Lyrics

I got my head down between my knees  
I got my back against this bedroom wall  
I hear my voice saying baby please  
But I know you don't hear me call  
  
You're staring at that far horizon  
I don't even know why you stay  
It's like you're already miles and miles away  
  
We got this life so far turned around  
We only talk about what happened last  
We try to move ahead but we're losing ground  
To the heartache and the pain of the past  
  
Staring at that far horizon  
I don't even know why I stay  
You're already miles and miles away.  
  
Miles Away  
From these sad deliberations  
From a life in disarray  
And all these recriminations  
And these stones all in your passway  
  
You got this rage choking up your voice  
And you're behaving like an orphan child  
I want to be your friend but I got no choice  
Than to fight when you're so mean and wild  
  
Staring at that far horizon  
I don't even know why you stay  
It's like you're already miles and miles away  
  
Miles Away  
From these sad deliberations  
From the innocence betrayed  
The abandoned expectations  
And the stones that we have laid
