The fourth clip shared by Paramore on their Discord server, on September 27; each of the snippets posted by Paramore carried a character of the phrase “Re – This Is Why”, and this was titled ‘-’.
This is a rendition of Figure 8, by Bartees Strange.
[Intro: Hayley Williams]
Yeah, once you get me going
Yeah, once you get me going
Yeah, once you get me going
Yeah, once you get me (I don't know how to stop, I don’t know how to stop)
Yeah, once you get me going
[Verse 1: Hayley Williams]
Drained me dry, down to the last drop
Yeah, once you get me going
Pearls before swine, all flowers die
Tapped the last good vein
Don't know how to shut it off
[Pre-Chorus: Hayley Williams]
Yeah, once you get me going
I don't know how to stop, I don’t know how to stop
Yeah, once you gеt me going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to
[Chorus: Hayley Williams]
All for your sake
Becamе the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure eight
[Post-Chorus: Hayley Williams]
Yeah, once you get me going
Yeah, once you get me
[Verse 2: Hayley Williams]
I won't miss the feeling
My flimsy spine, unsuspicious mind
I was only being kind
But you mistook me for weak
[Pre-Chorus: Hayley Williams]
And once I get going
Mm, I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to stop
Going
I don't know how to stop, I don't know how to
[Chorus: Hayley Williams]
All for your sake
Became the very thing that I hate
I lost my way
Spinning in an endless figure
[Outro: Bartees Strange]
All for your sake
Became the very thing I hate
I lost my way (My way, my way)
In an endless figure eight
All for your sake (All for your sake)
Became the very thing I hate (The thing I hate, the thing I hate)
I lost my way (My way, my way, my way, my way)
Spinning in a figure eight (Spinning in a figure eight)
Ooh (Spinning in a figure eight)
Yeah, oh (Spinning in a figure eight)
All for your sake (Spinning in a figure eight)
Spinning in a figure eight (A figure eight)
All for your sake (Oh)
Became the very thing I hate
I lost my way, I lost my way
Spinning in a figure eight, figure eight, figure eight

So grateful that Paramore asked me to flip Figure 8, one of my faves from the album. Chris Connors and I made this at J Robbin’s spot – the Magpie Cage in Baltimore. Run it up!
