Romanticize The Dive

by Metric

Lyrics
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Romanticize the dive, low rise
Nostalgic for a place and time
The brick-and-mortar sleaze and grime
They erase from sight but not from mind

All my life, I'll be with you
I'm not lost, I'm just confused
On a once-familiar street
Take me back to what I knew

All my life (Ooh)

All my life (Ooh)
All my life (Ooh)
Romanticize the dive (Ooh-ooh, ooh)

I'm under, you're over, we're opposite halves
You're forcing me forward, I would rather save the past
Than cash out the valley and bulldoze the laundromat
(??? and give regret another day)
We had it, we lost it, we fell out of phase
You're forcing me forward, I remember early days
The corner bodegas, cruising the alleyways
(??? and give regret another day)

All my life, I'll be with you
I'm not lost, I'm just confused
On a once-familiar street

Take me back to what I knew

All my life (Ooh)
All my life (Ooh)
All my life (Ooh)
Romanticize the dive (Ooh-ooh)
All my life (Ooh)
All my life (Ooh)
All my life (Ooh)
Romanticize the dive (Ooh-ooh)
All my life (Ooh)
All my life (Ooh)
All my life (Ooh)
Romanticize the dive (Ooh-ooh)
