(VERSE) The sun shines golden, and I feel like my car
a little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter,
maybe my heart's too weak
there's just this feeling, thought I had to get going
got too scary, got too big, got to get out of here
but now i don't know how to get home.
(CHORUS) Oh God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
(VERSE-as heard on "Rare Angels")
Mama says take my vitamins,
daddy says "girl, don't stay out so late"
sister says "there's other fishes in the sea"
but love is not a rational thing, and my heart is beyond advice
no, love is not a rational thing
(CHORUS) Oh God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
(VERSE) these fields stretch out like patchwork,
on my granny's quilt she used to tell me that
"life is a series of strange and mysterious things"
one minute you think you're up, the next you find you're down
your mind says "girl, you gotta stick around"
but your heart says "Oh, I'm too weak in the knees"
(CHORUS) Oh God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away, and lying next to you.
