Halfway In Between
That opening guitar solo lands like a statement of intent, blues-soaked and confident at 117.5 BPM, and the song earns it: ‘driving on the fault line of what was and what could be’ is the kind of chorus line that sticks because it actually means something. The verse imagery, Spanish towers, amber light, gulls over the California coast, builds a specific geography of longing, and when the whole thing lifts into the chorus it has the same chest-opening quality as peak Tom Petty. A highlight.
Lyrics
Golden light spills down the coastline Rolling waves hum a lullaby Footsteps lost in shifting memory Fading fast, like the evening sky
The wind speaks in whispers, gulls cry out loud Abandoned by choices, I'm smothered in doubt
Halfway in between, LA and a dream Driving on the fault line of what was and what could be Amber woman burning bright, shadows in the tide Standing at the point where love and song collide I'm Halfway in between
Spanish towers touch the sunrise Ghosts still dance beneath the palms Silver swells and silent heartbeats A restless pulse, a fleeting alarm
The wind speaks in whispers, gulls cry out loud Abandoned by choices, I'm smothered in doubt
Halfway in between, LA and a dream Driving on the fault line of what was and what could be Amber woman burning bright, shadows in the tide Standing at the point where love and song collide I'm Halfway in between
Lost in the shimmer of summers past Fearing the undertow, stuck in the sand
Halfway in between, LA and a dream Driving on the fault line of what was and what could be Amber woman burning bright, shadows in the tide Standing at the point where love and song collide I'm Halfway in between
Halfway in between, LA and a dream Driving on the fault line of what was and what could be Amber woman burning bright, shadows in the tide Standing at the point where love and song collide I'm Halfway in between
Oh, amber woman - I'm halfway in between
