The Photo In Wallet

Official song lyrics: ‘The Photo In Wallet’ by Abu Sayed. Original writing and composition.

I keep that folded memory tucked inside my coat
A little piece of midnight that you softly wrote
Whenever I am miles away and missing how you feel
I trace the edges of the ink to know the magic's real
The neon signs are humming in this sleepy little town
I pour another coffee as the rain comes pouring down
I pull apart the leather where I hide my favorite view
A faded, smiling photograph of nothing else but you
The engine's running quiet in the shadow of the pines
I'm reading every secret in those captivated lines
A single touch of paper brings a shiver to my skin
I close my eyes and suddenly I'm where I've always been
Oh, the photo in my wallet is a promise in the dark
A gentle kind of fire that has left a burning mark
I'm carrying your whisper on a solitary road
The sweetest heavy burden that a lonely heart could hold
Yeah, you're right here in my pocket, taking up my soul
Making every broken piece of me completely whole
Your eyes are looking at me from a summer long ago
A secret conversation that only the shadows know
The scent of your perfume begins to linger in the air
I'm reaching through the distance just to run into your hair
The miles are getting shorter as the highway starts to bend
I'm counting down the moments till I pull in at the end
The image in my fingers is a compass pointing right
Guiding every footstep to your waiting arms tonight
Oh, the photo in my wallet is a promise in the dark
A gentle kind of fire that has left a burning mark
I'm carrying your whisper on a solitary road
The sweetest heavy burden that a lonely heart could hold
Yeah, you're right here in my pocket, taking up my soul
Making every broken piece of me completely whole
Right here in my pocket, taking up my soul
Making every broken piece of me completely whole
The leather's getting worn but the colors never fade
A sanctuary waiting in the promises we made
I'll hold you in the quiet when the heavy shadows bleed
A love that bears the faithful, burning promise of Sayed
The miles fade away when I look at your smile
I'm coming home to you
Oh, the photo in my wallet is a promise in the dark
A gentle kind of fire that has left a burning mark
I'm carrying your whisper on a solitary road
The sweetest heavy burden that a lonely heart could hold
