Lyrics for Franklin as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Franklin Lyrics
And when we get home, I know we won't be home at all
This place we live, it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were in the town we could call our own
Going back to get away after everything has changed

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

So we stand here now and no one knows us at all
I won't get used to this
I won't get used to being gone
And going back won't be the same if we aren't staying
Going back to get away after everything has changed

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?
(Everything has changed)
Could you help me push aside all that I have left behind?
(Everything has changed)
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

Taking up our time
Taking up our time
Taking up our time

It's taking up our time
We can't go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time
We can't go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time
We can't go back, we can't go back at all
It's taking up our time
Taking up our time

Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?
Do you remember that? Do you remember that?

Absolutely one of the most heartfelt songs on the album besides 'My Heart'. Sometimes things change...

franklin is where paramore is from, so i'm sure this is all about them missing it.
also, everything is different and im sure they get treated differently (some good, some bad) by people at home now.

My favorite Paramore song.
I can relate it to my life because we moved from Canada across the world, and I feel exactly like these lines:
And when we get home
we won't be home at all
This place we live
it is not where we belong
And I miss who we were
and the town we could call our own

Going back to get away
after everything has changed

The singing in this song is gorgeous. I think its a song that can relate to a lot of people in different ways. Thats what makes it so great.

'Cause you remind me of a time
when we were so alive
Do you remember that?
Do you remember that?

The vocals in this song are beautifully arranged. This could be related to something besides their touring. Like, leaving your home and then coming back. Maybe even just out-growing everything you once loved. I mean, sometimes things/people change. It's a part of everyday life. But, sometimes, other people that once liked you now don't because you changed too much (even though you couldn't truly control that). The majority of people don't like change, including myself. But, anyways, this is one of my favorite Paramore songs.

This is a beautiful song, one of my favorites by them. I think one of the reasons I love this song so much, aside from the fact that it's just outright amazing, is that I live in Franklin. I just find it so insanely awesome that I'm so close to such incredible talent. It makes me happy. :)

I actually think the line goes:

"It's taking up our time
We can't back, we can't go back at all"


Nevertheless, great song.

out of all of the songs paramore has ever created, i think this is my favorite one, its so heartfelt, and its so sad, because its about their home, which is basically an important part of everyone, its about how they felt before they started the band, and how they miss the way things used to be. "Could you remind me of a time when we were so alive?"

It's obvious this song is about their hometown. Anyone whose going back home can relate to this. Franklin is even the name of Paramore's hometown.

Franklin is the best.. I could certainly see how they would miss this town. especially downtown!! but yeah, this song is definitely about touring.

When I walk past my elementary school (I live 2 blocks away) I sometimes get this song in my head, and feel like crying. So beautiful, and makes me want to never move away.

This song is the foreshadowing of my life...
Maybe everyone's.

peace,
