"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, to 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]
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
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

[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]
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

To the guy in his black gmc truck who let me cross the street earlier, thanks, you have great taste in music

[moder]

Metric is so underrated and deserves far more international attention. Such a great band!!!!

[Falcon]

so I've just discovered this song and now Im going to play it 1000 times.

[danielharrison]

Metric has the Soul. That's it. That's why.

[KyleTheLEGOMaster]

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

Representing Toronto baby!!! Canadian bands are awesome!

[alasings]

I don't think there is a single song from metric that I haven't liked. They always come out with a new sound but it always has metric feels. <3

[mackenziegardner]

Every time I am sad I listen to metric and it makes me feel so much happier

[Megapixelz]

This song cheers me up everytime I hear it.

[dannycampbell]

This song is amazing. The first time I heard it I wasn't sure how to feel but multiple listens helped me truly appreciate it. It's now my favorite Metric song, and this is coming from a long time fan.

[jonwhatthehell]

"Bored Hot 100" >>> the shade they throw at Billboard lol

Metric rocks! \m/

[kevinmaz]

Saw you last night budweiser stage Toronto. Best show I've been to in a very long time..

[JB]

This song: when music causes so much bliss you can't even remember where your mind went when it stops.

[pmsn]

I don't see how it is possible to not like this, the song is so catchy!

[michaelcastillo]

This band just gets it and I’ll never stop loving them for it.

[quillmaurer]

Not sure if this is the intention of the song, but what I take from it is that it's describing the euphoria of being in love. Seemingly mundane things, "a blade of grass, a grain of sand" become incredible, one becomes excited about them, wanting everything in life, "all there is and ever was." A feeling I've experienced, but not in a few years.

[MuktadirAlam]

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

[Alejandrotillz]

There is sometimes a song that just makes you feel good: this is that song.

[YMAdventures]

This song is life is humanity and us. I heard it back in 2015 for the first time when I used to work at Walgreens and ever since then it became one of my all time favorites
