Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you feel the same way?
Will you walk towards me? Are you afraid?
Moments, feeling like we're everlasting
And I can't stop laughing
I can feel the time passing
That's the anxiety attacking
So I'mma let you have this
Baby, you can never throw me off balance
I'mma need a challenge
I've been waiting for this day
Do you feel the same way?
Will you walk towards me? Are you afraid?
(Sometimes I just feel like)
Moments, feeling like we're everlasting
And I can't stop laughing
I can feel the time passing
That's the anxiety attacking
And I've been through all the sad shit
So I'mma let you have this
Baby, you can never throw me off balance
I'mma need a challenge
