Dreaming in Metaphors - Alternate Version

Love serenade

Soothe me with morning sun

Help me find someone

Peaceful and non-judgmental

Hole in my back

And make me feel whole with

Life

And stay the same

With life

We'll ease the pain

Why must we dream in metaphors

When trying to hold on to something

We couldn't understand?

Couldn't understand

And why must we argue loudly

When pieces of one's salvation

I couldn't understand?

I just couldn't understand, yeah

Someone lost their faith

In seeking God

So they turn to the needle

Back to the cradle

Where they were rocking it all too long

Tell her what's going on with

Her life

And stay the same

Why must we dream in metaphors

When trying to hold on to something

We couldn't understand?

Couldn't understand

And why must we argue loudly

When pieces of one's salvation

I couldn't understand?

I could never understand, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

You know that your life

Will stay the same

Life

Will ease the pain

Why must we dream in metaphors

When trying to hold on to something

We couldn't understand?

We could never understand

I don't want to argue loudly

'Cause pieces of one's salvation

Now that I understand

I can truly understand, yeah

Why must we dream (In metaphors)

When trying to hold on to something lost?

Something lost

I don't want to argue loudly

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La, la, la-da-da-da-da
