Push It

(S. A. J. Duffy)

A break in the chain

A ring down a drain

With no-one to blame

For only I came

Why oh why

Did I ever ask you

Why oh why

Do you know why you couldn’t see it through

I guess you have to find what you can’t do

And push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Catch me if you can

It’s always the same

It starts as a game

Ends in a scream

Of love’s academe

Why oh why

Can’t you help yourself

And try to understand yourself

Your love is always engineered

Your soft spots never volunteered

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Catch me if you can

Our courtship lovingly oblique

Like “on the road” meets “holy week”

Prostrate on a hotel bed

We talked about the books we’ve read

Push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it

Come on, catch me if you can

Push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

Push it

Come on, catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

You push it push it

Catch me if you can

You push it push it
