Million miles

I watch the stars through a windowpane

Sky’s the same, but it don’t feel the same

Every mile pulls the thread of me

From the place where I was meant to be

I left chasing something I couldn’t name

Now I’m out here, calling just to hear your name

I’m a million miles from home

With nothing but a voice and a telephone

Carrying memories like a stone

Too heavy to let go, too far to throw

I still see your light through the unknown

Even a million miles from home

I walk through cities I don’t understand

Faces pass like drifting sand

I trade my days for something new

But there’s a piece of me still lost in you

Every road just leads me farther out

But your echo never drowns out

I’m a million miles from home

With nothing but a voice and a telephone

Carrying memories like a stone

Too heavy to let go, too far to throw

I still see your light through the unknown

Even a million miles from home

Maybe time will pull me near

Or maybe I was never meant to disappear

But if I find a way back through the haze

I’ll come running through the open gates

I’m a million miles from home

But your love is the thread that’s never gone

When I’m lost in skies I’ve never known

I close my eyes — and there you glow

I’ll find you again, no matter how far I roam

Even a million miles from home
