Faceless Strangers - Halfway Across

Remove Ads
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Yeah I was pushing my way,
F# D#mThrough the five o'clock flow
C#Head down moving fast too many places to go
F#Running late again, fighting clocks and cars,
D#mForced to slow down at the next boulevard
BDid not see the curb didn't see the you too
A#m F#Till we collided felt like fate I knew
 
[Verse 2]
I was pulling my coat tight against the wind
D#mTrying to untangle the week I was in
BThe countdown flashed five four three
F#For we darted for the gap where the safe side be
C# BBut the taxi surged forward the moment was lost
C# BAs we stalled right here only halfway across
 
[Chorus]
F#Traffic screaming headlights gleaming
D#mCrosslights blinking as i walk shrinking
BYour eyes glancing
C#My heart dancing
F#Now were caught on an island in the middle of the street
D#mWhere the east bound thunders and the west bound meets
B C#Just two feet of concrete to stand our ground
While the whole city swirls around and around
B C# D#mYeah the lights Stuck red but I don't mind the cost
B C# F#There's a rare kind of quiet here with you halfway across
 
[Verse 3]
F#A bus roared by and shook through my bones
D#mI slipped nearly fell on the sidewalk stones
BYou reached for my hand just to steady my frame
F#I laughed out soft didnt know your name
C# BBut standing this close where I’d fallen down
C# BSuddenly felt like the safest corner in town
 
[Verse 4]
F#My phone buzzed twice in the pocket of my coat
D#mDeadlines begging and reminders I wrote
B Bsus2But I let them all ring while the traffic roared
F#Cos talking with you is a better reward
C# BThe light blinked green but I pulled you back slow
C# Bsus2Said wait two more minutes before we go
 
[Bridge]
D#mYou whispered this is risky
D#mand I said I know
Bsus2 C#But I'm in no hurry for the light to tell us to go
 
[Chorus]
F#Traffic screaming headlights gleaming
D#mCrosswalk blink and sidewalk shrinking your
Bsus2 C#Eyes glancing my heart dancing
F#Now I stuck on this island in the middle of the street
D#mWhere the east side races and the west side beats
Bsus2Just two feet of concrete but it somehow feels like
C#A soft little pause in the gears of the worlds wheels
B C# D#myeah
B F#Yeah the lights still red but I don't mind the cost
C#m Bsus2This moment with you is worth it halfway across
 
[Instrumental]
Bsus2 F# D#m Bsus2 C#
 
[Verse 5]
F# D#mLook, the crosswalk sign is turning white
Bsus2The cars are slowing stopping at the lights
C#we could chase the sidewalks safer side
F#Or let out plans get realigned
D#m Bsus2 C#I'm forgetting what I was rushing for
F# C# D#mOn that little island between lanes we survived no we thrived
Bsus2 B C#mbut we still had to move if we wanted to reach the other side
F# D#m Bnot in my wildest dreams did I think I'd find a moment with someone like you
C# G#m B B C#In the city's grind so let's where this goes we've gone halfway now
F#Now let's Go all the way
