[Hook x2]
I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life
I've been pushing all my life

[Verse 1]
For someone to see right through
All the false alarms I pull
For someone to stand their ground
When I start to tear them down
For someone to outlast
The hold ups that hold me back
For someone to make it past
The guards of a cynical heart, si-singing out

[Chorus]
Oh, I always jump ship
But we are closer than I've ever been
I say we stay in the fire
And hope we can burn our way out
The road to my heart gets hot as hell

[Hook x2]

[Verse 2]
For someone to call me out
When I start to run my mouth
For someone to talk me own
Off ledges that I have found
For someone to hold me close
When I'm screaming to let go
For someone to make it past
The guards of a cynical heart, si-singing out

[Chorus]

[Hook x2]

[Bridge]
I know that it's not fair
To think that you'll still be there
I know that it's not fair
But if you leave well the pattern repeats
I'm pushing you away but that's not what I mean
Oh, I'm ashamed and I cannot believe
That this is what it take just to get close to me
Is this what it takes just to get close to me

Oh, I always jump ship
But we are closer than I've ever been

[Chorus]

[Hook x2]
