“Push” is a song about drawing someone closer so you can be the one to push them away and have control of the situation.
[Verse 1]
Hold me down under the water
You know well that I can't swim
I'm not tryna be a martyr
Know that I won't let you in
Safe and warm inside myself
But you need more than someone else
[Chorus]
You need space, you need time
You take yours and I'll take mine
Come closer, so I can be the one to push
It's not me, it's just you
It doesn't mean shit when it falls through, come closer
So I can be the one to push you
The one to push
[Verse 2]
Hold me tight enough to kill me
Bite my tongue so I can't speak
Clip my wings so I can't fly
Bury me deep, but I won’t die
Was it worth it? (Worth it, worth it)
[Chorus]
You need space, you need time
You take yours and I'll take mine
Come closer (Closer), so I can be the one to push
It's not me, it's just you
It doesn't mean shit when it falls through, come closer (Closer)
So I can be the one to push you (Push you)
The one to push you (Push you)
[Bridge]
Guess I needed you enough not to notice
Guess I wanted you enough to lie
You wear so many faces, I should have known it
But that sure was a beautiful disguise
[Chorus]
You need space, you need time
You take yours and I'll take mine
Come closer, so I can be the one to push
It's not me, it's just you
It doesn't mean shit when it falls through, come closer (Closer)
So I can be the one to push you (Push you)
Yeah
The one to push you (Push you)
The one to push you
[Outro]
Put our game in the past
We make love and we attack, let me hold you
So you can be the one to push back
