I'm following the sun that's setting in the west, We're floating on a bed of bleeding light,
A Canape of tree's 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....
With eternal love, stars above with 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, a moonlit scene, I will hold your hand!
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all
The Embers of a fire still burning as they die, still bright enough to keep us side by side.
Baby there's no better time, no better time baby we can't find, oh....
With eternal love, stars above with 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, a moonlit scene, I will hold your hand!
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all
With eternal love, stars above with 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 scene, I will 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 temptations, We got it made,
We got awarded, 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, stars above with 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 scene, I will hold your hand!
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all,
With eternal love, stars above with 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 scene, I will hold your hand!
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all
With eternal love, stars above with all there is and ever was,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all,
We got awarded, 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,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all,
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, I want it all,

This song is an anthem to bravery, to life, to rediscovering that simple principle we all learn as toddlers but forget along the way, buried in the fear - "I want". Here's what Emily had to say about this one:
"I wrote and sang this song at Oscilloscope Labs in NY in one day. When you feel yourself becoming a coward, the best thing to do is force yourself to get out of bed and be willing to feel everything, including rejection and confusion, all over again. Bring it on haters."
@nivad Wow so powerful. Emily is such a special person.

I feel like this is a song about commitment to another person and the desire to have everything that comes with that commitment. The wonderful thing about metric is that it could be about something else entirely but is applicable to a bunch of different things. Such a great song by such an amazing group, I cannot wait for their new album.
@xtina325 Can't agree more, I can't wait. They are like wine, they get better with every album it seems. Such a unique and special band.
