Pushed & Pulled

Sound the bells in the town, for the soldiers have come back around
Just to find that there's nothing left
And the girl in the dress wears her hair in a permanent mess
So that no one can see her eyes wet

She had waited for months, 'til she falsely heard that her soldier was crushed
And her world came crashing down
But he was still on the battlefield, trying to pretend that it wasn't real
And holding a picture of her as men fell to the ground

Sinking hands on the gun, and she's the only one
Who can save him today

But they're pushed and pulled apart, at the seams of worn hearts
Thrown into the dark of the night, to join in the fight

So he's feeling her heart, and it takes him right back to the start
Like a bottled letter out to sea
And the fog seems to rise, for all he can see is Lillian's eyes
On a bright September's day

He laid down to rest his bones, and when he awoke, all the bullets had blown
And the bodies; oh the bodies fell still
Now he saw the only way: walk through the valley all night and all day
Hoping to follow his feet back to her

Sinking hands on the gun, and she's the only one
Who can save him today

But they're pushed and pulled apart, at the seams of worn hearts
Thrown into the dark of the night, to join in the fight

(Johnny walk a little bit faster
Get back to the woman you love)

But they're pushed and pulled apart, at the seams of worn hearts
Thrown into the dark of the night, to join in the fight

(Johnny walk a little bit faster
Get back to the woman you love)

But they're pushed and pulled apart, at the seams of worn hearts
Thrown into the dark of the night, to join in the fight

(Johnny walk a little bit faster
Get back to the woman you love)

Pushed and pulled apart
Pushed and pulled apart

(Johnny walk a little bit faster
Get back to the woman you love)

Pushed and pulled apart
