"Miles Away" lyrics

"Miles Away"

My friends will ask me how I'm doin'
But I just can't lie to 'em
Not feeling fine today
I saw my dreams they were a
Ship on the ocean now it
Looks like they're miles away

Miles away
Hey, hey—they're miles away

I know there's always something we have to go through
That has some deeper meaning but
Right now I just can't say
I know there's gonna be a lesson somewhere
I'm gonna think a lot about it later
But right now I'm miles away

I'm miles away
Hey, hey, I'm miles away (Hey)
Hey, hey, hey, I'm miles away

I'm a million miles away
Where I don't have to think at all
Don't have to listen to you whisper
Your little secrets in the hall
Yeah I'd really love to talk about it
But I, I think I hear my mama calling me...

(Mmm, miles away) Miles away
(Mmm, miles away) Miles away

I know there's always something we have to go through
That has some deeper meaning but
Right now I just can't say
I know there's gonna be a lesson somewhere
I'm gonna think a lot about it later
Right now I'm miles away

I'm miles away
Hey, hey, I'm miles away (Hey, cha, cha, cha)
Miles away
Hey, hey, I'm miles away
Hey, hey, hey, I'm like miles away
Hey, hey, hey, I'm miles away
