Metric - The Shade (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]:

I'm following the sun

That's setting in the West

We're floating on a bed of fading lights

A canopy of trees

Bears witness to the breeze

I'm falling like a feather, soft and light

[Pre-Chorus]:

Baby, there's no better time

No better time, baby, we can't find

Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

[Chorus]:

With eternal love, the stars above

All there is and ever was

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all, I want it all

A blade of grass, a grain of sand

The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all, I want it all

[Verse 2]:

The embers of a fire still burning as they die

Stay bright to keep us side by side

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus 2x]

[Bridge]:

We got the sunshine

We got the shade

We got temptation

We got it made

We got rewarded

We got refused

We got distorted

We got confused

We got the sunshine

We got the shade

I want it all, I want it all

I want it all, I want it all

[Chorus 2x]
