Push
★Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're starting to get on my nerves
This is exactly what happened last time
And it's not what we deserve
It's a, a waste of my time lately
And I'm running out of words
If it's really meant to be
And maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Love
Love
Love
It's really great to be with you
This is how I spend my life
But I'm capable of taking care of myself
So if you fuck this up then go take a hike
It's a waste of my time
Shakin' it up,
Goin' out to search if it's really meant to be
Then you could find a way to see
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
You and me
We can both start over
Just the two of us
We can get a little closer
So follow me
Honestly
And you will see, yeah
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love
Love
Love
Love
In “Push”, Avril Lavigne talks about a relationship that is getting complicated and difficult to handle.

She expresses her frustration towards her partner for not being able to communicate as effectively as she does, and for not understanding what love truly means. She feels like the relationship is a waste of time and words, and she needs her partner to step up and see things from her point of view.
However, amidst all this frustration and resentment, she declares that love is worth fighting for, and that when push comes to shove, it is going to take the both of them to work things out. She is capable of taking care of herself but wants her partner to follow her and understand her perspective. Through this song, Avril Lavigne talks about how relationships can be complicated, but if there is love, then it is always worth fighting for, and the two partners involved should always work together and find a way to make things work.
Overall, "Push” is a powerful and emotional song that talks about the challenges of love and relationships—how they can be frustrating and difficult, but ultimately, worth fighting for.
