[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And if you try to find me now
(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
That's what's going on

[Verse 2]
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 new lives, we love to start over
It's not a question of who are we really
It's who we want to be

[Chorus]
And if you try to find me now
(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

[Bridge]
All that's in between
A brand new life and I is 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

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you try to find me now
(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
(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

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.
