"You've got some issues / I've got some flaws / I'm gonna miss you / But let's just push pause."
A song about how taking time off from a relationship might not have been such a bad idea.
lyrics
Keep looking forward, don’t look back
All this stress is bound to give me a heart attack
You insist you’re moving on
While I’m left wondering what I said that was wrong
You say you’re never coming back, never coming back
Cause of all the things I lack, never coming back, well,
I just can’t make sense of it, no no
But…
(Chorus)
None of our words
Say anything new
They’re just rearranged
Across a different tune
Well, I want some deviation from altercation
Cause right now I’m in line for vacation
You’ve got some issues
I’ve got some flaws
I’m gonna miss you
But, let’s just push pause
Oh, la-da-da-da-da-da-da
Push Pause
So, I keep on a-lookin’ forward and, in fact
It’s been a fear of progress that’s held me back
When I thought that these girls, they had nothing on you
I’d been looking for an exit that came into view
Now that I am so through with the thought of you,
And…
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
In my mind there’s the blueprint of the man I should be
And, unfortunately, it just doesn’t coincide with this me
Starting today, I’m sailing away from all these concepts of
What I need, the life I lead, - it’s all gone.
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
I’ll push pause.
(Chorus)
