Capital Lights - Mile Away Lyrics

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 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 me 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
