Two Miles and a Lifetime Away
INTRO
VERSE
She’s not you—and she’ll never be
I’m not him—though they say he looks like me
God I hate those words—not meant to be
Ten years ago—I saw us differently
CHORUS
Now we’re two miles and a lifetime away
I drive by your house—on my way to work each day
And I—can’t help but wonder if—sometimes you wonder why fate
Left us two miles and a lifetime away
VERSE
Got a pair of kids—I hear you’ve got three
Wonder if they know that you know me
It’s a small town—but we never meet
Still I’m looking—even when I shouldn’t be
CHORUS
‘Cause we’re just two miles and a lifetime away
I drive by your house—on my way to work each day
And I can’t help but wonder—if Sometimes you wonder why fate
Left us two miles and a lifetime away
(INSTRUMENTAL)
BRIDGE
We both have someone who thinks we hung the moon
Could it be brighter—well we’ll never know the truth
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG
Only two miles but a lifetime away
