A Mile Still Alone

Verse 1

I found your jacket in the hall

Still smells like rain and second thoughts

You always said I'd be the one to fall

I guess I proved you right a lot

Pre-Chorus

And I don't wanna call

But my thumb is on your name

And I don't wanna crawl

But I'm doing it all the same

Chorus

So take the long way home

Take the long way home

I'll be standing in the porch light

Waiting on my own

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

Every mile you don't come back

Is a mile I'm still alone

Verse 2

My brother says I'm wasting time

My mother says to let it be

I'm drawing circles in my mind

Around the things you said to me

Pre-Chorus

And I don't wanna break

But the mirror's doing fine

And I don't wanna wake

With your side of the bed still mine

Chorus

So take the long way home

Take the long way home

I'll be standing in the porch light

Waiting on my own

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

Every mile you don't come back

Is a mile I'm still alone

Bridge

I don't hate you

I don't blame you

I just miss the way you said my name

I don't need you

I don't fear you

I just never learned to walk away

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

I'll be standing in the porch light

Waiting on my own

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

Every mile you don't come back

Is a mile I'm still alone

Outro

Take the long way

Take the long way home
