Metaphors - San Cisco

I’ll be waiting out here waiting at your door

If you want it I could try and get you just a 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 help you settle, settle score

I could take you out in the afternoon

Dodge the sharks as we swim to the pontoon

I know it’s a metaphor

I know we are still on shore

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 are still on shore

You sit outside at home expecting I’ll be driving round

I came to pick you up so you can try and let me, let me down

It’s so annoying how you hate to 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 sharks as we swim to the pontoon

I know it’s a metaphor

I know we are still on shore

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 are still on shore
