Pushing

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 For some want to see right through all the false alarms I've pulled For some want to stand their ground when I start to tear them down Someone to outlast the home, that hold me back For someone to make it past the guards of a cynical hearts Sick, sick of singing now Oh, I always jump ship We are closer than I've ever been I said we stay in the fire And hope we can burn our way out (oh) 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 For someone to call me out when I start to run my mouth For someone to talk me down of ledges that I have found Someone to hold me close when I'm screaming to let go For someone to make it past the guards of a cynical hearts Sick, sick of singing now Oh, I always jump ship We are closer than I've ever been I said we stay in the fire And hope we can burn our way out (oh) 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 I know that it's not fair to think that you'll still be there I know that it's not fair (all my life, all my life, all my life) But if you leave when the pattern repeats I'm pushing you away but that's not what I mean Oh I'm ashamed that I cannot believe That this is what it takes just to get close to me Is this what it takes just to get close to me? Oh, I always jump ship We are closer than I've ever been Oh, I always jump ship We are closer than I've ever been I said we stay in the fire And hope we can burn our way out (oh) 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 --- Pushing - Andy Grammer
