When they find you swinging from the rafters in your penthouse pen, oblivion might not seem so funny - cos mighty men fall furthest when they present this fake macho front You were so close, but you can’t see behind that wall You were so close, but so callous, so insecure That day on the train, did you imagine that I felt the same when you said “He’s only got himself to blame”? Wipe the shit from your grin cos I’m sure that you’ll go out in style One mile is not enough One mile Talk tall, talk tough One milе in their shoes, have you еver thought you are the reason that he couldn’t go one mile more? You’re not living in the here and now, so tell me how you’re punching down the already trodden? Your conscience slipped but once it’s flipped and you’re stuck in it you’ll soon be forgotten So close but searching for something more So close to the sanctuary of the shore That day on the train we laughed our way through the strain - but she seemed so absent and frail, like she’d already checked out But she still raised a glass and a smile One mile is not enough One mile. Talk tall, talk tough One mile in their shoes, have you ever thought you are the reason that she couldn’t go one mile more? So give me your big idea, cos we’re all drowning here That crash-cart’s coming for us all You might start running when it calls, and you know it - pride before a fall I always wonder, and so do you - what pulled them under? What pulls us through? We’re none of us immune to a self-destructive brain That day on the train I still imagine if he felt afraid, or just glad to be rid of the pain, and I’m just glad we’re not all so uncaring and stuck in denial One Mile
