Thousand Miles Away

A pebble in streams

Flowers in fields

Rocks on mountain sides

Wind from God knows where

I could move a thousand miles away

But I'd still be right here

Where I am now

I can't escape it

Can't even fake it

It's alright

Cause past is past

It went by so fast

And you know I'm the last

That'd hold that against you

On a windy street in Chicago

There's a man

Who'd give anything

To swap cities with me

But what's the use

I could move a thousand miles away

But I'd still be right here

Where I am now

I can't escape it

Can't even fake it

It's not so much a state

But a state of mind

How can fields and streams

Seem like prison

It's only in my head

It's alright

Cause past is past

And you know I'm the last

That'd hold that against you

I could move a thousand miles away

But I'd still be right here

Where I am now

I can't escape it

Can't even fake it

A young boy

Sits alone on the beach

Staring at the waves

Wishing for some place else

He doesn't even know where

It's alright

Cause past is past

And good things don't always last

So just let's let this lie

I could move a thousand miles away

But I'd still be right here

Where I am now

I can't belate it

Cause this is how we made it

So I'll say good night

And go
