[Verse 1]
Well I got a lot to say to you
(Yeah, I got a lot to say)
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all

[Pre-Chorus]
(They taped over your mouth)
(Scribbled out the truth with their lies)
Oh it makes no sense at all (You little spies)
(They taped over your mouth)
(Scribbled out the truth with their lies)
Oh it makes no sense at all (You little spies)

[Chorus]
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two of us who's counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than (this)

[Announcement]
Alright I want to see you moving!

[Verse 2]
If you wanna play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let's play
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute

[Pre-Chorus]
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies

[Interlude]
Let's go!
(Crush, crush, crush)
(Crush, crush)
(1, 2, 3, 4)

[Chorus]
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two of us who's counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than this now

[Announcement]
I wanna see some horns, Chicago

[Bridge]
Rock and roll, baby
Don't you know that (we're all alone now?)
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don't you know, baby, we're all alone now?
Give me something to sing about

[Chorus]
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two (of us who's counting on)
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, oh
Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two of us who's counting on
That never happens, I guess I'm dreaming again
More than this, oh

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.
