Metric The People Lyrics

Not looking for a reason, not trying to understand
Not trying to catch your eye, not trying to touch your hand
Not trying to show you part of me no one else can find
But I will bring a song to you, who will buy my time?

Not looking for a reason, not trying to understand
Not trying to catch your eye, not trying to touch your hand
Not trying to show you part of me no one else can find
But I will bring a song to you, who will buy my time?

The people get philosophical and say there is no future
I am trying to tear myself away from your eye
The people get philosophical and say there is no future
Nothing is as blinding as your eye

Not watching the seasons, watching days flow by
No quenchless autumn breezes, late tomorrow skies Are you frightened by the moment? i softly lie
Where i thought i would always be, i let myself get by

The people get philosophical and say there is no future
I am trying to tear myself away from your eye
The people get philosophical and say there is no future
Nothing is as blinding as your eye

The people
Get by

Not looking for an ending to make the pieces fit
Need is always pending on how much you can get
How much you can get

Ooh,oh.oh...Aaaah.

The people get philosophical and say there is no future
I am trying to tear myself away from your eye
The people get philosophical and say there is no future
Nothing is as blinding as your eye

The people
Get by

Where are you now?
