Artist/Band: Metric
Lyrics for Song: The Mandate
Lyrics for Album: Mainstream EP [1998]



As far back as it goes, we watch the time move by

And say our mothers' names with a smile

Remember how she sang you a lullaby

How'd she ever do such good for you?



Take me back where I used to live

I want to see my old friends and how they've changed



I always said that when I grew up

I would give my friends another chance

To see their lives rearranged

If they wanna see me

I'm gonna be at the bottom of the hills

I'm gonna be standing with my back against the valley wall

I'm gonna look up at all the cool kids standing in their running shoes

I'm gonna walk away from all of that, all of that, all of them all



That's the last thing I can say about the future

(The future, the future)

I don't really know much about what I'm going to do when the days go by

(As they always do)

I guess all I really know, about where we're going to go

Is by looking at where we've been to

And I'm still looking at you



And I'm still looking at you

And I'm always looking for you

I'm still looking at you

Whenever I'm not

Whenever I'm not

I'm looking for you

I'm looking for you
