Star Mile
Joshua Radin · We Were Here [2006]
Old doubt and a girl by your side
She's feeding your pride as you go for a ride down the star mile
World's rise as she lets you come in
A duo begins to the Hollywood din of the lonely
And all the gold dust in her eyes won't reform into a ring
You had and lost the one thing you kept in a safe place
Remember the face
The girl who had made you her own and how you left her alone
All's well at the base of the hill
You might need to fill a prescription to kill off the sirens
Look down from your tower on high and take in the night
Look her right in the eye
She'll listen
And all the gold dust in her eyes won't reform into a ring
You had and lost the one thing you kept in a safe place
Remember the face
The girl who had made you her own and how you left her alone
Life comes to those that'll choose the regular news
Over playing the blues with the light on
And if you burn the road that'll lead you back to her in time
I'll watch you turn to stone
Can't find the sublime
She's moving on without you
The tide breaks
You watch the stars fake
They gather you back to their homes
I guess it's better than being alone
She's feeding your pride as you go for a ride down the star mile
World's rise as she lets you come in
A duo begins to the Hollywood din of the lonely
And all the gold dust in her eyes won't reform into a ring
You had and lost the one thing you kept in a safe place
Remember the face
The girl who had made you her own and how you left her alone
All's well at the base of the hill
You might need to fill a prescription to kill off the sirens
Look down from your tower on high and take in the night
Look her right in the eye
She'll listen
And all the gold dust in her eyes won't reform into a ring
You had and lost the one thing you kept in a safe place
Remember the face
The girl who had made you her own and how you left her alone
Life comes to those that'll choose the regular news
Over playing the blues with the light on
And if you burn the road that'll lead you back to her in time
I'll watch you turn to stone
Can't find the sublime
She's moving on without you
The tide breaks
You watch the stars fake
They gather you back to their homes
I guess it's better than being alone
