Love serenade
Soothe me with the morning sun
Help me find someone
Peaceful and non-judgmental
Holdin' 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
Ohh
Ohh
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
Ohh
Ohh
Life will always stay the same
Life will ease your pain
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 that's lost
Couldn't understand stand stand
I couldn't understand
And you know I know I couldn't understand
I just couldn't understand
