The Mandate lyrics

Artist  : Metric 
Song : The Mandate



 Send "The Mandate" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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


And say our mother's names with a smile.

Remember how she sang you a lullaby? 

How did 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 want to see me, I'm going to be at the
bottom of the hills.

I'm going to be standing with my back against the
valley walls.

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

I'm going to walk away from all of them.



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


I don't really know much about what we're going
to do when the days go by (as they're
wasting)

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

And I'm still looking at you

Whenever I'm not

I'm looking for you.
