| I took a trip up the west coast
|
| LAX to SFO
|
| Was searching for a temp so low
|
| And a summer high
|
| The Sun swayed and set slow
|
| Made waves with some friends I know
|
| Got lost in the ebb and flow
|
| Of the drifting tide
|
| (And I)
|
| I didn’t ever want to come down
|
| From that West Coast rush and summer high
|
| And easy, peaceful sense of time
|
| (I felt so alive)
|
| Now I’m alone when I’m back home
|
| It’s cold and old
|
| But in my mind
|
| I am
|
| Miles and miles
|
| Away
|
| I am miles away
|
| Pretty pretty girls on two wheels
|
| Dolores Heights and a laid back feel
|
| We sat and drank for a while until
|
| The city came alive
|
| We were smoking with strangers
|
| We were dancing with the lights on
|
| I was singing to «The Angels»
|
| See that’s my favorite X song
|
| (And I)
|
| I didn’t ever want to come down
|
| From that West Coast rush and summer high
|
| And easy, peaceful sense of time
|
| (I felt so alive)
|
| Now I’m alone when I’m back home
|
| It’s cold and old
|
| But in my mind
|
| I am
|
| Miles and miles
|
| Away
|
| Miles away ma-ma-ma-miles and
|
| Miles away ma-ma-ma-miles away
|
| When the buzz ain’t like it was
|
| Then it’s time for a change
|
| Just a subtle change
|
| A tongue full of only tomorrow’s
|
| Will never quench your thirst for today
|
| So what do you say we take a trip miles away
|
| (Just take a trip, just take a trip)
|
| You take a trip miles away
|
| (Just take a trip, just take a trip)
|
| Just take a trip miles away
|
| I don’t ever want to come down
|
| From this west coast rush and summer high
|
| And easy, peaceful sense of time
|
| (I feel so alive)
|
| At the moment any place I go
|
| Is beautiful
|
| Because in my mind
|
| I am
|
| Miles and miles
|
| Away
|
| Miles Away
|
| Ma-ma-ma-miles and
|
| Miles Away
|
| (ma-ma-ma-miles)
|
| Because in my mind I
|
| I am
|
| Miles and miles |
