So this is Paramore, a Tennessee-based pop-punk/ emo band that all the cool kids are apparently listening to. This Coldplay-esque number is entitled “The Only Exception,” and it’s the third single from the band’s 2009 album Brand New Eyes.
Oh, the hot redhead is 21-year-old singer Hayley Williams, a Mississippi native who was discovered when she was 14 years old.
Enjoy …
PARAMORE: “THE ONLY EXCEPTION”
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore
that she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I’d never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
Maybe I know somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts.
And we’ve got to find other ways
to make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.
And I’ve always lived like this
keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I’ve sworn to myself
that I’m content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
I’ve got a tight grip on reality,
but I can’t let go of what’s in front of me here.
I know you’re leaving in the morning
when you wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it’s not a dream.
You are the only exception. [x4]
You are the only exception. [x4]
And I’m on my way to believing.
Oh, and I’m on my way to believing.
