Cannonball
Justin Prime & Showtek feat. Matthew Koma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I have lost our minds
I don't even know if it's yours or mine,
Projected by your fear inside
But I could see the light
Yey, when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me
We can make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake
Rockin' an earthquake, quake
Show us what you got,
When the motherf-cking beat drops

Make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake, quake

You and I we're honesty
The day in Taipei intensity
It's me against you, and
It's you against me
It's so hard to breath
Yey, when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me
We can make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake
Shake, when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me
We can make the ground shake,
Rockin' an earthquake
Rockin' an earthquake
Rockin' an earthquake
Show us what you got,
When the motherf-cking beat drops





We can make the ground shake
Rockin' an earthquake

0:00 Turn on your speakers to 3/4 volume
0:51 start to turn the music up to max
1:02 you start to freak out and dance like crazy because the drop was deadly
1:21 you find creepers
1:25 you calm down and reduce the volume to 3/4 again to get ready for the next drop
2:08 you think the second drop I happening but they fooled u its not
2:31 you start to put the volume to max
2:44 you freak out and dance again because the drop was AMAZING
Then you keep the volume at max till the end...
Then repeat!!!!!

You and I have lost our minds
I don't even know which thoughts are mine
You're projected by a fear inside
But I can see the light
Say when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me and we can make the ground shake
Like an earthquake [3x]

Show us what you got when the motherf- beat drops

Make the, make the ground shake
Like an earthquake [2x]

You and I are honesty
A sedated type-A intensity
When it's me against you
And it's you against me
It's so hard to breathe
Say when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me and we can make the ground shake
Like an earthquake

Say when you're ready to escape
I'll be your shelter from the rain
I'll pull you under me and we can make the ground shake
Like an earthquake [4x]

Show us what you got when the motherf- beat drops

Make the, make the ground shake
