Mile Away Lyrics

by Capital Lights

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e97900-capital_lights~mile_away_lyrics.html ]
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 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 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
