Jackson Browne
Miles Away
[Verse 1]
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 that you don't hear me call

[Chorus]
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
Miles away, miles away

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Staring at that far horizon
I don't even know why I stay
You're already miles and miles away
Thousand miles away

[Post-Chorus]
(Miles away)
From these sad deliberations
(Miles away)
From a life in disarray
(Miles away)
And all these recriminations
And these stones all in your passway
Yeah
[Verse 3]
You got this rage choking up your voice
And you're behaving like an orphan child
I wanna be your friend but I got no choice
Than to fight when you're so mean and wild

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
(Miles away)
From these sad deliberations
(Miles away)
From the innocence betrayed
(Miles away)
The abandoned expectations
And the stones that we have laid

[Outro]
Stones, babe
They make a passway
(Miles away)
(Miles away)
(Miles away)
(Miles away)
(Miles away)
(Miles away)
(Miles away)
