Where U R
Reaction 7 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm trying to remember you
Just how it was with us
So very long ago
You went to college and I went to war
You never wrote back and I never heard more
I saw your old girlfriend yesterday
And now I wonder, wonder, where you are right now
It's been so long
I can't get over you
All the special things we did
So very long ago
You went to college and I went to war
You never wrote back and I never heard more
I saw your old girlfriend yesterday
She only told me that you moved away
And now I wonder, wonder, where you are right now
I still wonder where you are
I still wonder where you are

A tackle would take your whole body, whereas your arms will obviously get to a person first. If you don’t know how much time you have or how close the danger actually is, most people will push. The momentum is also different, where a push would send someone farther, whereas a tackle would end the person up around the place you would’ve fallen, which might not be to safety (For that, I’m specifically thinking of the anime, or really fiction in general, cliche when you push someone out of the way of a car. If you tackled in that situation, odds are you’d both get run over, which is probably worse than if you just let them get hit by the front) Basically, pushing is the more desperate save, which raises the likelihood that you actually get the person far away from danger. Thanks for coming to my TED talk about pushing v. tackling.
