Mr. nothin's got a lot
he's got a lot to say
he's good at being what he's not
and gives nothing away
another day goes on by
and he never speaks his heart
he takes his chance with what he's got
it's too late now to start

you push and you pull it
struggle with the knot
that's tying you up while you're fading
you give and you take it
take what you got
round and round 'til it breaks you
you push and you pull it
struggle with the knot
that's tying you up while you fade
into your life

Mr. nothing is late
he's running out of time
he questions whether chance or fate
will ever show a sign
he looks to the sky above
for a glimpse of what it means
and now or never never made
made no sense to him

you push and you pull it
struggle with the knot
that's tying you up while you're fading
you give and you take it
take what you got
round and round 'til it breaks you
you push and you pull it
struggle with the knot
that's tying you up while you fade
into your life

you push and you pull it
