Pusher

Pusher - alt-J Lyrics

If you're willing to wait for the love of your life

Please wait by the line

And you know dispersive prisms rainbow

But my native optimism isn't broken by the light



The idea of life without company fell suddenly

It crashed through the ceiling on me

And pinned me to the pine

And layer upon layer of hope and doubt

Will crush bones to oil in time



Are you a pusher or are you a puller?

I pull the weight towards me

And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward

Unless I have a woman pushing me



A canopy of red-billed quelea

Passed over the blue

A five hour flock, not one dives down

To tell you the truth



As night falls, a quelea crawls

And whispers on his last wings:

So abundant are we, left alone I shall be

But a waited phone never rings



Are you a pusher or are you a puller?

I pull the weight towards me

And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward

Unless I have a woman pushing me



Are you a pusher or are you a puller?

We could hold hands for fifteen minutes in the sauna

We could hold hands for a pool length under water

I can push and pull

Her



If you're willing to wait for the love of your life

Please wait by the line
