  • 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

    For some want to see right through all the false alarms I've pulled
    For some want to stand their ground when I start to tear them down
    Someone to outlast the home, that hold me back
    For someone to make it past the guards of a cynical hearts
    Sick, sick of singing now

    Oh, I always jump ship
    We are closer than I've ever been
    I said we stay in the fire
    And hope we can burn our way out (oh)
    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

    For someone to call me out when I start to run my mouth
    For someone to talk me down of ledges that I have found
    Someone to hold me close when I'm screaming to let go
    For someone to make it past the guards of a cynical hearts
    Sick, sick of singing now

    Oh, I always jump ship
    We are closer than I've ever been
    I said we stay in the fire
    And hope we can burn our way out (oh)
    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

    I know that it's not fair to think that you'll still be there
    I know that it's not fair (all my life, all my life, all my life)
    But if you leave when the pattern repeats
    I'm pushing you away but that's not what I mean
    Oh I'm ashamed that I cannot believe
    That this is what it takes just to get close to me
    Is this what it takes just to get close to me?

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

    Oh, I always jump ship
    We are closer than I've ever been
    I said we stay in the fire
    And hope we can burn our way out (oh)
    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 Writer/s: Andrew Grammer, Ryan Metzger
