lyrics

I like you like a poet likes similes
I like you like you didnt like me at first
because you had to tell me twice that your real name is Emily
I like you like I myself now that you've helped me discover my identity

I like you like a poet likes metaphors
I like how you're a butterfly telling caterpillars what cocoons are for
I like how you're a blanket when you hold me from behind
I like how you asked me if I was sure I didn't mind

I like you like a poet likes personification
I liked how the bed screamed out with each pulsating gyration
And then hummed when we were done
as if it was in a state of meditation

Emily I love you like a poet loves figurative language
Bringing beautiful new meanings to old hackneyed anguish
