 Struggling with Push? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

A little bit more than I ever wanted
A little bit more than you could ever say
Did you really think that I'd forgotten
Kicked out the windshield
Water coming in
Fade away fade away 

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want
What you need
What you wanted me to be
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through 

Tried to give more than you thought I'd take now
Taking more than you could ever say
Push come to shove
You kicked me in the head
You knock me down
I ripped the handle off again
I wanted more than this
Wanted more than this
Fade away fade away 

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want
What you need
Is this what you wanted me to be
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through 

Hands gripped to the wheel
Held too tight to feel
Face pressed to the glass
Please don't ask
One breath one more
It's alright 

I could give enough
Have enough
Be enough
You could never stand to stay there
Only only only
Fade away fade away 

Push just a little too late
Is this what you want
What you need
Is this what you wanted me to be
Always loved me strapped to you
Lock it down and drive me through 

Push just a little too late
I wanted more than this
I expected more than this
