The Paris Buns - Push Gently Lyrics

When I wake up in the morning, I feel myself floating
Seagulls swerve around me and the sun is set to boiling
Tracts of land below me like a painting
And the vapors of rainstorms clinging
And the sky so blue drew me away from you

So if I fall upwards act fast
Put your hands over my heart
And push, but gently, so gently

When I go to bed at night, I feel myself sinking
Sand and soil fill my lungs, bedrock fills my body and it burns my tongue
And I look up at my ancestors and all those who came before
And I miss you from the Earth's core

So if I fly downwards, act fast
Put your hands behind my back
And push, but gently, so gently
So if I fly downwards, act fast
Put your hands behind my back
And push, but gently, so gently

When I walk down the road, I go both ways at once
What I say behind my back isn't how I act up front
And it's getting so hard to keep myself whole
How to mend two halves of one whole soul
Give me some sense of control

So if I split sideways, act fast
Put your hands on my hips
And push, but gently, so gently
So if I split sideways, act fast
Put your hands on my hips
And push, but gently, so gently
