lyrics

What I really want to do is fold myself in canoe
Push out far into the pond I think I’d stay to see the dawn
It’s the ultimate art this dedication to escape
It’s the ultimate escape my obsession with this art
So I’ll push out in the lake
Virtuoso artist at escape
And meantime you just stand and say

You cannot simultaneously pull and push
You cannot simultaneously pull and push
You cannot simultaneously pull and push
You cannot simultaneously pull and push

The only thing worse than not knowing what I want
Is being immobile with the fear of knowing what I want
So I’m sitting here on this pile of indecision
Not chancing the definite stance of a position
I am flexible as clay
I will go whichever way you wish
And meantime you just stand and say

You cannot simultaneously pull and push
You cannot simultaneously pull and push
You cannot simultaneously pull and push
You cannot simultaneously pull and push

I wish that I could prove I never scribble cross a line
But my journal’s filled with inkblots that would catch me in the lie
It’s a hypocritic maze how I’m torn on every page
It’s the contradictors road that I travel everyday
On the fence where I sit
Directions’ relative
And meantime you just stand and say

You cannot simultaneously pull and push
You cannot simultaneously pull and push
You cannot simultaneously pull and push
You cannot simultaneously pull and push
