Push & Shove (To Give My Love)

Something I jotted down pretty quickly last night. Inspired by one line from a Lindsey Buckingham song.



Never knew someone so willing to lose until I met you
Got to keep a cover on that wild, wild heart
Could lose the best love of your time
You might never know because you’re buckled in tight
The parachute’s on and you’re holding on for dear life
Every danger amplified
The sweetest little kitten is a tiger in your eyes
The shortest jump is the longest fall before you’ve even tried

And I’m left to fight
I’m left to crawl
I’m left to push and shove to give you my love at all

One mistake and I’m the devil in disguise
Subconscious beast, my sweet demise
What I’ve done I’ll forever regret
And you’re never gonna let me forget
But I’ve got the desire of the worst kind
I haven’t given up
No not quite, not yet

So I’m left to fight
I’m left to crawl
I’m left to push and shove to give you my love at all
Oh, to give my love at all

Never knew someone so willing to lose 'til I met you
Got to keep a cover on that wild, wild heart
Could lose the best love of your life

Oh, I’m left to fight
Left to crawl
Gonna lose the best love of all
Maybe the worst, something in between
How ya gonna know if you’re unwilling to fall

Yeah, gonna lose the best love of all
Well, could be the worst or something in between
How ya gonna know if you’re unwilling to fall

Sweet lyrics. Do you also play guitar or something too? Which Lindsey song? Right now I'm loving Wait for You off his most recent album and Bleed to Love Her.

Thanks! I do play guitar a little, but so badly I don't think I can yet say I "play." This was also inspired by some real life happenings, but the song was "Bang The Drum" especially for the line, "Surprised to find someone willing to lose / Just to keep herself from falling apart." Also, great songs you mentioned. I've been enjoying his last album a lot along with my favorite songs: Trouble and Go Insane.
