[Verse 1]
You told me that you’d never leave
In fact, you promised me
What do these words even mean
When they don’t last past a week?
I’ve seen you up in my dreams
The only place you don’t leave
What does that even mean
When it don’t last past a sleep?
[Chorus]
You push and run
You push and run
You run faster than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
You push harder than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
Is that your superpower, huh?
Is that your…?
[Verse 2]
I told you that I’d never leave
You should’ve trusted me
I don’t do make-believes
Not even in a dream
This wasn’t fantasy
No matter what it seems
I’m coming for you, babe
Tossing the world out the way
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You’re drifting me out toward sea
Drown every time I believe
This time I don’t think I can breathe
This time there’s no air left for me
You’re drifting me out toward sea
Die every time that you leave
This time I don’t think I should breathe
This time I don’t want to be
[Chorus]
You push and run
You push and run
You run faster than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
You push harder than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
I know that more than anyone
You push and run
You push and run
Is that you superpower, huh?
Or do you do it for fun?
Whoa, or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so
I have to run?
Or do you do it so?
Or do you do it so?
I have to….

This is soo good Ben! seems song lyrics are very much in your comfort zone now and I think this is my favorite too:) Great lyrics, Chorus and Bridge and the Demo too…You are really good at this.I am so impressed by this new talent that has sprung from you and your always unique poetry. There are so many lines that just stick like glue in the mind, even the first time you hear it! Well done my multi-faceted, talented friend:):)❤️🤗🙏🌹🌟
Well, that’s a big WOW! Thank you. I’m still thinking of your song actually every now and again. It was amazing to hear that. I do enjoy the process of creating songs. It’s very experimental and if you can get something catchy that’s always fun, because it’s like connecting with something higher in the universe. Thanks so much again. You really make me feel blessed ❤️ 🙂
It really takes talent to couple lyrics with music. You have it my friend.
THANKS! I think you’re right it takes great talent to write catchy songs. But what’s funny … is that I’m by far the least musical in my family, because many are musicians. So I feel not so talented in it truthfully, but maybe I’ll keep improving. Ah, the sometimes fragile psyche of an artist, lol.
I come from a family of musicians too, so I get it. But you do have talent. I’d say just do your thing and don’t look within close circles for approval. Families are funny that way.
😊 Very wise words. I understand what you’re saying. And we all don’t have to be the same and have the same exact talents or tastes. Perhaps approval starts from within first.
Yes!
I’m a fan. Great work Ben (and the beautiful soul who helped you).
Oh, that’s very kind. Yes, I’m lucky to know a lot of great musicians, especially in my family. They have influenced me. Now, if I only could get as good as them.
I am a fan Ben! You have found your next calling as a singer song writer artist!!!
Oh, wow! Thanks so much, Cassa. Writing songs is fun. It never gets old, really. It’s nice to have a few fans of my songs since I thought I would never post them ever. You’re incredible! And always very kind to me 🙂 Maybe I would take that calling if it ever happened. However, I think I’d like to stay behind the scenes mostly.
You know more than a few music artists play with a guitar and murmur their passion into a microphone to their own music world, and it just happen that they are also do that in front of a huge audience. you will never know, our passion always lead us…
Yeah, you’re right about that. Maybe a lot of the time it’s more about passion than anything else when it comes to creativity. That is what people connect with. It’s something to think about. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I’ll take them to heart!
💚
