Dreaming In Metaphors

(album: Seal - 1994)

Love serenade,
Soothe me with the morning sun.
Help me find someone,
Peaceful and non-judgemental.
Holding me back,
And make me feel whole with life.
And stay the same.
Life.
Without the pain.
Why must we dream in metaphors?
Try to hold on to something we couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand.
And why must we argue loudly?
When peace is our one salvation.
I couldn't understand
Couldn't understand
Yeah...
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Someone lost their faith in, seeking God so they.
Turn to the needle, back to the cradle. They were...
Rocking it all too long.
Tell me what's going on with your life.
Has it stayed the same?
Well why do we dream in metaphors?
Try to hold on to something we couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand.
Tell me why must we argue loudly? When peace is our one,
Salvation I couldn't understand
Couldn't understand
Yeah
Oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh oh ohhh...
Life will always stay the same
Life stay the same
Life will ease your pain
...life without no......pain or shame...
Why must we dream in metaphors?
We're trying to hold on to something we couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand
Tell me why must we argue loudly when peace is our one
Salvation I couldn't understand
Couldn't understand
Now why must we dream in metaphors
Something gets lost
...couldn't understand stand stand, I couldn't understand.
And you know I know I couldn't understand I just couldn't understand.
...Couldn't understand stand stand, I couldn't understand.
And you know I couldn't understand, I just couldn't understand.
Couldn't understand stand stand,
I couldn't understand
And you know I know I couldn't understand,
I just couldn't understand
Couldn't understand stand stand,
I couldn't understand
And you know I know I couldn't understand,
I just couldn't understand
Couldn't understand stand stand,
I couldn't understand
And you know I know I couldn't understand,
I just...
