Push Me Away
It's cold outside, in the darkness,
You're in London, I'm in Perth,
You're with a guy and I'm with a girl,
Her and I are playing chess, you and him are starkers,
But you and I are both unhappy, all because you pushed me away.

I crept towards you, in the darkness,
You're inside and I'm in the bushes,
I'm lying on thorns while you're lying on cushions,
Her and I are playing chess, you and him are starkers,
But you and I are both unhappy, all because you pushed me away.

Chorus
We both wanted friendship, but you pushed me away,
My shirts were unironed and I asked you to stay,
Alone in this world, I clung to your hand,
You pushed me away, now I can hardly stand,
You and I are like two continents,
Yeah, it was you who pushed me away.

I look at you, through the darkness,
I make a move and you back away,
We go through this every single day,
Her and I are playing chess, you and him are starkers,
But you and I are both unhappy, all because you pushed me away.

Chorus

I peer in your heart, I see the darkness,
You hurt me and I don't understand,
Why nothing in life, ever goes to plan,
Her and I are on a bridge, you and him are starkers,
But you and I are both unhappy, all because you pushed me away.

Chorus

From inside my mind, comes the darkness,
Now I get what you tried to do,
I'll forgive you, will you forgive me too,
Now she's standing, alone on a bridge, You and him are starkers,
Of you and I, only you're unhappy, I wish, I had pushed you away.

  I began this song on the 27th of June 2002 and finished it the morning after as I sat at Caringbah Maccas, I was very, very cold. Whether or not this song was written for someone, or because of someone, I'm really not sure. Well, I'd like certain people to read it, but they weren't my motivation behind writing this song. Actually, there was someone I had in mind when I wrote this, I doubt they'll ever bother reading this, and if they do they probably won't understand why it is about them, in fact, I doubt they'd get that far.. But yeah, I don't even know whether I want them to get it, maybe this is my cowardly way of telling them about my contempt, maybe it's my way of avoiding their wrath - some sort of passive, aggressive .. oh shit, I had an interview with the principal today that I completely forgot about.
