Miles away
I was miles away
I was miles away
I know I'm next to you, babe
But I was miles away
What did ya say?
What did ya say?
Tell me, What did ya say?
I wasn't listenin', babe
Tell me, what did ya say?
I know you waited (when'll you come back home?)
Where I wanna be (you've been away so long)
I know you're ready (I'm always on my own)
You know I wanna be
Driftin' away
You're always driftin' away
Driftin' away
Girl, I'm callin' your name
But you keep driftin' away
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame?
Ain't it a shame?
The way I kiss your face
And yet we're miles away
I'm out here waitin' (when'll you come back home?)
Where could you be? (I been away too long)
You're always runnin' (you're always on your own)
Come stand by me
Where was I goin'?
Where have I gone?
Where did I get to?
Left the light turned on
I didn't mean to
I wanted to stay
But I just wandered
Miles away
Miles away
I was miles away
I was miles away
Though I was next to you, baby
I was miles away
I'm out here waitin' (when'll you come back home?)
Where could you be? (I been away too long)
You're always runnin' (you're always on your own)
Come stand by me
I'm out here waitin' (when'll you come back home?)
Where could you be? (I been away too long)
You're always runnin' (you're always on your own)
Come stand by me (I been away too long)
I'm out here waitin' (when'll you come back home?)
Where could you be? (I been away too long)
You're always runnin' (you're always on your own)
Come stand by me (I been away too long)
I'm out here waitin' (when'll you come back home?)
Where could you be? (I been away too long)
You're always runnin' (you're always on your own)
Come stand by me (I been away too long)
I'm out here waitin' (when'll you come back home?)
Where could you be? (I been away too long)
You're always runnin' (you're always on your own)
Come stand by me (I been away too long)
