Metaphor MP3: 2045KB

 One of the songs written at the High Sierra Songwriter Workshop and the only one that I actually intended to write before I got there. It could go on forever, really.

Lyrics: 

There is no metaphor for our love
It's not a highway, no one else gets on or off
There is no metaphor for our love
It's not the weather, it don't take no big computer to predict

There is no metaphor for our love
It's not a journey, every journey has an end
There is no metaphor for our love
It's not a football game, we don't just play on weekends, and everybody wins

Doesn't fit like a glove, there's no lock, there's no key
There's no house there at all,
It's just the way I know you, and the way you know me

There is no metaphor for our love
It's not a mystery, there's no villain and no sidekickxd
There is no metaphor for our love
It's not a mountain, I can clearly see what's on the other side

Doesn't burn like a fire, There's no coat, there's no shoe
It's just as cool as it's hot,
It's just the way you know me, And the way I know you

Note: the following are impromptu lyrics from crowd suggestions at
shows, open mics, etc.

There is no metaphor for our love.
It's not like coffee it don't keep us up at night.
There is no metaphor for our love.
It's not Snakes on a Plane because no one comes to see it.

There is no metaphor for our love.
It's no avocado, there's no ugly skin to peel
There is no metaphor for our love.
It isn't sushi, our love is fully baked

There is no metaphor for our love.
Maybe there's a simile
Our love is like this song
