The Miles ’til Home Lyrics by The Elected

Me First

2004

[Intro]
You finally chased the rest of them away
You finally chased the rest of them away
You finally chased the rest of them away
You finally chased the rest of them away
[Verse 1]
And the weak ones were the ones that stayed
And the place they held before you came
Changed, but they acted just the same
And the names that carried so much faith
Drained your tired mind
And the best one stayed behind
[Chorus]
Watching out for open road
Counting all the miles till home
And it seems that you leaned on the wrong guy
And it hurt the place you held
[Verse 2]
You held within your heart
It got erased and where it was has now gone dark
So you left, you left without a trace
And you never, no, you never, no, you never
No, you never came back
Till the last ones forgot your name
[Bridge]
Don't change your mind tonight
[Chorus]
Caught along the open road
Counting all the miles till home
It seems you dreamed on the wrong sky
You gave your last request to a firing line
And you said, it doesn't matter what you do, babe
You always feel it chasin' you
And it blocks the sun from the sky
You just wish you had more time
You say you never win, I say that's a lie
[Interlude]
You have four messages. First message:
"Blake, you got my fucking studio keys, I can't lock the door, so call me back."
[Outro]
Maybe you'll be good to me
Maybe you'll be good to me
Maybe you'll be good to me
And I won't have to worry about me no more
No, I won't have to worry no more
And that has a nice ring, don't you think?
Tell
