Producer: Paramore Rob Cavallo

[Verse 1]
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
Oh, you're never right!

[Chorus]
Honestly, can you believe
We crossed the world while it's asleep
I'd never trade it in, 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore
No, it's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

[Verse 2]
Could have given up so easily
I was a few cheap shots away from the end of me
Taken for granted, almost everything that I would have died for
Just yesterday
Just yesterday

[Chorus]
Honestly, can you believe
We crossed the world while it's asleep
I'd never trade it in, 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore
No, it's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

[Verse 3]
God knows the world doesn't need another band
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
But what a waste it would've been
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
We're just getting started
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
Honestly, can you believe
We crossed the world while it's asleep
I'd never trade it in, 'cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore
No, it's not a dream anymore
No, it's not a dream anymore
No, it's not a dream anymore
It's worth fighting for

[Outro]
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
We're just getting started
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
I can't believe we almost hung it up
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
We're just getting started
Yeah, we're just getting started

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.
