Miles Away

I took a trip up the west coast

LAX to SFO

Was searching for a temp so low

And a summer high

The Sun swayed and set slow

Made waves with some friends I know

Got lost in the ebb and flow

Of the drifting tide

(And I)

I didn't ever want to come down

From that west coast rush and summer high

And easy, peaceful sense of time

(I felt so alive)

Now I'm alone when I'm back home

It's cold and old

But in my mind

I

I am

Miles and miles

Away

Pretty pretty girls on two wheels

Dolores Heights and a laid back feel

We sat and drank for a while until

The city came alive

We were smoking with strangers

We were dancing with the lights on

I was singing to "The Angels"

See that's my favorite X song

I didn't ever want to come down

From that west coast rush and summer high

And easy, peaceful sense of time

(I felt so alive)

Now I'm alone when I'm back home

It's cold and old

But in my mind

I

I am

Miles and miles

Away

In my mind I'm miles away

When the buzz ain't like it was

Well then it's time for a change

Just a subtle change

A tongue full of only tomorrow's

Will never quench your thirst for today

So what do you say we take a trip miles away

I don't ever want to come down

From this west coast rush and summer high

And easy, peaceful sense of time

(I feel so alive)

At the moment any place I go

Is beautiful

Because in my mind

I

I am

Miles and miles

Away
