Don't Push Send Lyrics - The Geography Of Light - Carrie Newcomer

This is a story a very sad tale 

Of intrigue and romance and electronic mail 

A dangerous form of information, and the perils of instant gratification 

How many times did I hit my Mac want to crawl inside and take the whole thing back 

But its no use say it again and again 

Don't push send 

Carol wrote about her job's frustrations 

What drove her crazy with aggravation 

A list of every person's faults, 

Precise and pithy, wry insults 

She sent it off to her best friend 

But saw with horror as she pushed send 

She hit the keys and began to roar 

She'd she'd copied the entire office floor 

[Chorus] 

Don't push send 

Don't push send 

There are things that you can never quite amend 

I tell myself again and again 

Don't push send 

Katherine wrote a note to her husband Ben 

Using their pet names and vowing devotion 

She said meet me at home in a little while 

I'll be there waiting, wearing nothing but a smile 

But then she goes her answer from his great granddad lee. 

Saying. "I don't think that this was meant for me 

It was nice, but I'll forward it to my great grandson, it's been 

years since anybody called me sugar buns." 

[Chorus] 

The day was tough the week had really been somethin' 

Jane got a message that pushed her buttons 

She shot back as if her words were guns 

Capitalizing every single one 

She should have waited she should know 

E-mail doesn't mix with merlot 

She had to write back as you could guess 

Plead e-mail recklessness and PMS 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge] 

Just stop and think when I'm on the brink 

Walk away from your computer 

Cause you can bet I will regret 

And feel like such a loser 

After opposing counsel acted like jerks 

Joe got a letter from his law partner at work 

He meant to make a changes, cut and paste 

But sent it off in his efficient haste 

He tried to delete, he tried to stop the note 

But the letter had flown and that was all she wrote 

The message was polite with professional class 

But the subject line still said "what an ass" 

[Chorus] 

Don't push send 

Don't push send
