[Verse 1]
You move like a match
Toward an open door
I lean in too fast
You’re gone before the floor
I read every pause
Like a knife in the thread
You want your own space
I want what we said
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you come close
Then you slip out
I feel the heat
You feel the doubt
I reach for your sleeve
You fold your hands
We know the pattern
We know where it lands
[Chorus]
Push me away
Pull me back in
Push me away
We do it again
Close, then gone
Gone, then I break
Push me away
I know the shape (I know the shape)
[Verse 2]
Your phone face down
On the scarred old table
My thumb keeps circling
What I can’t handle
You say “not now”
I hear “too much”
I flood the room
With one more touch
You need the silence
I need your sign
We light the fuse
At the same time
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you come close
Then you slip out
I feel the heat
You feel the doubt
I reach for your sleeve
You fold your hands
We know the pattern
We know where it lands
[Chorus]
Push me away
Pull me back in
Push me away
We do it again
Close, then gone
Gone, then I break
Push me away
I know the shape (I know the shape)
[Bridge]
Maybe we’re both
Just bruised by the reach
You guard the doorway
I beg at your feet
Same old spell
Same old sting
We set the room on fire
Then blame the ring
[Chorus]
Push me away
Pull me back in
Push me away
We do it again
Close, then gone
Gone, then I break
Push me away
I know the shape (I know the shape)
