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 automobile. 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 win. 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. (x3)
