Miles Away
I spend days that turn to weeks lying in wait
For letters blotted by ink that bleeds
Like brothers on the fore
I miss them all but I miss you more
Do you ever think that we could be
What you see in dreams?
Twenty-four wars a day when I'm away
Miles away
We know hell for heaven's sake
Miles away, you're miles away
Live to fight another day
Miles away, you're miles away
Can you feel me in the moment you awake?
Feel the breath and the gentle weight
I still see you every morning
Getting dressed while I'm still half asleep
Does the image ever fade away?
I used to love that autumn breeze
But every draw of air's a waste
When you're deader than the leaves
We know hell for heaven's sake
Miles away, you're miles away
Caught a fever that won't shake
Miles away, you're miles away
Boots are shined and rifle's clean
Miles away, you're miles away
Live to fight another day
Miles away, you're miles away
It's all we talk about these days
All the waiting and the wanting in between
I know that you'll keep safe
All those miles away
But now I want to bleed
Like every brother before me in the war
I'd rather walk toward the gates
Than march in line and miss you more
We know hell for heaven's sake
Miles away, you're miles away
Caught a fever that won't shake
Miles away, you're miles away
Boots are shined and rifle's clean
Miles away, you're miles away
Live to fight another day
Miles away, you're miles away
For letters blotted by ink that bleeds
Like brothers on the fore
I miss them all but I miss you more
Do you ever think that we could be
What you see in dreams?
Twenty-four wars a day when I'm away
Miles away
We know hell for heaven's sake
Miles away, you're miles away
Live to fight another day
Miles away, you're miles away
Can you feel me in the moment you awake?
Feel the breath and the gentle weight
I still see you every morning
Getting dressed while I'm still half asleep
Does the image ever fade away?
I used to love that autumn breeze
But every draw of air's a waste
When you're deader than the leaves
We know hell for heaven's sake
Miles away, you're miles away
Caught a fever that won't shake
Miles away, you're miles away
Boots are shined and rifle's clean
Miles away, you're miles away
Live to fight another day
Miles away, you're miles away
It's all we talk about these days
All the waiting and the wanting in between
I know that you'll keep safe
All those miles away
But now I want to bleed
Like every brother before me in the war
I'd rather walk toward the gates
Than march in line and miss you more
We know hell for heaven's sake
Miles away, you're miles away
Caught a fever that won't shake
Miles away, you're miles away
Boots are shined and rifle's clean
Miles away, you're miles away
Live to fight another day
Miles away, you're miles away
