Chorus:
I'm a mile away from where I belong,
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.
Verse 1:
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.
[Chorus]
Verse 2:
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.
[Chorus]
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.
(Instrumental: ) x2
[Chorus]
