[Verse 1]
Now when you say you want to slow down
Does it mean you want to slow dance?
Maybe you just want a little extra time
To focus on our romance
What do you mean I got it backwards?
You know we're gonna be forever
Why are you telling me goodbye?
Aren’t you gonna stay the night?

[Chorus]
Are we really over now?
Maybe I can change your mind
Soon as you walk out my door
I’m gonna call a hundred times

[Verse 2]
Now I walk under a pink sky (ooh)
Lovers float along and pass me by
I pour my heart out to your voice mail
Let you know I caught a bus to your side of town
And now I’m standing at your doorstep
With Los Angeles behind me
If you don’t answer I’ll just use the key that I copied
Cause I really need to see you

[Bridge]
If you're not here when I break in
I’m gonna go through your closet
Just so I can smell your skin
As the chemicals swim
I know I’ll never love again
I swear I’ll never love again

[Chorus]
Baby are we over now?
Maybe I can change your mind
As soon as you walk out my door
I’m gonna call a hundred times

[Guitar Solo]

[Post-Chorus]
I’m not one of those crazy girls
I’m not one of those crazy girls
I’m not one of those crazy girls
I’m not one of those crazy girls

[Chorus]
Hey baby, are we over now?
Maybe I can change your mind
Soon as you walk out my door
I’m gonna call a hundred times
Baby, are we over now?
Maybe I can change your mind
As soon as you walk out my door
I’m gonna call a hundred times
Baby are we over now?
Maybe I can change your mind
Soon as you walk out my door
I’m gonna call a hundred times

[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Outro]
Now I’m one of those crazy girls
Now I’m one of those crazy girls
Now I’m one of those crazy girls
Now I’m one of those crazy girls

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.
