Both of these metaphors are from the song “Everything” by Michael Buble. The entire song is basically a string of metaphors, but I’ll just pick two from the first verse. Here are the lyrics: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/michaelbuble/everything.html
In the first verse, he lists out things that his girlfriend/wife/whoever is to him, but they are each metaphors. The person is not literally a falling star, a getaway car, or a swimming pool on an August day, but those things represent qualities that she possesses to him. These are not examples of how metaphors are usually used in songs and poems, where the artist/author will use more of an extended style, making one comparison and sticking to it. This is more of a listing style in order to demonstrate more than one quality in this person.
