We tried so hard to understand
But we can't
We held the world out in our hands
And you ran away

It takes some time to let you go
And it shows
Cause all we know is falling
Remember how cause I know that we won't forget at all

Now we can follow you back home
But we won't
Is this what you had waited for
Just to be alone

It takes some time to let you go
And it shows
Cause all we know is falling it falls
Remember how cause I know that we won't forget at all

You never
You never said
This wasn't what you wanted
Was it
Was it

This isn't what you wanted
This isn't what you wanted
Cause all we know
Is falling it falls
Remember how cause I know that we won't
Forget it all

    General Comment:Love all Paramore's stuff. Truly a great band; I listen to them every day. Glad Jeremy didn't stay away, and I hope no one ever leaves.

    About the MTV thing? Who cares? I don't watch it, so I don't find reason to make it a big deal. If brats are listening to it, oh well. We're the true fans, and that's what matters.

    General Comment:Love this song. I think the song is about when Jeremy left during the recording process of this album and they were going through some major changes. But I relate to it because I moved and everything was changing. Glad Jeremy's back. Love him :)

    General Comment:They said that there first album was centered around the feelings they had when Jeremy left the band before they came out with the album. All We Know even sorta has that vibe of someone leaving:

    We've tried so hard to understand (they have tried to understand why he left them)
    But we can't (but they can't except it)
    We held the world out in our hands (they were gunna be such a great beand together)
    And you ran away (but you just left us)

    It takes some time to let you go (It's gunna take some time to get over this)
    And it shows (and you know it)

    Cause all we know is falling (becasue now our world is crashing)
    It falls
    And remember (just don't forget us)
    Cause I know that we won't forget at all (becasuse the rest of us surely won't)

    Now we can follow you back home (they know where he lives and they could go and bother him about it)
    But we won't(but they won't do it)
    Is this what you had waited for (is this really what you want)
    Just to be alone? (to be away from us)



    You never
    You never said
    This wasn't what you wanted (you never really told us that you wanted this)
    Was it?
    Was it? (so tell us now)

    This isn't what you wanted
    This isn't what you wanted (self explanitory)

    General Comment:The entire album isnt about Jeremy leaving, but it evolved off of that concept. and this song is totally about him leaving, Paramore has said it.

    <3 this song

    General Comment:I loved them wayy before MTV but I do think it's good for them. Their record sales have probably skyrocketed since which means more money for them and possibly more albums, songs, and singles.

    General Comment:I think that maybe them being on MTV may make them more pop and that will suck
    But we'll see.
