Rock and a Hard Place

Abu Sayed presents the official lyrics for his original song ‘Rock and a Hard Place’.

Got me caught between a memory and the heat of your skin
I'm standing at the edge, just waiting to pull you in
It's a rock and a hard place, but I love where I stay
When you look at me softly and take my breath away
The midnight coffee's gone cold in my cup
But your eyes in the candlelight are keeping me up
I trace the lines of your palm like a map to your soul
Every breath that you take makes me lose all control
There's a fire in the silence, a spark in the dark
I can feel every beat of your beautiful heart
We're walking a wire, so dangerously slow
And I never, ever want to let you go
You've got me between a rock and a hard place tonight
Drowning in the velvet of the fading light
I'm a captive to your rhythm, a slave to your grace
Yeah, I'm finding my heaven in a hard place
Right here with you
Finding my heaven in a hard place
The acoustic guitar in the corner is still
But the tension between us is starting to build
I lean in a little closer, just to catch your perfume
It's the only thing breathing in this late-night room
There's a fire in the silence, a spark in the dark
I can feel every beat of your beautiful heart
We're walking a wire, so dangerously slow
And I never, ever want to let you go
You've got me between a rock and a hard place tonight
Drowning in the velvet of the fading light
I'm a captive to your rhythm, a slave to your grace
Yeah, I'm finding my heaven in a hard place
Right here with you
Finding my heaven in a hard place
The shadows are dancing, our destiny's clear
I want to get lost in the magic we have here
There's no place left to run, no reason to hide
Just the echo of passion keeping us tied
Say my name softly... Sayed tonight
Let the fire burn until the morning light
You've got me between a rock and a hard place tonight
Drowning in the velvet of the fading light
I'm a captive to your rhythm, wrapped in your embrace
Forever finding my heaven in a hard place
