A Thousand Miles

The streets are empty 
And my mind is just as ripe 
Feeling this lonely 
Shouldn't be right 
But here I am 
A thousand miles 
Away 
From the doorstep 
Of the one 
I still loved 

Taking in 
I see the lights flicker 
The words that stand 
There in the dark 
I thought I could leave 
A thousand miles 
Back to where it all 
Began 
But that was too much 
To yearn for 
When I stepped aside 
And let you walk pass me 

The drink nearly empty 
Of my spirits 
Heavenly she knows 
Where I drowned 
My sorrows 
That warm feeling 
The glow that fills 
The cavities of my soul 
But I'm a thousand miles 
Away from what I thought 
I really know 
It isn't to no surprise 
That this here 
Has always been 

And I am wondering 
aimlessly 
Down the road 
Too far away 
To look back
