[Hook] I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life I've been pushing all my life 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] I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life I've been pushing all my life I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life I've been pushing all my life [Verse 2] For someone to call me out When I start to run my mouth For someone to talk me down 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] 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 I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life I've been pushing all my life I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life I've been pushing all my life [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] 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] I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life I've been pushing all my life I've been pushing all my life, all my life, all my life I've been pushing all my life
