[Verse 1]
As if the first cut wasn't deep enough
I dove in again 'cause I'm not into giving up
Could've gotten the same rush from any lover's touch
But why get used to something new?
'Cause no one breaks my heart like you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When you kiss me, I wish we could see what happens next
For a moment, I could forget what happens in my head
If I doubt you, would you come through?
Happy second chance or happy ending
But this time you don't leave me sinking

[Chorus]
(I'm underwater) No air in my lungs
(My eyes are open) I'm done giving up
(You are the wave) I could never tame
If I survive, I'll dive back in

[Verse 2]
As if the first blood didn't thrill enough
I went further out to see what else was left of us
Never found the deep end of our little ocean
Drain the fantasy of you
Headfirst into shallow pools

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I wonder, is it better to get it over with?
The illusion, can shatter before we begin
If you're really sorry
Happy second chance, think I could forgive
This time you won't leave me sinking

[Chorus]
(I'm underwater) No air in my lungs
(My eyes are open) I'm done giving up
(You are the wave) I could never tame
If I survive, I'll dive back in

[Bridge]
Dive back into
Right back into
Dive right back into you
And now I know you
Now I know you
Now that I know you
Dive right back into you
Back into
Right back into you
Dive right back into you
And now I know you
Now I know you
Now that I know you
Dive right back into you

[Chorus]
(I'm underwater) No air in my lungs
(My eyes are open) I'm done giving up
(You are the wave) I could never tame
If I survive, I'll dive back in

[Chorus]
(I'm underwater) No air in my lungs
(My eyes are open) I'm done giving up
(You are the wave) I could never tame
If I survive, I'll dive back in
I'll dive back in, I'll dive back

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.
