I'm a mile away from where I belong,nand I'm a mile away from home.nI'm lying awake at the thought of you gone, nand I'm a mile away from home.nnOn top of the world he thought,nlet down when he hit the spot,ndead stare in the mirror as he drove.nHad room for growing up,nhe got cold feet so he had to runnto a city with a history in love.nnKnowing she relies on me,nbut I'm on my way to an unpredicted fall.nFeet under the covers now,nlips sealed tight 'til I hear a sound,nthe sound of a soon redeeming call.nnI'm a mile away from where I belong,nand I'm a mile away from home.nI'm lying awake at the thought of you gone, nand I'm a mile away from home.nnNow I know I never dreamed to be a movie star,nbut I'm hiding in the Hollywood Hills.nI have learned regret from a coward's mouth,nwouldn't let her know how I feel.nHeld up and I am stuck in line,nCan barely get around on the 405.nHeaded downtown in a half-full automobile.nnNow that deep inside I see the light, nI'm a runaway victim left alone.nAt night though you lay so far, we both stare out at the same old stars, nwishing for direction, where to go.nnI'm a mile away from where I belong,nand I'm a mile away from home.nI'm lying awake at the thought of you gone, nand I'm a mile away from home.nnOh, but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end.nI walk the line like a merry-go-round, thought I'd learned, but I lost you again.nAnd all at once if the world stopped spinning, maybe you could let me win (you could let me win).nOh, but I could never forget the guilty look in your eyes at the end.nnAnd nnI'm a mile away from where I belong,nand I'm a mile away from home.nI'm lying awake at the thought of you gone, nand I'm a mile away from home.
