Push
Serial Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing in the corner of my mind
I try to run but I'm so far behind
I don't know the meaning of this life anyway
I try to find a way to get around this place

I'm gonna face this head on
I'm gonna push until these chains are gone
Step into the doorway of this hole where I reside
I kick the wall down step to the other side
I need the feeling of your calm embrace
I try to find the way to get around this





I'm gonna face this head on
I'm gonna push until these chains are gone
