Dave Herring - We're Just an Idiom Lyrics

You could have your cake and eat it too
Wish upon a star, have it come true
You could talk out of both sides of your mouth
Chew up a heart and spit it out

But when you see eye to eye
Head over heels
And go for broke
To make it real

You can have a penny for your thoughts
Keep the ball in your own court
Take it with a grain of salt
Make it last the whole nine yards
It could be a blessing in disguise
Divide a house but it will stand
Oh, we're just an idiom

You can bite off more than you can chew
You can hold her like the moon is blue
You can judge the cover by the book
And maybe wish the fish had never hooked

But walk out on the limb
Knock on wood
And break a leg
Where fortune stood

The saddest thought I think I'll know
I found out our jewel is fools gold
