Anklebiters lyrics - Paramore

Why do you care what people think?

Are you hooked up to their leash?

You know anklebiters

Ate up your personality.

Try to remember how it felt

To just make up your own steps

And let anklebiters

Chew up, spit out someone else.

Fall in love with yourself.

Because someday you’re gonna be

The only one you’ve got.

Someday you’re gonna be

The only one you’ve got.

Why you wanna please the world

And leave yourself to drop dead?

Someday you’re gonna be

The only one you’ve got.

What do you actually expect?

A broken mirror to reflect?

You know, anklebiters

Gave you a false perception.

And why do I defend

(C'mon, c'mon) your ignorance?

Oh, why do I defend

(C'mon, c'mon) the state you're in?

You should fall in love

With yourself, oh, again.

Fall in love with yourself.

Because someday you’re gonna be

The only one you’ve got.

Someday you’re gonna be

The only one you’ve got.

Why you wanna please the world

And leave yourself to drop dead?

Someday you’re gonna be

The only one you’ve got.

Anklebiters! Anklebiters!

Someday you’re gonna be alone!

Anklebiters! Anklebiters!

Interlude: Holiday lyrics - Paramore

(Mmhmm).

Now I can move on to facing,

Big girl problems,

No more high school drama,

Graduated with honors.

And I'm drinkin' coffee while I,

Read the paper,

I've been savin' money, eatin',

Only top ramen.

Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh.

Now I get a holiday,

Wherever I go I might stay.

I don't plan on coming back,

Ever if I can help it.

Now I get a holiday,

I think I'll stay,

Holiday, think I'll stay.

Now I get a holiday.

Proof lyrics - Paramore

It’s really hard,

I can’t cry in your arms

‘Cause you’re not here

It’s not your fault

And if it was I wouldn’t care.

My heart is bigger

Than the distance

In-between us.

I know it ‘cause I

Feel it beating.

So strong it'll knock you down

So strong, so strong.

Over here,

I can't count the miles away,

From where I wanna be.

I bet your skin is warm

And that you're smiling.

Yeah, that’s what I always

Loved the most about you.

You’re so strong

Come and knock me down, hey.

Baby, if I’m half the man I say I am

(Whoa-oh-oh), if I’m a woman with no fear

Just like I claim I am, (whoa-oh-oh).

Then I believe in what you say

There’s nothing left for you to do

The only proof that I need is you.

I’ll get in my car

Drive it faster than I

Ever did before.

Head out west until I finally

Reach the shore.

And then I’ll swim out

To wherever you are

And we'll ride the undercurrent

Down to the floor.

Making friends with all

The unfamiliar creatures

And pushing back

All the unnecessary pressure.

Come up for air just so you

Know we won’t drown.

You’re so strong

The world can't keep us down, hey!

Baby, if I’m half the man I say I am

(Whoa-oh-oh), if I’m a woman with no fear

Just like I claim I am, (whoa-oh-oh).

Then I believe in what you say

There’s nothing left for you to do

The only proof that I need is you.

Yeah, ooh, yeah, hey

Yeah, ooh, yeah, hey.

So do you love me? (Yeah)

All you gotta do is say yes.

Now do you love me? (Yeah, hey)

And I won’t ever second guess.

Now do you love me? (Yeah)

All you gotta do is say yes.

Now do you love me? (Yeah, hey)

Then you already proved it.

Yeah, yeah, hey.

Baby, if I’m half the man I say I am

(Whoa-oh-oh), if I’m a woman with no fear

Just like I claim I am, (whoa-oh-oh).

Then I believe in what you say

There’s nothing left for you to do

The only proof that I need is.

Baby, if I’m half the man I say I am

(Whoa-oh-oh), if I’m a woman with no fear

Just like I claim I am, (whoa-oh-oh).

Then I believe in what you say

There’s nothing left for you to do

The only proof that I need is you.

Hate To See Your Heart Break lyrics - Paramore

There is not a single word in the whole world

That could describe the hurt

The dullest knife just sawing back and forth

And ripping through the softest skin there ever was

How were you to know?

Oh, how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

Love happens all the time

To people who aren't kind

And heroes who are blind

Expecting perfect scripted movie scenes

Who wants an awkward silent mystery?

How were you to know?

Well, how were you to know-oh-oh?

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

For all the air that's in your lungs

For all the joy that is to come

For all the things that you're alive to feel

Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal

Oh, how were you to know? (How were you to know?)

Oh, how were you to know?

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

And I, I hate to see your heart break

I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close

But I've been there before

(One Of Those) Crazy Girls lyrics - Paramore

Now when you say you wanna slow down,

Does it mean you wanna slow dance?

Maybe you just want a little extra time

To focus on our romance.

What do you mean I got it backwards?

You know we're gonna be forever.

Why are you tellin' me goodbye?

Aren’t you gonna stay the night?

Are we really over now?

Maybe I can change your mind?

Soon as you walk out my door,

I’m gonna call a hundred times.

Now I walk under a pink sky (ooh),

Lovers float along and pass me by.

I pour my heart out to your voice mail,

Let you know I caught a bus

To your side of town.

And now I’m standing at your doorstep

With Los Angeles behind me.

If you don’t answer I’ll just use the key

That I copied 'cause I really need to see you.

If you're not here when I break in,

I’m gonna go to your closet,

Just so I can smell your skin.

As the chemicals swim,

I know I’ll never love again,

I swear I’ll never love again!

Baby, are we over now?

Maybe I can change your mind?

As soon as you walk out my door,

I’m gonna call a hundred times!

I’m not one of those crazy girls,

I’m not one of those crazy girls,

I’m not one of those crazy girls,

I’m not one of those crazy girls.

Hey, baby, are we over now?

Maybe I can change your mind?

As soon as you walk out my door,

I’m gonna call a hundred times!

Baby, are we over now?

Maybe I can change your mind?

Soon as you walk out my door,

I’m gonna call a hundred times!

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.

Now I’m one of those crazy girls,

Now I’m one of those crazy girls,

Now I’m one of those crazy girls,

Now I’m one of those crazy girls.

Interlude: I'm Not Angry Anymore lyrics - Paramore

I'm not angry anymore,

Well, sometimes I am.

I don't think badly of you,

Well, sometimes I do.

It depends on the day,

The extent of all my worthless rage,

I'm not angry anymore.

I'm not bitter anymore,

I'm syrupy sweet.

I rot your teeth down to their core,

If I'm really happy.

Depends on the day,

If I wake up in a giddy haze,

Well, I'm not angry,

I'm not totally angry,

I'm not all that angry anymore.

Be Alone lyrics - Paramore

So what if I don't have,

A lot to talk about?

I shut my mouth and keep it,

Locked until it counts.

And what if I don't ever want,

To leave my house?

Stay on the couch while

All my friends are going out.

(Oh)

You should be alone,

Yeah, you should be alone,

You should be alone with me.

We could be alone,

Yeah, we could be alone,

But never get too lonely.

I'll make the journey down the hall

Back to my room.

And kill more time, and let it rot

Inside its tomb (inside its tomb).

See, I ain't one to climb

Some social ladder too.

Some Shangri-La

That all the cool kids will abuse.

(Oh)

You should be alone,

Yeah, you should be alone,

You should be alone with me.

We could be alone,

Yeah, we could be alone,

But never get too lonely.

(We could be alone together).

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh.

I'm alone, now I'm in love with you alone.

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh,

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.

Come, be alone, and be in love with me alone.

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh.

You should be alone,

Yeah, you should be alone,

You should be alone with me.

We could be alone,

Yeah, we could be alone,

But never get too lonely.

You should be alone,

Yeah, you should be alone,

You should be alone with me.

We could be alone,

Yeah, we could be alone,

But never get too lonely.

Future lyrics - Paramore

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's how you had it, yeah,

Pretty sure.

It is, it's goes clapping a bit.

Something just in that way,

Alright, here we go.

You go up and down this time.

I'm writing the future,

I'm writing it out, loud.

We don't talk about the past,

We don't talk about the past now.

So, I'm writing the future,

I'm leaving a key here.

Something won't always be missing,

You won't always feel emptier.

Ah-ah, mm-mm,

Ah-ah-ah-ah, mm-mm.

Just think of the future,

And think of your dreams.

You'll get away from here,

You'll get away eventually.

So, just think of the future,

Think of a new life.

And don't get lost in the memories,

Keep your eyes on a new prize.

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah,

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah,

Mm.

Native Tongue lyrics - Paramore

How can they say

that it’s one way

when it’s the opposite?

And how can they know

the end of the story

before I tell it?

‘Cause when I walk

your feet, they fall

to the same beat.

Or maybe we’re from two different worlds,

But we got our own language!

We talk to people,

but they never understand!

They think we’re crazy

‘Cause it sounds like noise

When we’re speaking in our native

speaking in our native tongue!

We’re speaking in our native

speaking in our native tongue!

We used to live

like we were strangers

we didn’t know any better!

We didn’t fit

in with the out crowd

so we gave in

and we shut our mouths!

But oh I love your history

and I can take it!

And when you talk in code to me

I can translate it!

We talk to people,

but they never understand!

They think we’re crazy

‘Cause it sounds like noise to them

Ain’t it strange

all the things you hear

when you sit

and listen?

We’re speaking in our native,

speaking in our native tongue!

We’re speaking in our native,

speaking in our native tongue!

We’re speaking in our native,

speaking in our native tongue!

And all this time I've been wasting my breath,

just wasting my words on everyone else!

Now speaking in my native,

speaking in my native tongue!

So come on,

talk it out!

So come on,

Talk it out!

Some come on

and talk talk talk talk talk -

talk it out

(Your voice, it brought me back from the dead, somehow)

so come on and

talk talk talk talk talk

talk it out!

OUT!

OUT!

OUT!

Speaking in our native,

speaking in our native tongue!

We’re speaking in our native,

speaking in our native tongue!

(You know we speak in my native aoohh)

And all this time I've been wasting my breath,

just wasting my words on everyone else!

(You know we speak in my native aoohh)

Now speaking in my native,

speaking in my native tongue!

Escape Route lyrics - Paramore

I've got a life out there somewhere

It's waiting

Lined with palm trees and only new faces

If I could look past the present and get there

Well baby, it's worth a shot

Just enough time to plan an escape route

I put my map on the wall in the basement

Not quite a victory to run from your problems

But it's the only plan that I got

It's the only plan that I got

And if you try to find me now

oooh

oh oh oh! 

I'm in all the echoes that have faded out

So.. I'm moving on

Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong

That's what's going on

That's what's going on

Crossed the state line and called out a warning

Not too long now, I'll breathe california

Paid my dues and I tried to be loyal

But now I'm done with all that

Where I'm going is everyone's story

We want

You left,

We're left

to start over

It's not a question of who are we really

It's who we want to be

And if you try to find me now

oooh

oh oh!

I'm in all the echoes that have faded out

So.. I'm moving on

Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong

And that's what's going on

All that's in between

A brand new life and I this time

But time has not been kind.

It's not been kind to me.

It's winding backwards.

Time has not been kind.

It's crawling by...

So...

Slowly..

And if you try to find me now

Ooooh

oh oh oh!

I'm in all the echoes that have faded out

So.. I'm moving on

Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong

And that's what's going on

And if you try to find me now

Ooooh

oh oh oh

I'm in all the echoes that have faded out

So.. I'm moving on

Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong

And that's what's going on-

Careful lyrics - Paramore

I settled down a twisted up frown

Disguised as a smile, well

You would have never known

I had it all

But, not what I wanted

'cause hope for me was a place uncharted and overgrown

You'd make your way in

I'd resist you just like this

You can't tell me to feel

The truth never set me free

So, I did it myself

You can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out a little more

More

More

More, more

Open your eyes

Like I opened mine

It's only the real world.

A life you will never know

Shifting your weight

To throw off the pain

Well you can ignore it

But only for so long

You look like I did

You resist me just like this

You can't tell me to heal

And it hurts remembering

How it felt to shut down

You can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out a little more

More

More

More, more

The truth never set me free

The truth never set me free

The truth never set me free

So, I'll do it myself

You can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out

Can't be too careful anymore

When all that is waiting for you

Won't come any closer

You've got to reach out

More

More

More

More, more

Ignorance lyrics - Paramore

If I'm a bad person, you don't like me

Well I guess I'll make my own way

It's a circle

A mean cycle

I can't excite you anymore

Where's your gavel? Your jury?

What's my offense this time?

You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me

Well sentence me to another life

Don't wanna hear your sad songs

I don't wanna feel your pain

When you swear it's all my fault

Cause you know we're not the same (no)

We're not the same (no)

Oh we're not the same

Yeah the friends who stuck together

We wrote our names in blood

But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (hey)

It's good (hey)

It's good

Well you treat me just like another stranger

Well it's nice to meet you sir

I guess I'll go

I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well it's nice to meet you sir

I guess I'll go

I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened

Any longer and I wouldn't have made it

It's not a war no, it's not a rapture

I'm just a person but you can't take it

The same tricks that, that once fooled me

They won't get you anywhere

I'm not the same kid from your memory

Well now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs

I don't wanna feel your pain

When you swear it's all my fault

Cause you know we're not the same (no)

We're not the same (no)

Oh we're not the same

Yeah we used to stick together

We wrote our names in blood

But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (hey)

It's good (hey)

It's good

Well you treat me just like another stranger

Well it's nice to meet you sir

I guess I'll go

I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well it's nice to meet you sir

I guess I'll go

I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Ignorance is your new best friend

Well you treat me just like another stranger

Well it's nice to meet you sir

I guess I'll go

I best be on my way out

You treat me just like another stranger

Well it's nice to meet you sir

I guess I'll go

I best be on my way out

Playing God lyrics - Paramore

Can't make my own decisions

Or make any with precision

Well maybe you should tie me up

So I don't go where you don't want me

You say that I've been changing

That I'm not just simply aging

Yeah how could that be logical?

Just keep on cramming ideas down my throat

You don't have to believe me

But the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger

I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger

I'll point you to the mirror

If God's the game that you're playing

Well we must get more acquainted

Because it has to be so lonely

To be the only one who's holy

It's just my humble opinion

But it's one that I believe in

You don't deserve a point of view

If the only thing you see is you

You don't have to believe me

But the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger

I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger

I'll point you to the mirror

This is the last second chance

(I'll point you to the mirror)

I'm half as good as it gets

(I'll point you to the mirror)

I'm on both sides of the fence

(I'll point you to the mirror)

Without a hint of regret

I'll hold you to it

I know you don't believe me

But the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger

I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger

I'll point you to the mirror

I know you won't believe me

But the way I, way I see it

Next time you point a finger

I might have to bend it back

Or break it, break it off

Next time you point a finger

I'll point you to the mirror

Brick By Boring Brick lyrics - Paramore

Well she lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of a world that she's left behind

It's all about the exposure the lens I told her

The angles are all wrong now

She's ripping wings off of butterflies

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Ba da ba ba da ba ba da

So one day he found her crying

Coiled up on the dirty ground

Her prince finally came to save her

And the rest you can figure out

But it was a trick

And the clock struck twelve

Well make sure to build your heart brick by boring brick

Or the wolf's gonna blow it down

Keep your feet on the ground

When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

We'll bury the castle, bury the castle

Oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa

Well you built up a world of magic

Because your real life is tragic

Yeah you built up a world of magic

If it's not real

You can't hold it in your hand

You can't feel it with your heart

And I won't believe it

But if it's true

You can see it with your eyes

Oh, even in the dark

And that's where I want to be, yeah

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

[x2]

Turn It Off lyrics - Paramore

I scraped my knees while I was praying

And found a demon in my safest haven

Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything

Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts

I wanna know what it'd be like

To find perfection in my pride

To see nothing in the light

But turn it off in all my spite, in all my spite

I'll turn it off

And the worst part is, before it gets any better

We're headed for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize that

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

The tragedy, it seems unending

I'm watching everyone I looked up to breaking, bending

We're taking shortcuts and false solutions

Just to come out the hero

Well I can see behind the curtain

The wheels are cranking turning

It's all wrong the way we're working

Towards a goal, that's non-existent, it's non-existent

But we just keep believing

And the worst part is, before it gets any better

We're headed for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

I wanna know what it'd be like

To find perfection in my pride

To see nothing in the light

But turn it off in all my spite, in all my spite

I'll turn it off

Just turn it off

Again

Again, again

And the worst part is, before it gets any better

We're headed for a cliff

And in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom

And the worst part is, before it gets any better

We're headed for a cliff

Then in the free fall I will realize

I'm better off when I hit the bottom
