When push comes to shove
Your enterprising ways are accessible to me
When push comes to shove
We find the middle way
On quiet days, we seek harmony
With you asleep in my arms
Moody music on the stereo
Comfort food from the freezer
On loud days we seek drama
Amid the stability
Of our lasting relationship
When push comes to shove
We are disagreeing
On where to store household items
Whether to be rid of grandmas old tea-set
An old overcoat, to keep or not?
And for goodness sake
There are too many pairs of shoes
When push comes to shove
Two people can get along
Like us or in some other patterns
Of connecting together
In ways that work
