lyrics

I love to talk to her, I love it when she comes around,
Whenever I want to see her, it takes two days to track her down.
I’m crazy for this girl; I’ve found the oyster but there’s no pearl,
She’s hiding out in her own little world,
Miles and miles away.

She’s been falling under, she’s been on the losing side,
I make her laugh and I wonder if I know how to turn the tide.
‘Cause I’ve got a heart to lend, that maybe she’d take if I knew how to send,
Or maybe I’m just a foul-weather friend,
Miles and miles away.

She’s got a picture and some words I wrote,
Note for note in a dream that made me sad.
I thought I had her heart, we’d made it through the hardest part,
I reached for her and awoke with a start,
Miles and miles away.

She needs to be alone, she needs two feet on the ground,
That’s what she says in a warm tone that leaves me without a sound.
I’m not convinced it’s true, but it’s not my heart so what else can I do?
I hate where I’m standing but I love the view,
from miles and miles away.

I wonder if she knows, I wonder if she’s got a clue,
‘Cause I try to not let it show, I don’t know what she would do.
But I’m gonna find out soon, if what I feel is a bust or a boon,
Or are these words for the sake of a tune,
Miles and miles away?

It’s not my style to keep it all inside,
Still I hide all the things I just can’t say.
Heart, find a way, be strong,
The worst that could happen is I could be wrong.
And if she goes, she’ll be hearing this song,
Miles and miles away.

And if she goes, she’ll be hearing this song,
Miles and miles away.
