Miranda Lambert, 33, kept majorly low-key in the months following her split from Blake Shelton, 40, in July 2015, so everyone was pretty shocked when it was revealed just five months later that she’d been dating Anderson East, 28, following the divorce. The pair began flaunting their romance publicly shortly after that and have been happily together ever since, but the origins of their relationship were unknown…until now, it seems!
The song “Pushin’ Time” on Miranda’s new album The Weight of These Wings is actually a duet with her man, and the story and timeline match up to it being about their real-life love story. In the lyrics, the date Sept. 12 is mentioned as the first night the song’s subjects spent together, which would’ve fallen after the Blake split and long enough before the Anderson romance went public to make sense.

The pair notes that the relationship may have been “rushed” and happened “overnight” in the lyrics, and are also aware that it might not last forever with the line, “Can’t take it slow cause you and I are pushin’ time.” However, by the end, it’s clear they can’t live without each other as they sing, “If it has to end in tears, I hope it’s in 60 years.” So sweet!
See all the lyrics here:
Are we fools for rushing in?
Cause I already dread the end
Lonely ain’t no place to start
I guess that’s just where we are
Oh, how I remember well
The sunset on September 12th
I disappeared to get a drink
You still kept your eyes on me
Sometimes love acts out of spite
And good things happen overnight
Can’t take it slow ’cause you and I are pushin’ time
I didn’t plan on falling fast
I didn’t know I could be kissed like that
Now I’m trading miles for minutes
This bed’s too big without you in it
Sometimes love acts out of spite
And good things happen overnight
Can’t take it slow cause you and I are pushin’ time
You and I are pushin’ time
And they say only time can tell
You already know me well
If it has to end in tears
I hope it’s in 60 years
Sometimes love acts out of spite
And good things happen overnight
Can’t take it slow cause you and I are pushin’ time
Can’t take it slow cause you and I are pushin’ time
