Mile Away

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 coward's 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 And 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 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 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
