Story Behind The Song
I used to see a girl in NYC. She was wildly talented, fun to be around, intellectual, and free-spirited. She was also partially broken from previous experiences, and seemingly unwilling to mend herself, never mind involve herself in a romantic relationship with me. When I pushed for more, she pulled away. When I pulled away, she pushed for more. It began to feel like a dysfunctional relationship.

Lyrics
You've been accosted
A sublime subversion
And the trickling time hastens me to say
This intrusion
of my delusions
only make me wish you'd seek out better ways
While I recognize the sentiment of sorrow on your face
Don't disregard the things I have to say
If you don't push me then I won't pull you
If you don't trip me I won't crawl
We're two people strung out on sadness together
And I can't take the rise and fall
So don't push or pull me at all
You've spent a lifetime
of feeling so fine
And regrets are only words that have no place
It's a fine line
with all your pride
And I wish that you would hear just what I say
