Liv Wright - Miles to Go Lyrics

That was the day you told me
Everything's not as it seems
You took out a drawing it was
A picture of your family tree

And all of the lights in the city
Can't show what's inside
Holding hands across the table
We've both got something to hide

Remember the morning that you
Tried to read my mind
My thoughts are not all bad, honey
But you know that they're not kind

Statues of long-gone men they
Cast us into the shade
Stay in the shadows was it ever
Worth that price that you paid

Late into midnight
Nothing to lose
Put on your jacket
Put on your boots
Take over the streetlights
Take over the guns
Take over my memory
The air in my lungs

Two packs of cigarettes and
A tablecloth littered with ash
I've got a lot to say but
I don't have any cash
Living on your voice and
The sound of the train passing by
Drown it with my guitar and
The reputable sigh

You've got a ticket
A taxi stands by
We don't have time to think
What's left in the air is a lie
Wish you'd wind down your window and
Shout out some words
I know that you're thinking but you
Won't let be heard

So long I still have to go
So long indeed
Until I can rest my head oh it's
Miles until I can sleep
Walk in the forest with the midnight trees
Miles to go, its miles to go
Until your voice cries out for me
