“Meet Me Halfway” by The Black Eyed Peas
The lyrics of The Black Eyed Peas’ “Meet Me Halfway” center on love and compromise. They also talk about desires and feelings. The song’s narrator greatly misses their partner. At the beginning, he mentions that his biggest wish is to be with her because he wants her so badly. He talks about how he thinks about her a lot every single day and how much he misses her and the things they used to do. Now he wants to know what is going on with her and what she is doing now especially since it was just about the two of them initially.
He goes on to sing in the chorus that he will wait for her at the border which is halfway to where she is and that she should meet him there. He mentions that he will wait all day; day and night. His heart can only get him to the border and he can’t go farther than that.
In the second verse, he mentions that he has been all over the world and that she should let him know where she wants him to meet her and he will. He wants to be with her every day because he is in love with her.
All he wants is for her to be willing to meet him halfway so they can continue with their love affair.
