Halfway Across The Country

Official song lyrics: ‘Halfway Across The Country’ by Abu Sayed. Original writing and composition.

Halfway across the country, but I feel you right here
Whispering your secrets softly into my ear
Got my hands on the wheel, but my mind is on your skin
Counting down the miles until I pull you close again
The radio is playing soft into the midnight air
I look into the empty seat and wish that you were there
I can almost feel the warmth of your fingers tracing mine
Drinking up the memory of a love as sweet as wine
The distance fades to nothing when I think about your touch
A thousand miles of empty road could never be too much
I feel the steady beating of your heart across the wire
Every single second only fuels this deep desire
I am burning down the highway, chasing after the rising sun
Knowing that your open arms are where I want to run
I can feel the fire glowing in the spaces in between
The sweetest kind of longing that my soul has ever seen
Yeah, I am burning down the highway
Chasing after the rising sun
The lonely motel signs are flashing neon in the dark
But everywhere I travel, you are a compass in my heart
I left my jacket on your chair to keep my scent around
Soon I will be pulling up and touching sacred ground
The distance fades to nothing when I think about your touch
A thousand miles of empty road could never be too much
I feel the steady beating of your heart across the wire
Every single second only fuels this deep desire
I am burning down the highway, chasing after the rising sun
Knowing that your open arms are where I want to run
I can feel the fire glowing in the spaces in between
The sweetest kind of longing that my soul has ever seen
Yeah, I am burning down the highway
Chasing after the rising sun
I am burning down the highway, chasing after the rising sun
The engine hums a melody that calls me to your door
I never knew a craving that could make me hunger more
The world is standing still outside this moving window pane
I am trading all the shadows for a love that breaks the chain
Yeah, Sayed is driving through the night to feel your breathing close
It is just the highway, bringing all my love to you
I am making every promise that we whispered fully true
I am burning down the highway, chasing after the rising sun
Knowing that your open arms are where I want to run
I am finally pulling in to where my journey meant to be
Halfway across the country, now you are right here next to me
