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 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.
