[Intro]
"When It Rains!"

[Verse 1]
And when it rains on this side of town
It touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole (Blackest hole)
And convinced yourself
That it's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore

[Chorus]
And oh oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
No, oh, I need an ending
So, why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

[Verse 2]
And when it rains, you always find an escape
Just running away from all of the ones who love you
From everything

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You made yourself a bed at the bottom of the blackest hole (Blackest hole)
And you'll sleep till May
And you'll say that you don't wanna see the sun anymore

[Chorus]
And oh oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
No, oh, I need an ending
So, why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

[Bridge]
Explain your side, take my time
We'll take these chances to turn it around
Let's take these chances, we'll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around
Just turn it around

[Breakdown]
No, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming

[Chorus]
And oh oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
No, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh I, I never saw it coming

[Outro]
You can take your time, and take my time

[Announcement]
Thank you
Hey, so uh, this next song
If you've seen videos online you've heard me talk about it
We weren't originally going to put it in the setlist
But because of a few of our friends on the Live Journal Community
We have decided–yes give it up for yourselves!
Because of you guys we decided to put it back in the set and play it a certain way
We thought you might enjoy
So this goes out to the Live Journal Community
Thanks for sticking with us!

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.
