Equilibrium
Marcus Hägg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But reason wouldn't understand how
You're changing with the seasons
So guess that I'm about to find out
How you'll act when I'm finally happy
Even though that's what you told me to be
Still you're bringing me down, I go crazy
So I'm trying to bring us to
Equilibrium
Keep on bleeding but I give you love
Have you wondered if I needed some
Take me back to wherever we were
It feels just like a drug, babe
We're up and up then tumble back down
When I come close you run away
So how the hell am I supposed to get by
Cause we're circling around with these habits
And I'm dumb enough to follow your lead
Still you're bringing me down, I go crazy
So I'm trying to bring us to
Equilibrium
Keep on bleeding but I give you love
Have you wondered if I needed some
Take me back to wherever we were
