Miracle Mile

I was supposed to do great things
I know the road was long
But I wasn't raised to shoot for fame
I had the safety on
I cut my ties, I sold my rings
I wanted none of this
If you start from scratch, you'll have to sing
Just for the fun of it
I'd be alright if I could just see you come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile, where does it lead to?
Come up for air, come up for air
I feel the air upon my face
Forget the mess I'm in
Hold me again, don't count mistakes
I lost track of them
I'd be alright if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile, where does it lead to?
Come up for air, come up for air
I was in the mud, I was in the dirt
Went underground and found what I was worth
All alone and I know I can't stay
So I'm walking up and down the streets to stay awake
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Get outside, get all around the world
You learned to love what you get in return
It may be problem and it may be peace of mind
But you have to slow down and breathe one breath at a time
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
Come up for air, come up for air, come up
I'd be alright if I could just see you
Come up for air, come up for air
A miracle mile, where does it lead to?
Come up for air, come up for air
I'd be alright if I could just see you
A miracle mile, where does it lead to?
