Paramore - Brand New Eyes Lyrics

Paramore - All I Wanted Lyrics

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well, it's a shame I'm a dream

More Paramore - All I Wanted Lyrics

Paramore - Playing God Lyrics

I 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

More Paramore - Playing God Lyrics

Paramore - The Only Exception Lyrics

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

More Paramore - The Only Exception Lyrics

Paramore - Feeling Sorry Lyrics

We still live in the same town, well, don't we?
But I don't see you around anymore
I go to all the same places, not even a trace of you
Your days are numbered at 24

More Paramore - Feeling Sorry Lyrics

Paramore - Misguided Ghosts Lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4

I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me

More Paramore - Misguided Ghosts Lyrics

Paramore - Turn It Off Lyrics

I scraped my knees when 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

More Paramore - Turn It Off Lyrics

Paramore - Ignorance Lyrics

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

More Paramore - Ignorance Lyrics

Paramore - Careful Lyrics

I settle 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

More Paramore - Careful Lyrics

Paramore - Where The Lines Overlap Lyrics

Give me attention, I need it now
Too much distance to measure it out, out loud
Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures where the lines overlap

More Paramore - Where The Lines Overlap Lyrics

Paramore - Looking Up Lyrics

Things are looking up, oh, finally
I thought I'd never see the day when you smile at me
We always pull through, oh, when we try
I'm always wrong but you're never right

More Paramore - Looking Up Lyrics

Paramore - Brick By Boring Brick Lyrics

Well, she lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
