Day 640 - Day 275

“I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will. I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will…”

Push: Matchbox 20, Yourself Or Someone Like You

 

This was the first song that I liked from Matchbox 20, and while I have other songs of theirs that I like, this is the only album that I own. There were a lot of hits on the pop charts off this album, and I have to give them props: they weren’t a one hit wonder band.

 

This song moves me musically more than lyrically. I actually use the moving base line in a lot of my compositions, and I have to say one thing about Rob Thomas: he pours himself into his songs to say the very least!

 

*** Artist Notes ***

Pushing down a loved one

 

Lyrics:

she said I don't know if I've ever been good enough

I'm a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in

And I don't know if I've ever been really loved

by a hand that's touched me, and I feel like something's gonna give

and I'm a little bit angry, well

 

this ain't over, no not here, not while I still need you around

you don't own me, we might change it

yeah we just might feel good

 

I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will

I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will

I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted

Yeah, yeah, well I will

 

she said I don't know why you ever would lie to me

like I'm a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya

and I don't know why you couldn't just stay with me

you couldn't stand to be near me

when my face don't seem to want to shine

cuz it's a little bit dirty, well

 

don't just stand there, say nice things to me

cause I've been cheated, I've been wronged, but you

you don't know me, yeah, well I can't change

Well, I won't do anything at all

 

I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will

I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will

I wanna take you for granted, yeah I wanna take you for granted

Yeah, yeah, well I will

 

oh but don't bowl me over

just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so crazy, crazy

don't rush this baby, don't rush this baby, baby

 

I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will

I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will

I wanna take you for granted, yeah yeah yeah

I wanna take you, take you, yeah, well I will

I will, I will, I will, yeah

I will, I will, I will, yeah yeah

push you around, and drag you down

I wanna push you around

Well I will
