lyrics

I left home and swore to be a man by an on-ramp
Trade out the governors for guns
I left home but I was beating up the person I had worked so hard on and kept him on the kerb
You stayed alone, and lived in the hearts of the guards in the north of England
Grew silent, sad and calm
When you told me you'd be lost without me, I never heard you
But if I could now, I'd hold on

But you're a thousand miles away
Another million you're gonna stay
Dirt on a hollow grave
Combing all the walls away
People in the love have enough cause to stay

But eyes see further in time
In the dust, you were happy
And I'm on an ordinary road

Now I'm stuck, but you're along as I’m trying to move on
I plan on leaving, maybe then you'll really be gone
Cause I wanna be a part of something
And kept away from the bitter sin
But it can take just one short fight by the sink
Til it's playing again in my head that you said

"You're a thousand miles away, another million I'm gonna stay"
I hope there's nothing in your way
And nothing to get in mine to remind me of times we unwind on the road
But you're a thousand miles away
You're a thousand miles away
But you're a thousand miles away
And another million you're gonna stay
