"1000 Miles Away" lyrics

1000 Miles Away

It's morning time
Wonder where you are
Wonder who you're talking to
Wonder if the sun has risen where you are
It's morning time
I miss your hands on my skin
This bed's too big without you
Oh God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away
And I'm lying next to you

The sun shines golden
And I feel like my car
A little run down, a little beat up
Maybe just a little green
Maybe it's my battery
Maybe it's my starter
Maybe my heart's too weak

There's just this feeling
Thought I had to get going
Got too scary, got too big
Got to get out of here
But now I don't know how to get home
Oh God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away
And lying next to you

These fields stretch out like patchwork
On my granny's quilt
She used to tell me
"Life is a series of strange
And mysterious things
One minute you think you're up
The next you find you're down
Your mind says
"Sweetheart, you gotta stick around"
But your heart says
"I'm too weak in the knees"
Oh God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away
Said oh God what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away
And I'm lying next to you
