"Risk" Lyrics :::

[Verse 1]
So you got away, something brought you back
To the kid that you were
For a couple days everything you lacked
You possessed, it was yours

[Pre-Chorus]
Started slow, started late
Started strong, then we lost faith
Started slow, started to lose control
The more we accelerate

[Verse 2]
With your hollow eyes, you keep coming back
It begins to transform
Can you spend the night? Can you be the raft?
In the eye of the storm?

[Pre-Chorus]
Started slow, started late
Started strong, then we lost faith
Started slow, started to lose control
The more we accelerate, the more we accelerate

[Chorus]
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it’s borrowed anyway

Was the risk I sent to you received?
All the words we say to be believed?
I’m already over the thrill of pursuit
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?

[Verse 3]
So you're beaten up but you bounce back
It’s all part of the pull
And the story runs like a soundtrack
We repeat 'til we're full

[Pre-Chorus]
Started slow, started late
Started strong, then we lost faith
Started slow, started to lose control
The more we accelerate, the more we accelerate

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
Can I send this kiss right to you now?
'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
Can I return this kiss that you gave?
Already know it’s borrowed anyway

Was the risk I sent to you received?
All the words we say to be believed?
I’m already over the thrill of pursuit
Where can I take the risk I took with you?
Send this kiss to someone new?

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]
So there's no way to hide
Find some daylight
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try

Find some daylight
Hollow eyes
There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
And I'm inclined to try

I'm 52, and metric touches me like no musician ever has before, and will never again....there is NO ONE better than Emily Hanes and Metric....she is Legendary!

[TCHImusic]

Metric really knows how to create melodic progressions that make you fell sad and excited at the same time. I'm kind of addicted on it.

[JeremiahCecil]

This song just about brings me to tears. It doesn't sound spiteful to me - it sounds really, painfully tragic. Every time she gets to the line "another way to leave the garden of Eden" I just about break down.

She sounds done, yeah... but hurt and desperate, too.

[Highlander]

This is a grown up Metric. Their jams are tricky to get, because at first they sound like old Metric. At first they sound like "Gold, Guns, Girls". But this is something way better. This is something that has a story... and when you just let go and listen, you can hear it.

[hellonurd]

This is Sick Muse if it was less optimistic & more of The Cure levels of melancholy. I fucking love it! Keep up the great work Metric!

[stevencraig]

Each song I hear off this album gets better!

[khizarmuhammad]

saw them in concert yesterday. I must say their work sounds MUCH better live than in an album, which is also amazing

[HexNottingham]

What an absolute banger! Definitely in my top 5 Metric jams.

[elkurto]

Ya va para 2 años y aun no puedo dejar de escuchar esta gran canción! Excelencia pura!!! Metric es una mega banda!! Los adoro!!

[FPS_SKUNK]

That moment 2:46...my heart dances! The thought'gasams Emily gives me.

[TanyatasticTalks]

Right in the heart with this one, Metric

[afsheenrashid]

Who else thought of IOU at the line "the more we accelerate"??? It made wanna cry. There are so many connections to their previous albums on this album, it's giving me serious nostalgia. This album is a masterpiece! ♥

[you]

3:57 and to the end of the song is so hypnotic to me, can't possibly count how many times I've listened to that sequence

[chrystalp]

loving this album. dont know why it took me so long to listen. metric rocks. emily is a fantastic lyricist.

[AidanXavier]

Emily is kinda savage sometimes. "Can I return this kiss that you gave? Already know it's borrowed anyway."

[kentoshogun]

Metric has been delivering consistent quality albums for over 2 decades, not many bands who achieved something like that, yet they remain relatively unknown. they should be absolutely huge if the world was ok.

[vanessaandazola]

Takes me back to Fantasies. Satalite mind to be exact 😍😍😍

[dariescobedo]

Awesome!!! Please come to Mexico!! We need Metric in our lives and eyes 😍😍🤩🤩🤩

[ameliarose]

This is helping me through my break up (in a LDR) so much.

It was a risk indeed. We lived in separate countries. It was nothing but false promises on his end.

We started strong, then we lost faith. We started to lose control the more we accelerated the relationship.

His kisses may have been borrowed, but I would definitely love to return them.

"Are the words we say to be believed?" I don't know. My words were sincere on my end. I can't speak for him.

I'm definitely "over the thrill of pursuit."

I wish I can go back and not risk it with him.
He can risk it with other people.

And I'm definitely inclined to "leave the Garden of Eden" and in the meantime, I'll "find some daylight".
I can't hide in this sadness and anger anymore.

Metric, thank you for being there for me in good and bad times ever since I was 13. 💖

As far as I can tell, Appaloosa Bones isn't only the best Gregory Alan Isakov record, it's one of the best ever. Period. Tonality, timing, lyrics, album art, I'm sure I could go on. Amazing record. 💥 🍻
