          F
If you're willing to wait
         Am
for the love of your life,
 Dm                 F
please wait by the line.
     F
And you know
          Am             Dm
Dismissive prisms rainbow
But my native optimism
isn't broken
        F
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

Chorus:
  Bm       D         F#        G
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
   Em              D  F#    G
I pull the weight towards me
   Bm           D         F#             G
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
  Em             D     F#      G
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"

Chorus:
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 underwater
I can push and pull her

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