First of all, I'm pretty sure that Hayley wrote this before Paramore, so it's not a Paramore song. And second of all, this song is amazing! The lyrics are self-explanatory if you listen closely but basically I think it's about a girl who fell into this boy's trap and he sort of liked to keep her all to himself. The lines:
And you never said
That you meant to save someone,
Somebody just like me.
And you never told me
You wanted to love someone,
Somebody just like me.
seem to be saying that the boy didn't love HER, he was in love with the idea of someone like her, and she never really noticed it.
"You swallow your pride as you're left behind
Counting stars to name your lies
You let the light push you away
And now you're drowning in the waves."
The girl has finally gotten rid of the boy and now he's thinking all about the relationship, all the lies he told her, and now how he's sort of 'drowning' in all of those mistakes.
Not sure if this is what everyone else thinks, but I just sort of get the 'Girl likes boy, boy likes girls like her, girl dumps boy, boy realizes how the relationship was.'
