Metaphors
San Cisco

Verse 1:

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah, ay ah

I'll be waiting out here,

Waiting at your door

If you want it I could try and get you little, little more

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah, ay ah

I'll break a promise that I made to you yesterday

I'll never hide from you or ever try to run-run away

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

I wrote a letter when I met her and torn out the page

I threw it in a box and threw it somewhere far, far away

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

You tell me secrets and you tell me that you want some more

It's not up to me to try and help you settle, settle score

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Chorus:

I could take you out in the afternoon

Dodge the sharks as we swim to the pontoon

I know-oh-oh-oh it's a metaphor,

I know-oh-oh-oh we're still on shore,

Light a fire in our lifeboat

Just to keep warm but we won't stay afloat

I know-oh-oh-oh it's a metaphor,

I know-oh-oh-oh we're still on shore,

Sit-sat at home expecting I'll be driving round

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

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

It's so annoying how you hated, put yourself in pain

It's disappointing cause it's just a made-up little, little game

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Ah, oh, oh, oh ay ah

Chorus:

I could take you out in the afternoon

Dodge the sharks as we swim to the pontoon

I know-oh-oh-oh it's a metaphor,

I know-oh-oh-oh we're still on shore

Light a fire in our lifeboat

Just to keep warm but we won't stay afloat

I know-oh-oh-oh it's a metaphor,

I know-oh-oh-oh we're still on shore
