Miles Away

[Verse 1]

I took a trip up the west coast

LAX to SFO

Was searching for a temp so low

And a summer high

The sun swayed and set slow

I made waves with some friends I know

I got lost in the ebb and flow

Of the drifting tide

And I

[Chorus]

I didn't ever want to come down

From that west coast rush and summer high

And easy, peaceful sense of time

I felt so alive

Now I'm alone when I'm back home

It's cold and old

But in my mind

I, I am

Miles and miles away

I'm miles away

[Verse 2]

Pretty pretty girls on two wheels

Dolores Heights and a laid-back feel

We sat and drank for a while until

The city came alive

We were smoking with strangers

We were dancing with the lights on

I was singing to "The Angels"

See that's my favorite X song

[Chorus]

I didn't ever want to come down

From that west coast rush and summer high

And easy, peaceful sense of time

I felt so alive

Now I'm alone when I'm back home

It's cold and old

But in my mind

I, I am

Miles and miles away

[Refrain]

Miles away

In my mind I'm miles and miles away

In my mind I'm miles away

[Bridge]

When the buzz ain't like it was

Well then it's time for a change

Just a subtle change

A tongue full of only tomorrow's

Will never quench your thirst for today

So what do you say we take a trip miles away?

(Just take a trip)

Just take a trip miles away

(Just take a trip)

Just take a trip miles away

[Chorus]

I don't ever want to come down

From this west coast rush and summer high

And easy, peaceful sense of time

I feel so alive

At the moment any place I go

Is beautiful

Because in my mind

I, I am

Miles and miles away

[Outro]

Miles away

In my mind I'm miles and miles away

In my mind I'm miles away

Because in my mind

I, I am

Miles and miles
