Paramore is a rock band formed in 2004 in Franklin, Tennessee consisting of Hayley Williams (vocals/keyboard), Josh Farro (guitar), Taylor York (guitar), Jeremy Davis (bass), and Zac Farro (drums). The name of the group is from the maiden name of a former member’s mother and was kept when the group learned of the meaning of the homonym. Most of the members of the group had not reached the age of 18 when success hit them with the release of their first album in 2005. The group’s second album released in 2007 has been certified platinum and four singles have come from it. In 2008, the group was nominated for a Grammy Award. There have been some personal issues within the band as some members have been upset about the media’s concentration on Hayley and the comparison of the group to other female fronted bands. The group briefly stopped touring in the Spring of 2008 in order to work these issues out. A third album is scheduled for release in the summer of 2009.

“Crushcrushcrush” is the third single from Paramore’s most recent album, “Riot!”. The song was released early in 2008 and reached number 4 on Billboard’s Hot Modern Rock Tracks. The song has been certified gold.

Crushcrushcrush
I got a lot to say to you
Yeah, I got a lot to say
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here
And it makes no sense at all

They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies

Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four! )

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two, of us who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than, this

If you want to play it like a game
Well, come on, come on, let’s play
Cause I’d rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute

They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
You little spies

Crush
Crush
Crush
Crush, crush
(Two, three, four! )

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two of us who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than this now!

Rock and roll, baby
Don’t you know that we’re all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and roll, hey
Don’t you know, baby, we’re all alone now?
Gimme something to sing about

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two of us who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than

No

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one, two of us who’s counting on
That never happens
I guess I’m dreaming again
Let’s be more than
More than this
Oh
