Equilibrium
The Jackie Boyz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, oh, oh equilibrium
Oh no

I think I found myself in a strange place
Got me spinning like a satellite in outer space
Gravity keeps pulling me your way
I'm better in doubt
Cause before I was born like the player type
Going home to a different girl every night
I was stumbling tipsy fell into your life
I'm sobering now

For the first time I'mma listen
To what my heart is telling me, no more tripping
I'm back on my feet, no one matters to me
So imma keep it steady now, I'mma keep it steady now
Ohhhh

I was upside down, couldn't balance in
Fell off the train, but I'm back on the track again
I swear it gets me going without a doubt, but now I'm evened out.
Do you know what you are?

Baby you're my equilibrium Baby you're my equilibrium
Baby you're my equilibrium
That's what you are, that's what you are
Ohh

There's no pressure when I'm with you I got room to breathe
Took a dive, went forever for stability
Forget the moon and the stars, you're my galaxy
You measure me out
And there's no way I, can be away for too long
To be without you, the scale would just be off
Girl I need you wanna keep you here forever
Ohh

For the first time imma listen
To what my heart is telling me, no more tripping
I'm back on my feet, no one matters to me
So imma keep it steady now, imma keep it steady now
Ohhhh

I was upside down, couldn't balance in
Fell off the train, but I'm back on the track again
I swear it gets me going without a doubt, but now I'm evened out.
Do you know what you are?

Baby you're my equilibrium
Baby you're my equilibrium
Baby you're my equilibrium
That's what you are, that's what you are
Ohh

Your loves lifts me up off the ground
We're taking off so don't look down
In the atmosphere
You and I, we can fly

I was upside down, couldn't balance in
Fell off the train, but I'm back on the track again
I swear it gets me going without a doubt, but now I'm evened out.
Do you know what you are?

Baby you're my equilibrium
Baby you're my equilibrium
Baby you're my equilibrium




That's what you are, that's what you are
Ohh... Equilibrium... Yeah
