Pushing You Away

Let’s start a fire
Get lost in flames
Wanna make you higher than you’ve ever been
But your eyes are too fickle
They see what they say

And your heart is a blinker
Turning away

Let’s start a choir
A tone deaf prayer
I wanna take you to that beautiful somewhere
But your feet are too homeschooled
They learned where they stay

And your heart is a blinker
Turning away

I know I’m pushing my luck
Bad as it may be
I’m pushing you away from me
Chasing love down a dead-end street
I’m pushing you away from me

Let’s start a wire
A late-night connection
Mix our desire with a curious affection
But your hands are a mirror
They mimic anyway

And your heart is a blinker
Turning away

I know I’m pushing my luck
Bad as it may be
I’m pushing you away from me
Chasing love down a dead-end street
I’m pushing you away from me
Pushing you away from me

Chasing love to the edge
You’re gonna turn on me
I’m after something
Following my heart to your heart
To the darkest part of the city

Let’s make a movie
A tacky matinee
Wanna tell you what you do
But I can’t convey
And your ears are impressionable
They like what I say

While your heart is a blinker
Turning away

I know I’m pushing my luck
Bad as it may be
I’m pushing you away from me
Chasing love down a dead-end street
I’m pushing you away from me
Pushing you away from me
Pushing you away from me
