[Verse 1]
Down to you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I

[Chorus]
Now, when I caught myself
I had to stop myself
From saying something that
I should've never thought
Now, when I caught myself
I had to stop myself
From saying something that
I should've never thought of you, of you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No, I don't know what I want

[Verse 2]
You got it, you got it
Some kind of magic
Hypnotic, hypnotic
You're leaving me breathless
I hate this, I hate this
You're not the one I believe in
With God as my witness

[Chorus]
Now, when I caught myself
I had to stop myself
From saying something that
I should've never thought
Now, when I caught myself
I had to stop myself
From saying something that
I should've never thought of you, of you
You're pushing and pulling me down to you
But I don't know what I want
No, I don't know what I want

[Bridge]
Don't know what I want
But I know it's not you
Keep pushing and pulling me down
When I know in my heart it's not you

[Chorus]
Now, when I caught myself
I had to stop myself
From saying something that
I should've never thought
Now, when I caught myself
I had to stop myself
From saying something that
I should've never thought of you, of you

[Outro]
I knew, I know in my heart it's not you
I knew, but now I know what I want, I want, I want
Oh no, I should've never thought

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.
