[Verse 1]
Meet me here beneath the burning skies
Where the ocean comes and takes us from all of our lies
You never said that you were coming back
I have waited although I have found the place you hide

[Interlude]
What keeps you so far away?

[Chorus]
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you're leaving
But I will drown until you care
I will drown until you care

[Verse 2]
I imagine what it must be like
To have everything you need and not be satisfied
Run the water until it burns
And you can't see through the waves that crash into your prey

[Interlude]
What keeps you so far away?

[Chorus]
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you're leaving
But I will drown until you care
I will drown until you care

[Verse 3]
Going under
Getting close to what we cannot recognize
Floating face down in the lies
Here we are without a trace
But the lies we used to blame
And you're so far away

What keeps you so far away?

[Chorus]
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone
I can slowly sink and
Watch you as you're leaving
But I will drown until you care
I will drown until you care

[Outro]
We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone

We can swim in silence
You can pull me under
I will not come up for anyone

(Yeah, whoa, yeah)

I will drown until you care

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.
