miles to go

Gregory Alan Isakov

Hotel bar
Sinking in
Broken heart
Busted strings

Lamplight eyes
Telephone wires
Darkened sky
We re almost home

I ve been burning all my daylight
Running even midnight caught fire
Only way I ever learned how

Highway signs, cut the clay
You find yourself miles away

If you lie awake
While your universe shakes
And I go weightless and fall
Claws out for you now
Just hold on to yourself
Almost home
We got miles to go

Miles to go
But we re almost home
