Metric - Love You Back Lyrics






I'm gonna dry all my tears today
Got no patience for pain
Tell my friends to shade the sad parade
I'm gonna lift up and float away
It's been far too long
I wait in vain for better days in pouring rain

I'm gonna stand up and drag these chains
I've been held in place with wiry lace
And waltzed around the drain
When you've got no time
You're gonna want it back
You're gonna act so bad
You're gonna act so badly

I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You're everyone I never had
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You're everyone I never had

I'm gonna cut out and waste time today
Dump some diamonds in the lake
Truly appreciate my luck can change
I'm gonna skip out, your wire won't stay
It's a thin disguise that barely hides
The pain it veils it falls away

I'm gonna dry all my tears today
I've been held in place with wiry lace
And waltzed around the drain
When you've got no time
You're gonna want it back
You're gonna want it badly
When you feel this life
When you feel this happy
You're gonna act so bad
You're gonna act so badly

I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You're everyone I never had
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You're everyone I never had
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
I wanna love you back so bad
You're everyone I never had

  4. D.... N....

    I love the band, but this video is the reason I -strongly dislike- *hate* fan-made music videos.

  5. 0.... 0....

    Hello!!! I was at the music festival in Des Moines! I love you!

  6. M.... N....

    Gracias <3

  7. i.... y....

    Woooww really metric is back!! <3 i love you from México.

  8. O.... S....

    Emily Haines may be the only public figure I've ever fallen in love with lol. Most of it is her musical talent. The rest is her superb energy.

  9. �.... S....

    Rock will never die!

  10. M.... A....

    I just discovered this band two days ago. This is what band music is supposed to be..

  11. D.... ....

    I found out about it way too late to make a contribution :( Maybe next time.

  12. m.... ....

    Props to compiling all these edits, looks like a lotta work! Nicely done

    [Verse 1]
    I’m gonna dry all my tears today
    Got no patience for old pain
    Tell my friends to shake the sad parade
    I’m gonna lift up and fly away
    It’s been far too long
    I'd wait in vain for better days, than pouring rain

    I’m gonna stand up and drop these chains
    I’ve been held in place with wire and lace
    And waltzed around the drain

    [Pre-Chorus 1]
    When you’ve got no time
    You’re gonna want it back
    You’re gonna act so bad
    You’re gonna act so badly

    [Chorus]
    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    You’re everyone I never had


    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    You’re everyone I never had

    [Verse 2]
    I’m gonna cut out and waste the day
    Dump some diamonds in the lake
    Truly appreciate my luck can change
    I’m gonna strip off this whitewash stain
    It’s a thin disguise that barely hides
    Your painted face that falls away

    I’m gonna dry all my tears today
    I’ve been held in place with wire and lace
    And waltzed around the drain

    [Pre-Chorus 2]
    When you’ve got no time
    You’re gonna want it back
    You’re gonna want it badly
    When you feel this light
    When you feel this happy
    You’re gonna act so bad
    You’re gonna act so badly

    [Chorus]
    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    You’re everyone I never had

    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    You’re everyone I never had

    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    I wanna love you back so bad
    You’re everyone I never had

  17. r.... s....

    awesome concept and editing. also the synth bass and that chorus guitar..wow

  18. T.... P....

    Why did I only hear of Metric a few months ago? Where have I been?

  19. M.... T....

    Love this so much! My blondie baby dancing in the snow at 25 seconds in!

  20. R.... J....

    amazing!

  21. T.... S....

    I didn't get the memo, but congrats to everyone who made it in!

  22. e.... ....

    This is awesome!

  23. J.... W....

    This, like running up that hill, are meant to push the narrative that it's a world wide thing. It's not though, it's just within the organization itself. No one knows who I am other than these people. They see it as building you up so they can tear you down when they reveal the truth. TO kinda pacify you, to make you feel small, like you don't really matter when you thought you did. Also allows them to see how you would react if you really were the king of the world. Kill em, kill em all.

  24. P.... ....

    Bellissima

  25. J.... R....

    i think u are the BEST BAND IN THE WHOLE WORLD !!!

  26. T.... ....

    1.52 Prague! wooo hooo!

  30. w.... ....

    Love this song and the new album, can’t wait to see you guys in Detroit!

  31. N.... ....

    It seems to be a theme for Metric to put out a few really good hits per record, just to follow it up/end an album cycle, with their worst. This is beyond corny and sad.

  32. a.... ....

    Thank you for emphasizing community ❤ Love you back!

  33. Q.... t....

    Best band of the decade! Send you my love...

  34. R.... Y....
