Song of The Week: "Part II"

Song of The Week: "Part II" by Paramore

Many people consider this song as the second part to "Let The Flames Begin," a song from Paramore's 2007 album Riot!  Indeed, the rhythm and lyrics are similar (i.e. "oh glory"). But what I love about this song is when the guitar part comes in during the chorus. Combined with Hayley Williams' amazing vocals, the hook will be stuck in your head all day (or all week, in my case!) And need I mention the outro? It's pretty awesome.

Lyrics:
What a shame, what a shame we all remain
Such fragile broken things
A beauty half betrayed,
Butterflies with punctured wings
Still there are darkened places deep in my heart,
Where once was blazing light, now
There's a tiny spark

Oh glory,
Come and find me,
Oh glory,
Come and find me

Dancing all alone,
To the sound of an enemy's song,
I'll be lost until you find me
Fighting on my own,
In a war that's already been won,
I'll be lost until you come and find me here
Oh glory

What a mess, what a mystery we've made
Of love and other simple things,
Learning to forgive,
Even when it wasn't our mistake
I question every human
Who won't look in my eyes,
Scars left on my heart formed patterns in my mind

Oh glory
You will find me

Dancing all alone
To the sound of an enemy's song,
I'll be lost until you find me,
Fighting on my own,
In a war that's already been won,
I'll be lost until you come and find me here
Oh, glory

Like the moon we borrow our light
I am nothing but a shadow in the night,
So if you let me I will catch fire
To let your glory and mercy shine
