Meet Me Halfway
B.E.P. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Meet me on a rooftop, that's where I'm gonna be
This party is so old fashioned
Nothing is here for me

Meet me on a rooftop, I'll bring the radio
We can kick our shoes off and dance really slowly
Drink a little moonshine, have fun in clover time
I've been watching you through a fascinating prism
Moving in and out of rhythm
Climb the fire escape with me
We can spin the world around from a first class seat

Meet me on a rooftop
Ooh, take a cab to the west side
Don't you worry about being so high up
Just lie beneath the city sky
See Ms. Liberty shine, shine

I've been watching you through a fascinating prism
Moving in and out of rhythm
Climb the fire escape with me
We can spin the world around from a first class seat

You bring the candles
And I'll bring the Arnica oil
I'll massage your mind until your spine uncoils

You're enticing me with a scintillating schism
Dreaming in and out of living
Climb in my sleeping bag with me




You can spin my head around
Until the birds come tweet, tweet, tweet

Overall Meaning

"Meet Me Halfway" by the Black Eyed Peas is a song about a couple that is finding a way to reconnect with each other. The lyrics describe them meeting each other on a rooftop, away from the traditional parties and events that they’ve grown out of. The rooftop represents a place for them to be alone, to have fun, and to slow down and take the time to get to know each other again. The lyrics are full of romantic imagery, as the couple dances slowly, drinks moonshine, and admires the cityscape beneath them. They are able to leave the world behind and enjoy each other’s company, even amidst the chaos of the city.


The lyrics are written in a poetic and evocative style, with vivid descriptions of the city and the couple’s interactions. The lines "I’ve been watching you through a fascinating prism/Moving in and out of rhythm" are particularly striking, as they convey a sense of watching the couple from a distance, as if they are the only two people in the world. The line "Climb in my sleeping bag with me/You can spin my head around/Until the birds come tweet, tweet, tweet" is a playful and suggestive ending to the song, hinting at the couple’s physical attraction and their desire to be close to each other.

Lyrics
I can't go any further than this
I want you so badly, it's my biggest wish

I spent my time just thinking thinking thinking bout you
Every single day yes, I'm really missin' missin' you
And all those things we use to use to use to do
Hey girl, whats up, it use, it use to be just me and you
I spent my time just thinking thinking thinking 'bout you
Every single day, yes I'm really missing missing you
And all those things we use to use to use to do
Hey girl whats up, whats up, whats up, whats up

Can you meet me halfway, right at the borderline
Is where I'm gonna wait, for you
I'll be looking out, night n' day
Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I stay
I can't go any further than this
I want you so bad it's my only wish

Girl, I travel round the world and even sail the seven seas
Across the universe I go to other galaxies
Just tell me where to go, just tell me where you wanna to meet
I navigate myself myself to take me where you be
Cause girl I want, I, I, I want you right now
I travel uptown town I travel downtown
I wanna to have you around round like every single day
I love you alway' ways

Can you meet me half way (I'll meet you halfway)
Right at the borderline
That's where I'm gonna wait, for you
I'll be looking out, night n' day
Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay
I can't go any further than this
I want you so bad it's my only wish
I can't go any further than this
I want you so bad it's my only wish

Let's walk the bridge, to the other side
Just you and I (just you and I)
I will fly, I'll fly the skies, for you and I (for you and I)
I will try, until I die, for you and I, for you and I, for for you and I,
For for you and I, for for you and I, for you and I

Can you meet me half way
Can you meet me half way
Can you meet me half way
Can you meet me half way

Meet me half way, right at the borderline
That's where I'm gonna wait, for you
I'll be looking out, night n' day
Took my heart to the limit, and this is where I'll stay
I can't go any further than this
I want you so bad it's my only wish
I can't go any further than this
I want you so bad it's my only wish
