[Verse 1]
I've hoped for change, it gets better everyday
I've hoped for change, but still I feel the same

[Pre-Chorus]
There's something wrong, 'cause everybody knows
That we can't do this on our own

[Chorus]
And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh

[Verse 2]
We're doing fine, and it gets better every time
We're doing fine, but I'll let you decide

[Pre-Chorus]
There's something wrong, 'cause everybody knows
That we can do this on our own

[Chorus]
And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh

[Bridge]
And I'll confess that I can be a little selfish
Yeah, I'll admit, I don't want you to help me through this
I don't want to start over again

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
And we got everybody singing
And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh
And we got everybody singing
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa, whoa oh

[Outro]
And I'll confess that I can be a little selfish, I can, I can
Yeah, I'll admit, I don't want you to get me through this
I don't want to start over again...

Paramore

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
