Push Lyrics
Hold me down under the water
You know well that I can't swim
I'm not trying to be a martyr
Know that I won't let you in
Safe and warm inside myself
But you need more than someone else
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
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?
Was it worth it?
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 (push you)
The one to push you (push you)
Guess I needed you enough not to notice
Guess I wanted you enough to lie
There's so many faces, I should've known it
But that sure was a beautiful disguise
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 (push you, yeah)
The one to push you (push you)
The one to push you
In our game with the pass
We may love and we attack
Let me hold you so you can be the one to push back
You know well that I can't swim
I'm not trying to be a martyr
Know that I won't let you in
Safe and warm inside myself
But you need more than someone else
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
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?
Was it worth it?
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 (push you)
The one to push you (push you)
Guess I wanted you enough to lie
There's so many faces, I should've known it
But that sure was a beautiful disguise
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 (push you, yeah)
The one to push you (push you)
The one to push you
We may love and we attack
Let me hold you so you can be the one to push back

I think this song is about him feeling out of control of his relationship and that his partner has all the control - she "wears the pants". She has now said she wants a break between them but he wants to be the one who has the say in their relationship.
It's about needing to be closer with someone so you can have your closure. That might sound weird, but it makes perfect sense to me.
I wouldn't want to let someone go without getting to know them completely, especially if I care about them. If I don't get close to the person & I walk away from the relationship, I might be left regretting or wondering what might have been. That's why it makes sense to get close with the person before leaving them so you can understand why this person isn't the one for you, and then you can push them out of your life and mind without any regrets.
I couldn't just get up and walk away from the guy (who I knew wasn't the one for me) because deep down, I still liked him. The more we talked and got closer, I was able to see him for what he was, and it was enough to for me to "push" him out of my life. Sometimes you need to get closer so you can see the truth & then walk away when you fully understand that the truth was just bad news. He was bad news.
