Album: This Is an Outrage!
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
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 here a sound;
The sound of a soon redeeming call
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
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,
Would'nt let her know how I feel
Held up now I am 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
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
