“Pushing Me Away” is the first track on A Father & Two Sons, an EP based on the parable of the prodigal son. This song is meant to be sung from the perspective of “the magnanimous father, selling off his inheritance to bless his two ungrateful sons.”
[Verse 1]
You told me that you'd love me forever
You said you want me near
But now I'm taking a number
'Cause you gone up and disappeared
You gone up and disappeared
[Chorus]
Why you pushing me away?
Why you pushing me away?
Why you pushing me away?
[Verse 2]
I've been waiting for you to want me
Let me love your broken heart
But you've been runnin', runnin' like the tides
Pull me in then back to the start
Yeah, you pull me in then push us apart
[Chorus]
Why you pushing me away?
Why you pushing me away?
Why you pushing me away?
Why you pushing me away?
[Bridge]
Pawning my inheritance
To give you what you're looking for
And when you got nothing left
I'll give you even more
[Refrain]
Why you pushing me away?
[Chorus]
Why you pushing me away?
Why you pushing me away?
Why you pushing me away?
Why you pushing me away?
