[Verse 1]
Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"

[Chorus 1]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah)

[Verse 2]
Somehow, everything's gonna fall right into place
If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday
If only time flew like a dove
Will God make it fly faster than i'm falling in love?

[Announcement]
You feel us, Chicago?

[Chorus 2]
This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming, "Hallelujah"!
We'll make it last forever

[Verse 3]
Well, I can't force these eyes to see the end
If only time flew like a dove
We could watch it fly and just keep looking up

[Chorus 2]
This time we're not giving up
Let's make it last forever
Screaming, "Hallelujah"!
We'll make it last forever

[Announcement]
Alright!

[Bridge]
We've got time on our hands
And we've got, got nothing but time on our hands
Got nothing but, got nothing but
Got nothing but time on our hands

[Chorus 2]
This time we're not giving up
Oh, let's make it last forever
Screaming, "Hallelujah"!
Hallelujah

[Announcement]
Thank you Chicago!
Good night!

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.
