Sound of my only hope

“I can’t remember what band I saw, maybe it was mewithoutYou,” Williams says. “Taylor ended up being there. He was like, ‘Hey, do you wanna go get coffee after this?’ And I was just, ‘Oh, God, he’s gonna tell me that he’s splitting too, and now we’re really up a creek. Now we’ve lost the majority of the band. We sit down at Café Coco in Nashville [where Paramore is based], and we’re having coffee and I’m all nervous, speaking really fast. And he was like, ‘I’m not done with the band. I just don’t see any reason that I would ever want to stop.’ I remember I saved up all the mushy-gushy stuff until I got into the car by myself and I just started bawling all the way home.”
