Pushing

[Hook]

I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life

I've been pushing all my life

I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life

I've been pushing all my life

[Verse 1]

For someone to see right through

All the false alarms I pull

For someone to stand their ground

When I start to tear them down

For someone to outlast

The hold ups that hold me back

For someone to make it past

The guards of a cynical heart, si-singing out

[Chorus]

Oh, I always jump ship

But we are closer than I've ever been

I say we stay in the fire

And hope we can burn our way out

The road to my heart gets hot as hell

[Hook]

I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life

I've been pushing all my life

I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life

I've been pushing all my life

[Verse 2]

For someone to call me out

When I start to run my mouth

For someone to talk me down

Off ledges that I have found

For someone to hold me close

When I'm screaming to let go

For someone to make it past

The guards of a cynical heart, si-singing out

[Chorus]

Oh, I always jump ship

But we are closer than I've ever been

I say we stay in the fire

And hope we can burn our way out

The road to my heart gets hot as hell

I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life

I've been pushing all my life

I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life

I've been pushing all my life

[Bridge]

I know that it's not fair

To think that you'll still be there

I know that it's not fair

But if you leave well the pattern repeats

I'm pushing you away but that's not what I mean

Oh, I'm ashamed and I cannot believe

That this is what it take just to get close to me

Is this what it takes just to get close to me

Oh, I always jump ship

But we are closer than I've ever been

[Chorus]

Oh, I always jump ship

But we are closer than I've ever been

I say we stay in the fire

And hope we can burn our way out

The road to my heart gets hot as hell

[Hook]

I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life

I've been pushing all my life

I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life

I've been pushing all my life
