Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm chasing you
I'm on your tail, I'm gaining fast
You're going nowhere
Try to fix what you've done
Turn back the sun
The night is calling and we're falling faster now
Every last word, every single thing you say
Pushing me away
Try to stop me now, but it's already too late
Pushing me away
If you really don't care, then say it to my face
Pushing me away
You push, push, you're pushing me away
Stop, tell me the truth
Cause I'm so confused
Spinning 'round, these walls are falling down and I need you
More than you know
I'm not letting go
I'm getting close, so take my hand
And please just tell me why
Pushing me away
Every last word, every single thing you say
Pushing me away
Try to stop me now, but it's already too late
Pushing me away
If you really don't care, then say it to my face
Pushing me away
You push, push, you're pushing me away
Push, push, pushing me away
Ya push, push, pushing me away
Push, push, pushing me away
Ya push, push, pushing me away
Ya push, push, pushing me away
Ya push, push, pushing me away
Ya push, push, pushing me away
Oh!
Pushing me away
Every last word, every single thing you say
Pushing me away
Try to stop me now, but it's already too late
Pushing me away
If you really don't care, then say it to my face
Pushing me away
You push, push, you're pushing me away
Pushing me away
The opening lyrics of Jonas Brothers' song, Pushin' Me Away, describe a chase between the singer and the person they are pursuing. The fast pace of the music reflects the urgency of the pursuit, and the sense that time is running out. The chorus reveals that the subject of the chase is, in fact, pushing the singer away, both physically and emotionally. The singer is desperate to understand why they are being rejected, and pleads with their partner to be honest with them.
As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the singer's confusion and pain are caused by the mixed messages they are receiving from their partner. The walls are closing in around them, and they feel like they are losing the person they love. The chorus is repeated, with the emphasis on the idea that the singer is being pushed away, despite their best efforts to hold on.
Overall, Pushin' Me Away is a classic breakup song, with a strong emphasis on the emotional turmoil and sense of rejection that comes with the end of a relationship. While the lyrics are relatively simple, they capture the complex emotional landscape of a broken heart, and the sense of desperation that comes with trying to hold onto someone who doesn't want to be held.
