I took a trip up the west coast, LAX to SFO
Was searching for a temp so low, And a summer high
The Sun swayed and set slow, Made waves with some friends I know
Got lost in the ebb and flow, Of the drifting tide (And I)
I didn't ever want to come down
From that west coast rush and summer high
And easy, peaceful sense of time (I felt so alive)
Now I'm alone when I'm back home
It's cold and old, But in my mind
I, I am, Miles and miles away
Pretty girls on two wheels, Dolores Heights and a laid back feel
We sat and drank for a while until, The city came alive
We were smoking with strangers, We were dancing with the lights on
I was singing to "The Angels", See that's my favorite X song
I didn't ever want to come down
From that west coast rush and summer high
And easy, peaceful sense of time (I felt so alive)
Now I'm alone when I'm back home
It's cold and old, But in my mind
I, I am, Miles and miles away
Miles away, In my mind I'm miles
and miles away, in my mind i'm miles away
When the buzz ain't like it was, Well then it's time for a change
Just a subtle change
A tongue full of only tomorrow's, Will never quench your thirst for today
So what do you say we take a trip miles away
Just take a trip, just a little trip, we'll take a trip miles away
Just take a trip, just a little trip, we'll take a trip miles away
I didn't ever want to come down
From that west coast rush and summer high
And easy, peaceful sense of time (I felt so alive)
At the moment any place I go
Is beautiful, But in my mind
I, I am, Miles and miles away
In my mind I'm miles
and miles away, in my mind i'm miles away
