Crystal Clear (Lyrics)
I don't wanna shut you out
I don’t wanna rush around
or slow down
this time I swear I'll stay right here
wanna make it crystal clear
I won't give in to the fear
Crystal clear
Won't give in to the fear
Crystal clear
Won't give in to the fear
Crystal clear
I remember standing on the edge,
Closin my eyes and countin to 3
Jumpin with the rush in my head
Only to find, the water was concrete
Now you're pumpin air to my lungs
This don't feel anything like sinking
In fact no matter how deep I go into you
Looks like the water is crystal clear
Crystal clear
Won't give in to the fear
Crystal clear
Here we go, gonna risk it again
Let’s hope it’s the last time
We don't know how this could end
Let's hope it won't have to
Crystal clear
Won't give in to the fear
Crystal clear

Zac, Taylor, and Hayley supporting each other's non-Paramore music endeavors is so wholesome I could cry.

[@caughtcrjfever2107]

Hey I'm pretty new. Can you suggest non paramore songs from hayley, taylor, etc like after laughter especially rose colored boy, pool, still into you etc.

[@afrantt56]

marvel dc Zac’s band is called HalfNoise and my favorites from them are Mountain, She Said, All That Love Is, Every Single Time, Sudden Feeling, and Someday. I think Taylor is more of a producer but for Hayley you should def check out her new album Petals For Armor (which is what Crystal Clear is from). The whole album is incredible!

What absolutely kills me is in Hate To See Your Heart Break, which is about Taylor, Hayley says “for all the air that’s in your lungs”, and in Pool about that wasteman, she goes “I’m under water, no air in my lungs” and in this is which we now know it’s about Taylor (even tho most of us already knew), she sings “now you’re pumping air to my lungs” It’s like she always knew 😭😭😭😭 I cannot deal 🥺
