Metaphors

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 5]
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

[Chorus]
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
