MILE AWAY

You never kept it secret, but forgive me if I cry
The first thing you promised is we would say goodbye
But you didn't say when, didn't say how (ooh)
Told me not to stress and to keep my head down, but I peeked and

Now you can see me comin' from a mile away

I didn't write the play, but I got still lines to say
Got my life today, got my pages, and I'm a pro
So I know that the show's gotta go
When the light's bright on stage (places)
Life is mean, it's been months since I've seen her
But I still got that picture of us out in Argentina on my wall
Why'd I do it again when I know how it ends? Coulda seen it

Comin' from a mile away (ooh)
Comin' from a mile away
Comin' from a mile away (a mile away)
Comin' from a mile away (a mile away)
Comin' from a mile away

I used to think I'd been built to race
I'd run uphill at a filthy pace for like 50 years (ooh)
Fuck that shit, better fill the vase
Pick some roses and chill a case of like 50 beers (yeah)

Been spendin' too many nights runnin' inside of my mind
From what I can spy, come in, come a-knockin' on
On my creaky back door, no sneak attacks, dork, pop a cork
It's another year, another party

Wow, can you believe December's here? (Of course I can)
We say that same shit every fuckin' year (oh)
Let's get the next one out the way right now
(Oh my, oh my goodness, can you believe it? It's al-)

We're not slowin' down, time keeps rollin' and we do too
So would you mind if I got old with you?
There's no time to miss the past
The future is comin' fast, and it's singin' to us

Now you can see me comin' from a mile away (comin' from a mile away)
(Comin' from a mile away)
(Comin' from a mile away)
Comin' from a mile away
Comin' from a mile away

Now you can see me comin' from a mile away (now you can see me comin')
Comin' from a mile away
Comin' from a mile away
Comin' from a mile away
Comin' from a mile away
