[Intro]
Hello, hello?
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello?
Just pick up the phone

[Verse 1]
I opened up my life to you
I told you everything I knew
You listened so closely to
You listened so close when love was just a way out
But you're going deaf now
Yeah you turned your head around

[Chorus]
Hello, hello?
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello?
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear
I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear
You're without me now

[Verse 2]
You blew up the world I built for us
Destroyed our secret universe
Threw out the trust I, put in you
Making me feel like I'd been used
And now I'm reminded
That I was just blinded

[Chorus]
Hello, hello?
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello?
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear
I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear
You're without me now

[Verse 3]
I'm doing fine
You'll be alright
Maybe you'll think of me tonight
You're doing fine
And I'll be alright
Just give me time, yeah

[Chorus]
Hello, hello?
Is anyone home?
Hello, hello?
Just pick up the phone
You'll be sorry to hear
I'm doing fine now
Sorry to hear
You're without me now

[Outro]
I'm without you now
I'm without you

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.
