This was written for the 2008 movie Twilight, which was based on Stephenie Meyer's first book of her series of vampire novels. Paramore's frontwoman Hayley Williams said in a statement that the title of the song, "is about the building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between (story characters) Bella and Edward. Bella's is the only mind Edward can't read and I feel like that's a big part of the first book and one of the obstacles for them to overcome. It's one added tension that makes the story even better."
When Williams heard that the film version of Twilight was being made, inspired by both the relationship in Stephenie Meyer's original book and personal experiences, she penned this song's lyrics. The singer told Rolling Stone that her bandmates initially thought they were "harsh" until she explained the premise of the novel. "Then," she said, "I think everyone just really locked on the whole vibe of the song, and did a great job getting the whole picture of the book." Williams then took the song directly to Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, who not only gave it the thumbs up, but also commissioned the band to write another song, which became "I Caught Myself."
Lyrics
How can I decide what's right
When you're clouding up my mind?
I can't win your losing fight all the time
How can I ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No not this time
Not this time
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And it's hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(I'm screaming, "I love you so!")
On my own
(My thoughts you can't decode)
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well, yeah
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We've gone and made such fools of ourselves
Yeah...!
How did we get here?
Well, I used to know you so well, yeah, yeah
How did we get here?
[Album version:] Well, I used to know you so well
[Acoustic version:] Why won't you show yourself?
I think I know
I think I know
Ooh, there is something
I see in you
It might kill me
I want it to be true
