| Matchbox Twenty – Push Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "Push" is not a song about physical violence. Thomas describes the romantically combative "Push" - whose chorus is highlighted by the lines "I wanna push you around, I will, I will/I wanna push you down, I will, I will/I wanna take you for granted" - as "a song about how he was manipulated and how he handled it; how he grew to like it and got comfortable with it. He felt that was the only way that you could have a relationship was if you were being controlled or if you were being manipulated." Thomas added that the song was actually written from three points of view, including the one of the woman who it's about. Thomas adds, "Some people get the wrong idea and think that it's about physical violence, when it's really about emotional violence." | |
