I'm a mile away from where I belong, and I'm a mile away from home. I'm lying awake at the thought of you gone, and I'm a mile away from home.
On top of the world he thought, let down when he hit the spot. Dead stare in the mirror as he drove. Had room for growing up, he
got cold feet so he had to run to a city with a history of love.
Knowing she relies on me but I'm on my way to an unpredicted fall. Feet under the covers now, lips sealed tight till I hear a sound.
The sound of a soon redeeming call.
I'm a mile away from where I belong, and I'm a mile away from home. I'm lying awake at the thought of you gone, and I'm a mile away from home.
Now I know I never dreamed to be a movie star but I'm hiding in the Hollywood hills. I've learned regret from a cowards mouth, wouldn't let her know how I feel. Held up and I'm stuck in line, can barely get around on the 405. Headed downtown in a half-full automopile. Now but deep inside I see the light, I'm a runaway victim left alone. At night though you lay so far, we both stare out at the same old stars, wishing for direction where to go.
I'm a mile away from where I belong, and I'm a mile away from home. I'm lying awake at the thought of you gone, and I'm a mile away from home.
Oh, but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end. I walk the line like a merry-go-round, thought I learned but I lost you again. And all at once, if the world stops spinning maybe you could let me in. Oh, but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end.
I'm a mile away from where I belong, and I'm a mile away from home. I'm lying awake at the thought of you gone, and I'm a mile away from home.
