Miles Away
[Verse 1]
What you are in the kitchen with the flame?
Floating ‘round Jupiter, you hit a sympathetic vein
You got lucky fake ass monogamy, tell me that that’s a lie
Everybody falls before they fly

[Chorus]
And her body’s still warm, but you're miles away
A little baby was born, but she would not stay
We were getting it on, but you're miles away...
It couldn’t be my fault, “I’m a man” I say

[Verse 2]
She be the one I lost, she be the one in my outer space
So tell me now love, tell me now why I moonwalk whenever she walk away
‘Cause fake ass monogamy in me
Angel don’t you fall for gravity

[Chorus]
And her body’s still warm, but you're miles away
She tell me "nothing is wrong", but she's miles away
We were getting it on, but you're miles away...
It couldn’t be my fault, “I’m a man” I say

[Bridge]
All the love that we lost, are you waiting for a perfect day? (Yeah)
All the life that we lost, the life that we lost (when you're miles away)
(I am lost) You know that I'm lost
If I have lost
[Refrain]
When you're miles away
You're right here, but you're miles away
In your eyes I'm miles away
Don't lie, you're miles away

[Chorus]
And her body’s still warm, but you're miles away
A little baby was born, but she would not stay
We were getting it on, but you're miles away...

[Outro]
Wait.. wait.. wait.. wait...
Wait.. wait.. wait.. wait...
Wait.. wait.. wait.. wait...
Wait.. wait.. wait.. wait...
