Push Me out to Sea
Sailing Away: Embracing Freedom and Letting Love Drift
Lyrics
Push me out to sea, baby
Expressing a desire to be cast into the sea.
It's the best thing for us both
Believing that being separated is beneficial for both individuals.
I'll be happy out there, baby
Anticipating happiness in the solitude of the sea.
Fish below and stars above
Imagining the underwater world and the celestial beauty above.
And you'll be happier without me
Suggesting that the partner will find greater happiness without the speaker.
Push me out to sea, baby
Reiterating the plea to be pushed into the sea.
There's nothing left for you to do
Acknowledging that there's nothing more to be done in the relationship.
We did our best with our love, baby
Recognizing the efforts put into their love but acknowledging its negative impact.
But it brought us down so low
Highlighting how their love led to a significant low point.
And you'll be happier without me
Repeating the idea that separation will bring greater happiness.
I'll wash up on your beach one morning
Imagining a scenario where the speaker returns in a changed form.
A strange shell lying on the shore
Describing the speaker as a unique discovery on the shore.
You'll put me to your ear and I'll whisper
Envisioning the partner listening to the transformed speaker's words.
What today I just can't say
Hinting at the difficulty of expressing current emotions.
Then you'll throw me back into the water
Expecting to be returned to the sea after a brief interaction.
And forget you ever found me
Suggesting a desire for the partner to move on and forget.
And forget you ever lost me
Emphasizing the hope to be forgotten and left behind.
Push me out to sea, baby
Repeating the theme of being pushed into the sea for mutual benefit.
It's the best thing for us both
Affirming the belief that separation is the best course of action.
I'll be happy out there, baby
Expressing optimism about finding happiness in the vastness of the sea.
Fish below and stars above
Imagining the beauty of marine life below and the celestial display above.
And you'll be happier without me
Reiterating the belief that the partner will be happier without the speaker.
