Straylight Run - Mile After Mile lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Somewhere past the fields.<br>

Past the reeds and evergreens she sleeps.<br>

My bright eyed, holy child.<br>

That dream of mine come to life.<br>

My sad and sweet soulmate.<br>

<br>

Mile after mile of crumbling roads spread across this nation just like veins.<br>

They keep moving me through,<br>

Keep pushing me away from her and towards lonely beds and long cold days.<br>

<br>

And now I can see it.<br>

Now I just know that I've pushed too much,<br>

Held too much back.<br>

I've been too much intact when I'm falling apart.<br>

I need her now.<br>

Need her more than anything.<br>

<br>

I'll wait while hours pass like days.<br>

Until I come home,<br>

Until I can touch her face.<br>

Until I can waste the days away in comfort and in solitude with her.<br>

Safe and secure in our home.<br>

<br>

And now I can see it.<br>

Now I just know that I've pushed too much,<br>

Held too much back.<br>

I've been too much intact when I'm falling apart.<br>

I need her now.<br>

Need her more than anything.<br>

<br>

And I tell myself "Soon you'll be back home"<br>

And I tell myself "Soon you'll be back home"<br>

"Soon you'll be back home"<br>

"Soon you'll be back home"<br>

"Soon you'll be back home"<br>

"Soon you'll be back home"<br>

"Soon you'll be back home"<br>

<br>

And now I can see it.<br>

Now I just know that I've pushed too much,<br>

Held too much back.<br>

I've been too much intact when I'm falling apart.<br>

I need her now.<br>

Need her more than anything.<br>
