I woke up in the gray, with the blues inside my head

I called you through the phone, from the hollow of my bed

The distance was a knife, and the silence felt like pain

But you promised you were coming, to wash me in the rain

You're cutting through the state, past the loblolly and the pine

You're racing down the interstate, to cross that border line

The map says four hundred miles, but your heart is moving fast

You're burning up the pavement, to leave the lonely past

From the Ozarks to the lights of the city

You're driving through the fire for me

The shadows are long and the highway is bleeding

But you're exactly where you need to be

I'm waiting in the dark

With a hunger in my skin

Aureli, turn the key

Let the night begin

The sun is dipping low, in the Texas western sky

I'm watching every road, with a fever in my eye

I know you're tired of the wheel, and the blur of golden light

But I'm the only destination, at the end of your long night

Unsaid and unspoken, a beautiful sin

Your hair is a mess, and your breath is wearing thin

You're finally at my door, in the heat of the humid air

I'm pulling you inside, with my hands tangled in your hair

From the Ozarks to the lights of the city

You're driving through the fire for me

The shadows are long and the highway is bleeding

But you're exactly where you need to be

I'm waiting in the dark

With a hunger in my skin

Aureli, turn the key

Let the night begin

The drive is finally over, the engine's cooling down

You're the only thing that matters, in this entire town

Aureli

You're finally here
