Push
Navigating Love's Tug of War: Push and Pull Emotions
Lyrics
Heartbeat: I’m walkin’ the line and tryin’ to believe
Expressing the struggle of maintaining balance in a relationship and trying to believe in it.
And all I ask is don’t leave, ’cause every time I feel you run to me, then you hide
Asking the partner not to leave and expressing the frustration when they seem distant after coming close.
When I wanna dream, you wake me up
Describing a situation where dreams or aspirations are interrupted by the partner.
When I wanna leave, you knock me off my feet, in spite of me
Highlighting the contradictory actions of the partner, hindering attempts to leave despite personal intentions.
When I wanna scream, you cut me off
Expressing frustration when trying to express oneself (scream) but being cut off by the partner.
I wanna believe that this was meant to be
Expressing a desire to believe that the relationship is destined or meant to be.
But I can’t take the push, pull
Expressing difficulty coping with the conflicting dynamics of a relationship, the push and pull.
You take what you give; it doesn’t ever change, always the same
Observing that what is given in the relationship remains constant, never changing.
You always get me hot then cold
Noting the partner's inconsistency in behavior, going from making the speaker feel passionate to cold.
You’re makin’ me wish that I had never came to play your game
Expressing regret and wishing the speaker had never entered the game of the relationship.
