Push & Pull

Mr. Nothing's got a lot

He's got a lot to say

He's good at being what he's not

Gives nothing away

Another day goes on by

And he never speaks his heart

He takes his chance with what he's got

It's too late now to stop

You push and you pull and struggle with the knot

It's tying you up while you're fadin'

You give and you take and take what you got

Round and round 'till it breaks and

You push and you pull and struggle with the knot

It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie

Mr. Nothing is late

He's running out of time

He questions whether chance or fate will ever show a sign

Looks to the sky above

For a glimpse of what it means

And never never never make

Make no sense to him

You push and you pull and struggle with the knot

It's tying you up while you're fadin'

You give and you take and take what you got

Round and round 'till it breaks and

You push and you pull and struggle with the knot

It's tying you up while you're fadin' into your lie

You push and you pull it
