metaphors

Keaton Henson

Your features defy all metaphor
And I m the king of those
Your hair is too pretty to be compared to a city
So I ll leave it out of all my prose

And your eyes are unlike any ocean
That I have ever seen
Unlike any jewels
They break the writing rules
And I am trying to keep this song clean

And not to mention
Despite pretension
You are infinitely interesting to me
It s so unexpected
My heart feels unprotected
I m so thankful for that way you look at me, me

And everything that you say is a poem
And I m hooked on every word
Your mouth speaks no lies
It needs to alibis
And not one single word is slurred

And I love that you talk about dylan
And all the books you read
I know you so well, didn t notice any spell
But you seem to be taking the lead

And not to mention
Despite pretension
You are infinitely interesting to me
It s so unexpected
My heart feels unprotected
I m just thankful for that way you look at me
