Miles Away - The Verve Pipe

Today was a great day

I said but I meant

Today was the worst day I’ve ever spent

I’m trying to be what you want me to be

So you’ll settle down

Stop driving me into the ground

Well it might be how you fight me till I’m shattered

I would leave you but to leave you wouldn’t matter

So beneath you, underneath you I am right here

Miles away

Today was a strange day

I meant what I said

Today was the first day that I looked ahead

And if I could be what you want me to be

Would you let me down

Stop driving me into the ground

Well it might be how you fight me till I’m shattered

I would leave you but to leave you wouldn’t matter

So beneath you, underneath you, I am right here

Miles away

Can I have your attention, have your respect

We all need redemption, some more or less

Now you fight me satellite me till I’m shattered

I would leave you but to leave you wouldn’t matter

So beneath you, underneath you I am right here

Miles away

Or it may be how you play me till I’m shattered

I defend it and pretend it doesn’t matter

If you need me then believe me i’ll be right here

Miles away
