push/pull/push/stay

i like where we're going, we're in the same book

but right now we're not on the same page.

we're young and we're ruthless, it aint entertaining

i've experienced much at this age

 

you push and i pull

then i push and you stay

 

the corners are dogeared

the pages are yellowed

the cover is filthy and stained

the bandages wrapped up around the old volumes

are ready to be torn away

 

you push and i pull

then i push and you stay

 

i'm walking, you're watching

i'm kissing your fingers

eyes kiss lids then i kiss a ways

i kiss all the lips off of state store products

so that you won't ruin my day.

 

you push and i pull

then i push and you stay

 

so you're hanging up others' dresses?

well i'm still hung up on guessing

how much to give and to take

you catch my eye,

i blush and i shiver.

look at this fool you helped make.

 

now i push and you pull

then you push and i stay
