Metaphors

I'll be waiting out here

Waiting at your door

If you want it I could try

And get you little, little more

I'll break a promise

That I made to you yesterday

I'll never hide from you

Or never try to run, run away

I wrote a letter when I met her

And tore out the page

I threw it in a box

And hid it somewhere far, far away

You tell me secrets

And you tell me

That you want some more

It's not up to me to try

And help you try and settle, settle score

I could take you out in the afternoon

Dodge the shots as we swim to the pontoon

I know it's a metaphor

I know we're still unsure

Light a fire in our lifeboat

Just to keep warm but we won't

Stay afloat

I know it's a metaphor

I know we're still unsure

You sit sad at home

Expecting that I'll drive you round

I came to pick you up

So you can try and let me

Let me down

It's so annoying how you hated

Put yourself in pain

It's disappointing 'cause it's just

A made up little, little game

I could take you out in the afternoon

Dodge the shots as we swim to the pontoon

I know it's a metaphor

I know we're still unsure

Light a fire in our lifeboat

Just to keep warm but we won't

Stay afloat

I know it's a metaphor

I know we're still unsure
