Million Miles

You took a part of me that i really miss
I keep askin' myself how long can it go on like this
You told yourself a lie, that's alright, i told myself one too
Well i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you.
You took the silver, you took the gold
You left me standin' out in the cold
People ask about you, i didn't tell them everything i knew
Well, i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you.
I'm driftin' in and out of dreamless sleep
Throwin' all my memories in a ditch, a ditch so deep
I did so many things i never did intend to do
And i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you.
Well, i don't dare close my eyes and i don't dare wink
Maybe in the next life i'll be able to hear myself think
I feel like talkin' to somebody but i just don't know who
Well, i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you.
Rock me, pretty baby, rock me all at once
Rock me for a little while, rock me for a couple of months
You know honey i'll rock you too
Well i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you.
Well, there's voices in the night tryin' to be heard
I'm sittin' here listening to every mind-pollutin' word
And i know, i know plenty of people, just put me up for a day or two
Yes, i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you
Yes, i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you
