This song is heavenly. It's one of my favorite songs ever, and tops all her solo songs and, honestly, tops Metric songs. This song is beyond words. It's tear-jerking and beautiful beyond words.

100% agreed.

It's so haunting at the end. The second chorus is especially haunting[that's the part that usually gets to me].

In the first Chorus, what's bad{We'll Fix it}, What's wrong{We'll make it all right} It's lost{We'll Find it} Takes So Long{ We've Got Time}. It's comforting to hear that someone is always with you to fix what ever ails you. It starts so optimistic.

The second chorus gives no such assurances, What's Bad?[No Answer} What's wrong?[no answer] {You} make it all right, alright {Basically, handle it yourself}. It's gone so long{Not Found}.
