[Verse 1]
You say my name like a threat
I say it back like a prayer
We build a wall in the room
Then we both climb up the stairs
You act cold, I act colder
Same bruise, different skin
We slam the door for the moment
Then we slip right back in
Got your texts on read
Got my pride in the way
We both say "walk away"
Then we both stay
You want proof in my eyes
I want proof in your hands
We keep breaking the trust
Just to feel where we stand
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you’re done, then you call
I’m the first on your mind
I swear I’m leaving for good
Then I circle back in time
No room for "maybe"
No room for "stay"
Still we reach for the fire
Even burned the same way
[Chorus]
Push me away, pull me back
(push me away)
Love in the dark, we stay attached
(pull me back)
Both of us hurt, both of us cracked
We need a sign
We need a sign
Push me away, pull me back
(push me away)
Nothing feels safe, but we come back fast
(pull me back)
Both of us hurt, both of us cracked
We need a sign
We need a sign
[Verse 2]
You keep your heart in a lockbox
I keep mine in my fist
We argue loud in the hallway
Then we kiss like this
Like we’re trying to erase
Every word that we said
But the silence got teeth
And it lives in our heads
I hate how you leave
Then I hate how I wait
You hate when I shut down
Then I do it again
We don’t know reassurance
We just know how to test
Both of us asking for love
Both of us failing the rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Say you’re done, then you call
I’m the first on your mind
I swear I’m leaving for good
Then I circle back in time
No room for "maybe"
No room for "stay"
Still we reach for the fire
Even burned the same way
[Chorus]
Push me away, pull me back
(push me away)
Love in the dark, we stay attached
(pull me back)
Both of us hurt, both of us cracked
We need a sign
We need a sign
Push me away, pull me back
(push me away)
Nothing feels safe, but we come back fast
(pull me back)
Both of us hurt, both of us cracked
We need a sign
We need a sign
[Bridge]
Maybe we don’t need to win
Maybe we need to be clear
Say the fear out loud
Say the wound is here
If you leave, don’t leave halfway
If you stay, don’t disappear
‘Cause I can’t keep losing you
And calling it "near"
[Chorus]
Push me away, pull me back
(push me away)
Love in the dark, we stay attached
(pull me back)
Both of us hurt, both of us cracked
We need a sign
We need a sign
Push me away, pull me back
(push me away)
Nothing feels safe, but we come back fast
(pull me back)
Both of us hurt, both of us cracked
We need a sign
We need a sign
