Lyrics

MILES AWAY

The smallest gesture it would’ve taken and I’d be yours
a kiss goodnight that didn’t end in a question and I’d be yours

And you knew that, and you knew that
so you tied your hands, shut your eyes
darkened your ears, to my blanketed sighs

and look where it’s gotten me
miles away from you
and look where it’s gotten me
miles away from you
just making myself blue

the smallest gesture it would’ve taken and I’d be yours
my expectations forgot and forsaken and I’d be yours
a slip of the tongue, the tilt of the sun
and I’d be yours

and I knew that, and I knew that
so I held my hands, closed my eyes
drew the curtains, cried inside

And you know I tried to keep quiet
for the neighbors, for my pride, for the brighter side

a slip of the tongue, the tilt of the sun and I’d be yours
a dream of a man, a ring in his hand and still I’m yours

Look where it’s gotten me, miles away from you
yes I let him kiss me, but he’s miles away from you
look where it’s gotten me, miles away from you

just making myself blue, making myself blue.
