Metric - The Shade Lyrics

I love all of your albums. Pagans in Vegas is my absolute favorite.

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

Baby, there's no better time
No better time, baby, we can't find
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

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, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all

The embers of a fire still burning as they die
Stay bright to keep us side by side

Baby, there's no better time
No better time, baby, we can't find
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

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, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all

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, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all

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

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, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all

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, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all

I don't think there is one Metric song that I don't like.

I love this song and video!!!!

Love this band from Toronto Canada

A turn to positive and hopeful art. We miss the nihilism of Our Hell and Monster Hospital and Help I'm Alive. But the flourishing positivity touches a deep chord in the human heard and one must rejoice in this tentative reaching towards that which is good and true and beautiful—which is to say God, even if those who reach do not realize it. (God doesn't mind...)

Bittersweet. x

Is it just me or is the video lagging?

god damn she is the best female song writer so far of the 21st century and she is absolutely beautiful in every aspect

ellie goulding basically ripped off metric

micro plastics are now raining down and getting into our drinking water across the planet,all the years of plastic use has proved to be unnatural and a big mistake,decomposing plastics are killing wildlife and humans

different version of Gwen Stephanie

I love it. I get it. I want it!

Who knew random clips goes so well with music

Now I want it all!

FANTASTIC IN EVERY WAY! LYRIC, PRODUCTION, PERFORMANCE, MIX AND MESSAGE. WOW!

oh i like Emily and Metric so much!

Here's to still wanting it all in 2019

Fucking magic this...

The voice - it's like you hear her and don't want to not have that voice still going on in your head. Such an amazing band and a perfect video to boot.

What a voice, what a band!

saw em twice in the same weekend. took a whole week off work to catch july talk and metric. worth it

They have matured so much in their latest album Art of doubt. One of the best I ever heard..

What an animal tune! I obviously lived under a rock all these years..only know this band since yesterday! What in the s&it!

I wonder if she ever got it all?

Eu quero tudo

Why did they have to put that annoying computer sound on the chorus.. ugh

This is my wife's favorite Metric tune. From the first time she heard it she was singing along.

Who knows the song Sweet Caroline that Emily performed with Lyra Brown back at Mobile Jam Fest in 2008?! It sounds exactly like the verses in this song. Even some of the words are the same. It's driving me nutty!

Crappy capture of the show but seriously listen and compare!

The Shade:
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

Baby, there's no better time
No better time, baby, we can't find
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

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

Sweet Caroline:
Sinkin in the waterbed
Sailin to the south pole
On a bed of feather white
Are they happy not to know you
Giving you emotive
One of us has got to die
Listen to the songs that i will never know you
Go and find your own sweet caroline

Baby get over it too
Baby run, you better run on home
They will get over it when you do

We got it all
We got the crush all wrong

GOD I LOVE EMILY THOUGHHHHH!! <3

thats such an amazing tune!! sooo catchy!

The switchboard interface at the beginning of the video reminds me of the custom modular setup in "I Dream of Wires".

That one scene shot in my hometown east Los Angeles! That's the bridge heading to downtown LA

"The Shade"

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

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, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all


The embers of a fire still burning as they die
Stay bright to keep us side by side

Baby, there's no better time
No better time, baby, we can't find
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

[Chorus x2:]
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, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all


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 x2:]
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, to hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all

I brought Walgreens here

My 4 year old nephew loves this song!

If the they made this video right around the time this song was released, the video would have gotten WAY MORE hits. They should have made the music video right away. This song is so underrated!

This band is aesthetic as fuck

i love this song so much <3 i want it all

damn she is such a beautiful woman and she writes such good lyrics. She should be bigger than all the dumb pop stars

I dont like chicks, cause chicks like dick and that shits gay af.

I cannot stop listening to this!!

I feel like packing my bags and taking a trip to the west coast.

The blonde of all fantasies

Just saw this on a Facebook ad.

They have an awesome 80's feel ;)

this song makes me happy

My 2 years old son, new favorite song ...

Had this song on repeat all day. Love Metric!

This song makes me happy. Really, really happy.
