Metric - Days Of Oblivion lyrics

All the times that now and then
Appear as only dreams
All the stuff from way back when
That's coming up, don't self-destruct
You don't have to call for the wrecking ball
Or burn the world to ashes
All you have to do is ask me to
I'll stop you where the descending stairs drop

I've unlocked all the doors
And I've lost all the keys
And I live in a mansion
Made up of memories
Bob said, "Don't look back"
John said, "I don't believe"
Jerry said, "There are days between days"

Days of oblivion, days of oblivion
It turns out these were the days
It turns out these were the days
Days of oblivion, days of oblivion
It turns out these were the days
The ashes of disaster drift to you
All your dreams of change are coming true

I know I need you, I know I need you
Don't ever leave me, I'll never leave you behind
I know you need me, the way I need you
I'll never leave you, don't ever leave me behind
I know I need you, you know I need you
Don't ever leave me, I'd never leave you behind
The way you need me, the way I need you
I'd never leave you, I'll never leave you behind

No, no, no
I've unlocked all the doors
And I'll never find the keys
And I live in a mansion now
Made up of memories
Bob said, "Don't look back"
John said, "I don't believe"
Jerry said, "There are days between days"

Days of oblivion, days of oblivion
It turns out these were the days
It turns out these were the days
Days of oblivion, days of oblivion
It turns out these were the days
The ashes of disaster drift to you
At last you really see me

All the times that now and then
Appear as only dreams
All the stuff from way back when
That's coming up, don't self-destruct
You don't have to call for the wrecking ball
Or burn the world to ashes
All you have to do is ask me to
I'll stop you where the descending stairs drop

All the things that now and then
Appear as only dreams
All the stuff from way back when
That's coming up, don't self-destruct
You don't have to call for the wrecking ball
Or burn the world to ashes
All you have to do is ask me to
I'll stop you where the descending stairs drop
