You took a part of me that i really miss I keep askin' myself how long can it go on like this You told yourself a lie, that's alright, i told myself one too Well i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you. You took the silver, you took the gold You left me standin' out in the cold People ask about you, i didn't tell them everything i knew Well, i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you. I'm driftin' in and out of dreamless sleep Throwin' all my memories in a ditch, a ditch so deep I did so many things i never did intend to do And i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you. Well, i don't dare close my eyes and i don't dare wink Maybe in the next life i'll be able to hear myself think I feel like talkin' to somebody but i just don't know who Well, i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you. Rock me, pretty baby, rock me all at once Rock me for a little while, rock me for a couple of months You know honey i'll rock you too Well i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you. Well, there's voices in the night tryin' to be heard I'm sittin' here listening to every mind-pollutin' word And i know, i know plenty of people, just put me up for a day or two Yes, i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you Yes, i try to get closer but i'm still a million miles from you
