The Balance Lyrics

[Chorus, sung]
we don't always live in harmony (no we don't)
and often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh
huh)
fight with you
fight with me (all the time)
tryin to get the balance (tryin to get that balance
right)

(that's right)
(that's right)

[Verse 1]
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 raod
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 wit
it
but i figured thats pretty dumb isn't it?
i'd rather go out with a bang like tony yellin '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 you fight and you fight, tryin to get the
balance right
from the start until the end of your life

[Chorus, sung]
we don't always live in harmony (no we don't)
and often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh
huh)
fight with you
fight with me (all the time)
tryin to get the balance (tryin to get that balance
right)

(that's right)
(that's right)

[Verse 2]
love and hate now there's a thin line if i ever saw one
thats why lovers usually hate each other when its 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 theres 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

[Chorus, sung]
we don't always live in harmony (no we don't)
and often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh
huh)
fight with you
fight with me (all the time)
tryin to get the balance (tryin to get that balance
right)

(that's right)
(that's right)

[Verse 3]
yo, grab ahold of your britches, wake up and notice the
sickness
we need the balance to survive, at the moment its
shiftin
and i dont know how to fix it, i just know how to
listen
meet me halfway til i start goin the distance
and if the main road is congested, then imma form a
detour
try to find new places i 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 need to be better at it
cause even these stars ??? ??? need a balance
so do we, god, its gettin hard to ??? on this planet
an atmosphere lost i dont 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

[Chorus, sung]
we don't always live in harmony (no we don't)
and often there are times we are enemies (uh huh, uh
huh)
fight with you
fight with me (all the time)
tryin to get the balance (tryin to get that balance
right)

(that's right)
(that's right)
