wave
I could never tame
If I survive I'll dive back in
I'll dive back in
I'll dive back
Grudges lyrics - Paramore
Strange how we found ourselves exactly where we left off
I know you're shaking my hand like it is the first time
Are we alright?
Are you recounting all my faults?
And are you racking your brain just to find them all?
Could it be that I've changed or did you?
Stop asking why
Why we had to waste so much time
Well, we just pick up, pick up and start again
'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges
Time is a bastard I won't break my neck to get around it
But aren't we so brave to give up a fight
And let the years go by without us
'Cause now I feel you by my side
And I don't even care if it's been a while
I can feel that we've changed and we're better this way
Stop asking why
Why we had to waste so much time
Well, we just pick up, pick up and start again
'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges
And if you wanna call me up or come over
Come on, we'll laugh 'till we cry
Like we did when we were kids
'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges
Why did it take so long?
Why did it take so long?
Why did it take us so long to just let it go?
Why did it take us so long to stop holding on?
Stop asking why
Why we had to waste so much time
Well, we just pick up, pick up and start again
'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges
And if you wanna call me up or come over
Come on we'll laugh till we cry
Like we did when we were kids
'Cause we can't keep holding on to grudges
We can't keep holding on to grudges
Could it be that I've changed
Could it be that I've changed
Could it be that I've changed
Could it be that I've changed or did you?
Caught In The Middle lyrics - Paramore
I can't think of getting old
It only makes me want to die
And I can't think of who I was
'Cause it just makes me want to cry, cry, cry, cry
Can't look back, can't look too far ahead
I got the point, I got the message
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Yeah I'm caught in the middle
I was dreaming life away
All the while just going blind
Can't see the forest for the trees
Behind the lids of my own eyes
Nostalgia's cool, but it won't help you now
A dream is good, if you don't wear it out
And I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Yeah I'm caught in the middle
No, I don't need no help
I can sabotage me by myself
Don't need no one else
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no help
I can sabotage me by myself
Don't need no one else
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no help (all the glory days are gone)
I can sabotage me by myself
Don't need no one else (it's over now I'm on my own)
I can sabotage me by myself
I don't need no help (all the glory days are gone)
I can sabotage me by myself
Don't need no one else (it's over now I'm on my own)
I can sabotage me by myself
And I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
I try to keep going but it's not that simple
I think I'm a little bit caught in the middle
Gotta keep going or they'll call me a quitter
Yeah I'm caught in the middle
I'm caught in the middle
Idle Worship lyrics - Paramore
Standing here like I'm supposed to say something
Don't hold your breath, I never said I'd save you, honey
And I don't want your money
If I was you I'd run from me or rip me open
You'll see you're not the only one who's hopeless
Be sure to put your faith in something more
I'm just a girl and you're not as alone as you feel
We all got problems, don't we?
We all need heroes, don't we?
But rest assured there's not a single person here who's worthy
Don't let me let you down
Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping
But I'm gonna be the one to let you down
Oh, it's such a long and awful lonely fall
Down from this pedestal that you keep putting me on
What if I fall on my face?
What if I make a mistake?
If it's okay a little grace would be appreciated
Remember how we used to like ourselves?
What little light that's left, we need to keep it sacred
I know that you're afraid to let all the dark escape you
But we could let the light illuminate these hopeless places
Just let me let you down
Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping
But I'm gonna be the one to let you down
Oh, no, I ain't your hero
You're wasting all your faith on me
Oh, no, I know where this goes
Think it's safe to say your savior doesn't look a thing like me
Don't let me let you down
Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping
But I'm gonna be the one to let you down
Hey, baby I'm not your superhuman
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping
But I'm gonna be the one to let you down
No Friend lyrics - Paramore (feat. Aaron Weiss)
I found these old letters from years ago
I felt it was fitting to continue this correspondence
Can't help I'm sentimental
Thanks for talking with me today
Hope this is helpful for you
I also hope Birdie is happy and healthy
And staying out of trouble to a reasonable extent
What I wrote was sort of my way
Of finally being able to address how it feels
Another brick-red room, another black-top town
Another misspelled band burning their own houses down
Another pine-box tune to fill the cemetery day
Another star, a touch of orange over purgatory gray
Another thorny field to scatter fruitless seed
Another song that runs too long, God knows no one needs
More misguided ghosts, more transparent hands
To drop a nickel in our basket and we'll do our riot!
Dance beneath another burning sky, behind our painted lips
In scores of catatonic smile-covered ankle-bitten ships
So throw your pedestal of stone in the forgetful sea
As protection from the paper-thin perfection you project on me
When this repetition ends behind the window shades
A semi-conscious sorrow sleeping in the bed I've made
That most unrestful bed, that most original of sins
And you'll say that's what I get when I let ambition win again
I'd hate to let you down, so I'll let the waters rise
And drown my dull reflection in the naïve expectation in your eyes
Back in a cast bit-part, back when I felt most free
I had a butcher's heart and no one thought they knew me
So before the regiment resumes, before the dreaded sun appears
My driver's waiting, so let's make one point crystal clear:
You see a flood-lit form, I see a shirt design
I'm no savior of yours, and you're no friend of mine
You're no friend of mine, you're no friend of mine
I'm no savior of yours, and you're no friend of mine
You see a flood-lit form, I see a shirt design
I'm no savior of yours, and you're no friend of mine
It's kind of hard to see myself in the reflection of people's eyes
Realizing what they see may not be even close to the image I see in myself
And I hate I might actually be more afraid
To let my own self down than anything else
I feel like the man in the story
Who saw a bear floating in the river and thought it was a fur coat
Twelve years ago I stood on the shore
Jumped in and grabbed the coat
And the river is rushing toward a waterfall
And my friend stood at the shore and shouted to let go of the coat and swim back to land
I let go of the coat but the coat won't let go of me
In any case please let me know if there's more I can give you
If nothing comes of it, then just know we are grateful
Tell Me How lyrics - Paramore
I can't call you a stranger
But I can't call you
I know you think that I erased you
You may hate me, but I can't hate you
And I won't replace you
Tell me how to feel about you now
Tell me how to feel about you now
Oh oh oh oh, let me know
Do I suffocate or let go?
Think I'm tired of getting over it
And just starting something new again
I'm getting sick of the beginnings
And always coming to your defenses
I guess it's good to get it off my chest
I guess I can't believe I haven't yet
You know I got my own convictions
And they're stronger than any addiction
But no one's winning
Tell me how to feel about you now
Tell me how to feel about you now
Oh oh oh oh, let me know
Do I suffocate or let go?
Tell me how to feel about you now
Tell me how to feel about you now
Oh oh oh oh, let me know
Do I suffocate or let go?
Keep me up with your silence
Take me down with your quiet
Of all the weapons you fight with
Your silence is the most violent
Tell me how to feel about you now
Tell me how to feel about you now
Oh oh oh oh, let me know
Do I suffocate or let go?
Tell me how to feel about you now
Tell me how to feel about you now
Oh oh oh oh, let me know
Do I suffocate or let go?
You don't have to tell me
If you ever think of me
I know you see me dancing
Wildly in the fog of your memory
You don't have to tell me
I can still believe
Brand New Eyes Tour Intro lyrics - Paramore
(Live)
So your father told you once
That you were his princess
You don't see the castle
And you cannot find your prince
And now you've grown a lot
And your dresses don't fit right
Your daddy's not a hero
He stole your chariot
So here you are in pieces
Trying to prove to us it's real
The softness of your smile
And the lies you want to feel
The scales beneath your skin
Are showing off today
There's evil in your heart
And it wants out to play
There's evil in your heart
And it wants out to play
There's evil in your heart
And I made a home here for me
Don't burn it down with your fantasies
And I made a home here for me
Don't burn it down with your fantasies
Evil In Your Heart lyrics - Paramore
So your father told you once
That you were his princess
But you won't see the castle
You cannot find your prince
And now you've grown a lot
And your dresses don't fit right
Your daddy's not a hero
He stole your chariot
So here you are in pieces
Trying to prove to us it's real
The softness of your smile
And the lies you want to feel
The scales beneath your skin
Are showing off today
There's evil in your heart
And it wants out to play
There's evil in your heart
And it wants out to play
There's evil in your heart
And I made a home here for me
Don't burn it down with your fantasies
And I made a home here for me
Don't burn it down with your fantasies
Grey Area (Note To Self) lyrics - Paramore
Good and also evil
Kind and also careful
Hurt and also healing
Empathy and also not my problem
Bad men and also lovely ones
Vulnerable and also fuck off
Vengeance and also forgiveness
Stay home and also see the world
Big smile and also depression
Distance and also closer than ever
Intimacy and also no one will ever truly know me
Straight and also spectrum
Newborn and also ancient wisdom
Neons and also neutrons
Hope and also dystopia
Acceptance and also rage
God and also nothing
Everywhere and also right here
True love and also loneliness
Believing and also seeing
Dreams of the future and also painstakingly present
Better and also enough
Enough
Enough
One, two, one, two, three, four
Passionfruit lyrics - Paramore
(originally by Drake)
Listen, seeing you got ritualistic
I'm cleansin' my soul of addiction for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
A tension
Between us just like picket fences
Well, you got issues that I won't mention for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on for my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no, no, no
Listen harder buildin' trust from a distance
Well, I think we should rule out commitment for now
'Cause we're fallin' apart
Leavin', you're just doing that to get even
Don't pick up the pieces, just leave it for now
They keep fallin' apart (Ah, ah)
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no, no, no
Passionate from miles away
Passive with the things you say
Passin' up on my old ways
I can't blame you, no, no, no, no
I got my eyes on you
You act so different around me
I think there's something
I think there's something, baby
Oh Father (Outro) lyrics - Paramore
Oh father
Oh father
Oh father
Oh father! [or "My Jesus!"]
Father, well I'm ready
Won't you let it begin?
'Cause I'm here now
I want to dance in the mighty palm of your hand

Fast In My Car lyrics - Paramore
Been through the wringer a couple times
I came out callous and cruel
And my two friends know this very well
Because they went through it too
The three of us were initiates
We had to learn how to deal
And when we spotted a second chance
We had to learn how to steal
Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give us a break
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh
Tonight we want to have fun
No one's the same as they used to be
Much as we try to pretend
No one's as innocent as could be
We all fall short, we all sin
But now we aren't looking backward
We won't try raising the dead
We only see what's in front of us
We only see straight ahead
Hollowed out and filled up with hate
All we want is you to give us a break
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh
Tonight we want to have fun
[Instrumental]
Get in my car and we'll drive around
We'll make believe we are free
Already proved we can tough it out
And we get along so sweetly
We're driving fast in my car
We've got our riot gear on but we just want to have fun
No we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh
Tonight we want to have fun
We're driving fast in my car
We're driving fast in my car
No we're not looking for violence, no oh oh oh
We're driving fast in my car
And we just want to have fun
Now lyrics - Paramore
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Feels like I'm waking from the dead
And everyone's been waitin' on me
'Least now I'll never have to wonder
What it's like to sleep a year away
But were we indestructible
I thought that we could brave it all (all)
I never thought that what would take me out
Was hiding down below
Lost the battle, win the war
I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
We're starting over, we'll head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Don't try to take this from me
Don't try to take this from me
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Wish I could find a crystal ball
For the days I feel completely worthless
You know I'd use it all for good
I would not take it for granted (granted)
Instead, I have some memories
For the days I don't feel anything
At least they will remember
Not to make the same mistakes again
Lost the battle, win the war
I'm bringing my sinking ship back to the shore
We're starting over, we'll head back in
There's a time and a place to die but this ain't it
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
And this ain't it
There's a time and a place to die
And this ain't it, this ain't it
This ain't it
There's a time and a place to die
There's a time and a place to die
But this ain't it, no
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
If there's a future, we want it now
(Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow)
If there's a future, we want it
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Now-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow
Grow Up lyrics - Paramore
I told 'em all where to stick it
I left town with a dime to my name
I said, I'm done with all of my fake friends
Self-righteous pawns in a losing game
Got my band and a light that won't go out
Been burning since the day I was born
So I cried just a little then I'll dry my eyes
Cause I'm not a little girl no more
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Stood in line for so long just to picket
Something I will never understand
Aren't you tired of always being mad at the world?
Won't you just admit you don't care?
And lady, I don't want your pity
So don't feel sad for me
I got a love I would die for and a song to sing
Maybe we're both just living out our dream
And some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
We get along for the most part
Me and reality, the light and the dark
We live alone, two different worlds
Me in a fantasy, you in your memories
But we get along
We get along
(For the most part)
We get along
(yeah, for the most part)
We get along
(For the most part)
We get along
(For the most part)
We get along
We get along
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind (leave you behind)
Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up and evolve)
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Some of us have to grow up sometimes (we grow up and evolve)
And so, if I have to I'm gonna leave you behind
Daydreaming lyrics - Paramore
Living in a city of sleepless people
Who all know the limits and won't go too far outside the lines
Cause they're' out of their minds.
I wanna get out and build my own home
On a street where reality is not much different from dreams I've had
A dream is all I have...
Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming
Daydreaming into the night
And I'm alright
Creep past the hours like the shorter hand on the clock
Hanging on a wall of a schoolhouse somewhere
We wait for the bell
And we dream of somewhere else
Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming
Daydreaming into the night
And I'm alright
Not that I won't remember where I'm from
Just don't wanna be here no more
It's not enough
(We're only half alive)
I'm gonna go
(We're only half alive)
Where the rest of the dreamers go
Where the dreamers go
Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreaming
Daydreaming into the night
And I'm alright
Daydreaming
Daydreaming all the time
Daydreamer
We used to be half alive
Now I'm alright
Interlude: Moving On lyrics - Paramore
Let 'em have their time
Sit back and let 'em shine
Let 'em rise and rise
Cause one day they're gonna fall
Let 'em soak in the sun
Sit back and let 'em have their fun
Let 'em spill their guts
Cause one day they're gonna slip on 'em
Well I could be angry
But you're not worth the fight
And besides I'm moving on
I've counted to ten
And I'm feeling alright
And besides I'm moving on
Let 'em play their songs
Let 'em say what's right and wrong
Let 'em do their thing
Cause they'll never be you and me
We got our own style
We got a way of livin' life
If they can't get down
Well we don't need them around
Well I could be angry
But you're not worth the fight
And besides I'm moving on
I've counted to ten
And I'm feeling alright
And besides I'm moving
Yes I'm moving
Besides I'm moving on
Ain't It Fun lyrics - Paramore
I don't mind letting you down easy
But just give it time
If it don't hurt now then just wait, just wait a while
You're not the big fish in the pond no more
You are what they're feeding on
So what are you gonna do when the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do when the world don't orbit around you?
Ain't it fun living in the real world
Ain't it good being all alone
Where you're from
You might be the one who's running things
Well you can ring anybody's bell to get what you want
See it's easy to ignore trouble
When you're living in a bubble
So what are you gonna do when the world don't orbit around you?
So what are you gonna do when nobody wants to fool with you?
Ain't it fun living in the real world
Ain't it good being all alone
Ain't it good to be on your own
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one
Ain't it good to be on your own
Ain't it fun you can't count on no one
Ain't it fun living in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
Ain't it fun
Ain't it fun
Baby, now you're one of us
Ain't it fun
Ain't it fun
Ain't it fun
Ain't it fun living in the real world
Ain't it good, ain't it good being all alone
Ain't it fun living in the real world
(Cause the world don't orbit around you)
Ain't it good, ain't it good being all alone (oh)
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
(Down to your mama)
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
(Don't go crying to your mama)
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
(Oh, this is the real world)
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
(Don't go crying to your mama)
This is the real world
This is the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
Don't go crying to your mama cause you're on your own in the real world
