[Verse 1]
Let 'em have their time
Sit back and let 'em shine
Let 'em rise and rise
Cause one day they're going to fall
Let 'em soak in the sun
Sit back and let 'em have their fun
Let 'em spill their guts
Cause one day they're going to slip on 'em

[Chorus]
Well I could be angry but you're not worth the fight
And besides I'm moving on
I've counted to ten and now I'm feeling alright
And besides I'm moving on

[Verse 2]
Let 'em play their songs
Let 'em say what's right and wrong
Let 'em do their thing
Cause that will never be you and me
We've got our own style
We've got a way of living life
If they can't get down
Well we don't need them around

[Chorus]
Well I could be angry but you’re not worth the fight
And besides I’m moving on
I've counted to ten and now I’m feeling alright
And besides I’m moving
Yes I’m moving
Besides I’m moving 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.
