Metaphorically Yours by Ed Harcourt
taken from the album 'From Every Sphere'
Original song is slightly sharp.
Oh baby can't you see
/
when you get mad at me
your eyes light up your face
Oh baby, just admit
/
if both my wrists were slit
you'd bandage them with style and grace
And it's not over
I don't think that it will be
and we are joined at the hip like Siamese twins
and that's a metaphor
for the feelings that I store
I confess I love you so
I confess I love you so
I confess I love you so
but you know
With you I'm never bored
/
yes ma’am, you strike a chord
that makes me shiver and mumble
I'm chomping at the bit
/
I need my daily fix
or my whole world will crumble
And it's not over
I don't think that it will be
and we are joined at the hip like Siamese twins
and that's a metaphor
for the feelings that I store
I confess I love you so
I confess I love you so
I confess I love you so
but you know
Come wrap your arms around
/
the man who's back in town
and loves to watch you smile
Don't know if I should laugh or cry
/
with you sleeping by my side
I hear the silence for miles
And it's not over
I don't think that it will be
and we are joined at the hip like Siamese twins
and that's a metaphor
for the feelings that I store
I confess I love you so
I confess I love you so
I confess I love you so
but you know
