Carrie Newcomer - Don't Push Send lyrics

This is a story, a very sad tale Of intrigue, romance and electronic mail A dangerous form of information And the perils of instant gratification How many times did I hit my Mac Want to crawl inside and take the whole thing back But it's no use say it again and again Don't push send Carol wrote about the job's frustrations What drove her crazy with aggravation A list of every person's faults With precise and pithy, wry insults She sent it off to her best friend But saw with horror as she pushed send She hit the keys and began to roar She'd copied the entire office floor So don't push send Don't push send There things that you can never quite amend I tell myself again and again Don't push send Katherine wrote a note to her husband Ben Using their pet names and vowing devotion She said meet me at home in a little while I'll be there waiting, wearing nothing but a smile But she got her answer from his great granddad Lee saying "I don't think that this was meant for me It was nice, but I think it was for my grandson, it's been Years since anybody called me sugar buns" Don't push send Don't push send There things that you can never quite amend I tell myself again and again Don't push send The day was tough, the week had really been something Jane got a letter that pushed her bu*tons She shot back as if her words were guns Capitalizing every single one Well she should have waited, she should know E-mail doesn't mix with merlot She had to write back as you could guess Plead e-mail recklessness and PMS Well don't push send Don't push send There things that you can never quite amend I tell myself again and again Don't push send Just stop and think when I'm on the brink Walk away from my computer Cause you can guess how we'll regret And feel like such a loser After opposing counsel had acted like jerks Joe got a letter from his partner at work He meant to make changes, cut and paste But sent it off in his efficient haste Well he tried to delete, he tried to get back the note But the letter had flown and that was all she wrote The message was polite with professional cla** But the subject line still said "what an a**" Well don't push send Don't push send There things that you can never quite amend I tell myself again and again Don't push send Don't push send Don't push send
