such a heavy price to pay
all the time that i've spent missing home
and i try not to complain
but sometimes it won't leave me alone
and i think i know myself better than anyone else
cause i'm me
i oughta know
what i want
what i need
what's inside of me
maybe something that i took to get outta my head
or took for the thrill
the way i dress
the way that i look
or the way that i pay the bills
'cause you're miles away
miles away
how could you be so wrong
'cause you're miles away
miles away
how could you know the score
all eyes on the stage
all the glitter and glow
move to the rhythm
wile striking a pose
music and melody
and words to a poem
you think that you know me
you're not even close
though i'm living out my dream
wasn't long 'til i figured it out
nothing ever comes for free
even here on the merry-go-round
so you wanna take a ride
rollin'
and living the life
'cause you think i got it made
well
in case you don't know
my friend died today
and it's tearing me apart
if i knew what to say
don't know where to start
i reached down in my heart
and with paper an pen put it in a song
'cause you're miles away
miles away
how could you be so wrong
'cause you're miles away
miles away
how could you know the score
all eyes on the stage
all the glitter and glow
move to the rhythm
wile striking a pose
music and melody
and words to a poem
you think that you know me
you're not even close
the pages have burned but they're written in stone
now
what will become of us
nobody knows
and the wheel keeps on turning
i rise and i fall
and i try to get back
but i'm lost in it all
and i look all around
and i see that it's gone
you're miles away
miles away
yeah
you're miles away
yeah
you're miles away
miles away
yeah
you're miles away
