Steemit Open Mic Week 67 - Push & Pull (Original) by William Sage

I wrote this song for my wife last Christmas. It's a love song about attachment theory. Hope you guys like it.

Lyrics:

I used to push you away, Push and push every day. It was the air that I breathed, too scared to have you see
How much, just how much you meant, to me.
It used to be when you’d pull, It’d be intolerable. And I’d push to keep some space, Trying to feel safe
It was the dance, yeah the dance, of our love

Chorus:
But if I keep pushing you, Like I pushed the other few I’ll end up old and alone
And if you keep pulling me So hard, the door’s all I can see I’ll end up old and alone
Better to open up my heart, Let you in and make another start, you’re in my sweetheart
Cause to truly love you my dear I’ll pull you close and stay right here Sublimate my fear into love
Cause anything else, would be a crime, Against our love

And once I stopped with the push, You stopped with the pull. And now we’re right where we are, Connected by the heart
I want to be, your forever, sweetheart

I’m done pushing you, like I pushed the other few, let’s grow old you’re my home. And if you stop pulling me, I’ll shut the door and never leave. Let’s grow old, I’m your home
It’s better living with an open heart, we can always make another start, let’s grow old, you’re my home. Cause to truly love you my dear I’ll pull you close and stay right here Sublimate my fear into love
Cause anything else, would be a crime, Against our love

I’ll show you all of me, sweet parts only you have seen. Give you the keys to my heart, tell you what I need
Love and build, from now till we’re 150
