Pool

From After Laughter2017

Written by Hayley Williams, Taylor York, Zac Farro

Lyrics

Pool

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 Why get used to something new? 'Cause no one breaks my heart like you

When you kiss me, I wish we could see what happens next For a moment, I can forget what happens in my head If I doubt you, will you come through With a happy second chance, a happy ending But this time you don't leave me sinking

I'm underwater No air in my lungs My eyes are open And I'm giving up You are the wave I could never tame If I survive I'll dive back in

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

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 I think I could forgive This time you won't leave me sinking

I'm underwater No air in my lungs My eyes are open And I'm giving up You are the wave I could never tame If I survive I'll dive back in

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 you 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

I'm underwater No air in my lungs My eyes are open And I'm giving up You are the wave I could never tame If I survive I'll dive back in

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

    From Dork

    Paramore on Dork

    How Hayley Williams built a solo live world beyond Paramore

    Across debut-packed sets, carefully chosen guests and a Roundhouse show built around release rather than nostalgia, Hayley Williams gave her solo material its own room to breathe.

    Hayley Williams has shared a new video for 'Glum', co-directed with Paramore’s Zac Farro

    The tracks mark her first releases as a fully independent artist.

    Paramore have postponed this week's San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Salt Lake City shows

    It's due to illness within the touring party.

    Inside Paramore's London 'This Is Why' listening party

    When Official Paramore Expert Eleanor Osada said she was heading to the band's London fan listening party we snapped her hand off at the offer of a first-hand account.
