Jackson Browne - MILES AWAY lyrics

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 you don't hear me call

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

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

Staring at that far horizon

I don't even know why I stay

You're already miles and miles away.

Miles Away

From these sad deliberations

From a life in disarray

And all these recriminations

And these stones all in your passway

You got this rage choking up your voice

And you're behaving like an orphan child

I want to be your friend but I got no choice

Than to fight when you're so mean and wild

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

From these sad deliberations

From the innocence betrayed

The abandoned expectations

And the stones that we have laid
