Halfway To Your Arms

[Verse 1]
You’re a picture in a cracked phone screen
Hat pulled low in that small town scene
Sunday smile, dog on your knee
How can you feel this close to me?
Laughing through a signal and a little blue light
Talking ‘bout our scars in the middle of the night
I know your stories, I can say your name
But I’ve never even seen your face in the rain
[Chorus]
I’m halfway to your arms and I’ve never felt your skin
Tracing all the lines of you from the outside in
I miss the way you’d hold me like I already know your hands
Craving every touch we haven’t had
Is that crazy, or is that just how hard I crash?
I’m falling for a stranger’s heart
Halfway to your arms
[Verse 2]
You say “goodnight” and it hits too hard
I’m staring at your words like they’re shooting stars
I close my eyes, you’re on my couch
Bare feet up and the world tuned out
I swear I feel your breath on my neck
When you tell me ‘bout your worst regrets
I’m talking to the dark like you’re really here
Swear I hear you laughing in my ears
[Chorus]
I’m halfway to your arms and I’ve never felt your skin
Tracing all the lines of you from the outside in
I miss the way you’d hold me like I already know your hands
Craving every touch we haven’t had
Is that crazy, or is that just how hard I crash?
I’m falling for a stranger’s heart
Halfway to your arms
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m a fool for a dream this strong (this strong)
Wanting you beside me when the nights feel long
But something in my bones says you’re real as the dawn
Like I’ve been driving all my life to where you are
[Chorus]
I’m halfway to your arms and I’ve never felt your skin
But I can feel the peace I’d find if you’d pull me in
I miss the way you’d hold me like I already know your hands
Craving every touch we haven’t had
Is that crazy, or is that just how hard I crash?
I’m falling for a stranger’s heart
Halfway to your arms
