“Last Hope” was inspired by the pain Hayley Williams felt following the departure of the Farro brothers from the band. The Buffalo News wrote in its concert review that Hayley “trumpeted (Last Hope) as the perfect first Paramore song if you’ve never heard the band before.” In an interview with the D...
[Verse 1]
I don't even know myself at all
I thought I would be happy by now
The more I try to push it, I realize
Gotta let go of control
[Refrain]
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Just let it happen
[Chorus]
It's just a spark, but it's enough
To keep me going
And when it's dark out, no one's around
It keeps glowing
[Verse 2]
Every night I try my best to dream
Tomorrow makes it better
Then I wake up to the cold reality
And not a thing has changed
[Refrain]
But it will happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
[Chorus]
It's just a spark, but it's enough
To keep me going
And when it's dark out, no one's around
It keeps glowing
It's just a spark, but it's enough
To keep me going
And when it's dark out, no one's around
It keeps glowing
[Verse 3]
And the salt in my wounds
Isn't burning any more than it used to
It's not that I don't feel the pain
It's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore
And the blood in these veins
Isn't pumping any less than it ever has
And that's the hope I have
The only thing I know that's keeping me alive
Alive
[Bridge]
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
Gotta let it happen
[Chorus]
It's just a spark, but it's enough
To keep me going
(So if I let go of control now, I can be strong)
And when it's dark out, no one's around
It keeps glowing
It's just a spark, but it's enough
To keep me going
(So if I keep my eyes closed, with the blind hope)
And when it's dark out, no one's around
It keeps glowing
[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Last Hope was written by Taylor York & Hayley Williams.
Last Hope was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen.
Hayley stated:
There were moments over the last year and a half that I really was just hanging by a thread, I felt like my purpose was gone. The song is about how I crawled out of it.
