Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a time, looking through myself
Wanting to pretend if I escaped
I could fill myself, I don't think you can
Been far and wide but that hole inside
Never really leaves, when I went away
What I really left, left behind was me
[Verse 2]
It's telling me to be on my way home
[Verse 3]
Oh, oh, million miles away
Oh, oh, million miles away
I can't stay, I can't stay
Oh, oh, million miles away
[Verse 4]
Each passing day, every passing face
Seems like such a blur I long to be
Home, silently lying next to her
Just to get back, by her side is all
All I need to be, I went away
What I really left, left behind was me
[Verse 5]
I need to be getting on my way home
[Verse 6]
Oh, oh, million miles away
Oh, oh, million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Oh, oh, million miles away
[Verse 7]
It's telling me to be on my way home
[Verse 8]
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
[Verse 9]
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
