Halfway Across the Island

Verse 1

White lines

Blurred out through the dirty glass

My foot is heavy on the pedal

I am staring down the asphalt till my eyes burn

Empty

Gas tank

Left the engine running

We forgot the map in the hallway

Somewhere back in Auckland where the rain falls

Chorus

Halfway across the island

Halfway across the island

Whoa

Whoa

I forgot why we started

I forgot why we started

Ahh

Ahh

Everything is moving fast

Everything is moving fast

Post-Chorus

Whoa oh oh oh

Ahh ahh ahh ahh

Whoa oh oh oh

Ahh ahh ahh ahh

Verse 2

Static

Hisssing from the radio

Singing loud

Singing proud

Singing out

The radiator is smoking in the heat

Thirsty

Cheap snacks

Crumbs in every seat crack

Borrowed car with a dented fender

Losing track of hours in the red sun

Chorus

Halfway across the island

Halfway across the island

Whoa

Whoa

I forgot why we started

I forgot why we started

Ahh

Ahh

Everything is moving fast

Everything is moving fast

Post-Chorus

Whoa oh oh oh

Ahh ahh ahh ahh

Whoa oh oh oh

Ahh ahh ahh ahh

Bridge

Maybe we should turn around

Maybe we should keep on going

Maybe we are lost for good

I see the mountains coming

I see the ocean breaking

I see the end of the road

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Halfway across the island

Halfway across the island

Whoa

Whoa

I forgot why we started

I forgot why we started

Ahh

Ahh

Everything is moving fast

Everything is moving fast

Outro

Whoa oh oh oh

(Everything is moving fast)

Ahh ahh ahh ahh

(Everything is moving fast)

Whoa

Ahh

Just keep driving

Just keep driving

Just keep driving
