This Is Why (Re: Foals) Lyrics

[Intro]
Why
Why
Why

[Chorus]
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why

[Refrain]
Why

[Verse 1]
If you have an opinion
Maybe you should shove it
Or maybe you could scream it
Might be best to keep it
To yourself
To yourself

[Refrain]
Why

[Chorus]
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
[Refrain]
Why

[Bridge]
One step beyond your door
It might as well have been a free fall
One step beyond your door
Falling down an endless hall
One step bеyond your door
Might as well have been a free fall
One stеp beyond your door
Floating like a cannonball

[Verse 2]
Better have conviction
'Cause we want crimes of passion
Survival of the fittest
You're either with us or, or you can keep it
To yourself
To yourself
To yourself, yourself, yourself
To yourself

[Refrain]
Why
[Chorus]
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but, oh no, you won't catch me out
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but, oh no, you won't catch me out
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but, oh no, you won't catch me out
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but, oh no, you won't catch me out
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but, oh no, you won't catch me out
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but, oh no, you won't catch me out
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but, oh no, you won't catch me out
This is why I don't leave the house
You say the coast is clear, but, oh no, you won't catch me out
Oh, why?
This is why
Oh, why?
This is why

[Outro]
One step beyond your door
One step beyond your door
One step beyond your door

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

The penultimate clip shared by Paramore on their Discord server; each of the snippets posted by Paramore carried a character of the phrase “Re – This Is Why”, and this was titled ’H'.

This is a reworked version of This Is Why, renditioned by Foals, one of the bands that inspired Paramore’s sixth album, and also one of Taylor York’s favorite bands. Along with Bloc Party, Foals was the opening act for Paramore’s 2023 North American Tour.

Loved doing the remix, what a dream of a song to remix, what a tune. Digging through the song with my mining hat on was a pleasure, there’s so much good stuff in there. Hope you like it.
