Paramore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

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

Crush, crush, crush, crush, crush (two, three, four)

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

If you wanna 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
Your little spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth with their lies
Your little spies

Crush, crush, crush, crush, crush (two, three, four)

Nothing compares to a quiet evening alone
Just the one two of us is 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 honey, don't you know baby
We're all alone now, I need something to sing about
Rock and roll honey, don't you know baby
We're all alone now, give me something to sing about

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

Overall Meaning

The song is about a crush, but it's not a typical love song. The lyrics express the frustration of the singer with the situation. She has a lot to say to the person she has a crush on, but doesn't know how to express it. She notices that the person is always looking at her, but doesn't understand why. The chorus talks about how someone has taped over the person's mouth and scribbled out the truth with lies, which could symbolize how society has silenced and oppressed them. The "little spies" may also refer to the people around them who are keeping a close watch on their every move.


The second verse continues with the frustration and desire for more. The singer wants to be more than just a game to play. She would rather waste her life pretending than forget the person she has a crush on for even one minute. The bridge brings in a rock and roll element, and the singer is looking for something to sing about. The quiet evening alone is where the two of them are counting on being together, but it never happens; it's just a dream.


Overall, the song is about the frustration of trying to express feelings for someone when there are obstacles in the way. The singer is feeling silenced by those around her and frustrated with herself for not being able to express what she feels. The song addresses the importance of finding the strength to speak up for oneself and pursue what one wants in life.
