MR. SOS - The Balance lyrics

rate me

We don't always live in harmony (no we don't)

And often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh

Huh)

I fight with you

You fight with me (all the time)

Tryin to get the balance right (just trying to get the balance right)

(That's right)

(That's right)

This is for the listener that wants somethin more

The lovers, the haters, the fans, the fighters of wars

And those that hope for a future similar to before

Cause this present's gotta be taken back to the store

So start packin, cause we're goin back on the road again

And nobody ever knows when it ends

But when it does you can say you tried to achieve

A balance between the most beautiful things

And the worst ones

Cause when it gets bad the hurt comes

And makes you wanna crawl into a hearse and be done with it

But I figure that's pretty dumb isn't it?

I'd rather go out with a bang like Tony yelling 'come get it'

Cause life's a baton, you take it and you run with it

But not everybody's gonna let another one win it

And so we fight and we fight

Trying to get the balance right

From the start until the end of your life

We don't always live in harmony (no we don't)

And often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh

Huh)

I fight with you

You fight with me (all the time)

Tryin to get the balance right (just trying to get the balance right)

(That's right)

(That's right)

Love and hate, now there's a thin line if I ever saw one

That's why lovers usually hate each other when it's all done

And emotions get intertwined when people get placed up on a pedastool

And you fight over somethin miniscule

Like a drunk president ready to go to war

Over a dilema that most would consider sorta small

Now if you think about it that aint really smart at all

Especially when there's a little baby girl involved

And this was the case with David and Heather

Everyone thought they'd be together forever, however,

They confused love with lust

He should have known, she first said it when she happened to bust

Plus she shot her own foot to catch an honorable discharge

And she tried to say it was his fault

But they must, try to find a balance

Because this is the only way they can be parents

We don't always live in harmony (no we don't)

And often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh

Huh)

I fight with you

You fight with me (all the time)

Tryin to get the balance right (just trying to get the balance right)

(That's right)

(That's right)

Yo..

Grab ahold of your britches, wake up and notice the sickness

We need a balance to survive, at the moment it's shiftin'

And I don't know how to fix it, I just know how to listen

Meet me halfway til I start going the distance

And if the main road is congested, then I'ma form a detour

Trying to find new places I've never seen before

As a child I climbed trees more,

Now as a man I wanna be higher than the supreme court

But it would mean more just to have an even balance,

I know it seems hard, but we need to be better at it

Cause even these stars that are over us need a balance

So do we, God. It's gettin' hard to breathe on this planet

An atmosphere lost, I don't wanna see it happen

But it seems right around the corner like somebody mapped it out

So when it's about time to reroute, time will be out

And I'll still try to balance it out

We don't always live in harmony (no we don't)

And often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh

Huh)

I fight with you

You fight with me (all the time)

Tryin to get the balance right (just trying to get the balance right)

(That's right)

(That's right)
