[Intro]
(Mhh)

[Verse 1]
Now I can move on to facing
Big girl problems
No more high school drama
Graduated with honors
And I'm drinking coffee while I
Read the paper
I've been saving money
Eating only top ramen

[Break]
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]
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

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.
