Miles Behind Me

[Intro] (Psychedelic with pedal steel) [Verse 1] I had a line laid out before me Thought I’d walk it straight and true But every turn that didn’t warn me Turned me somewhere I never knew Now I’m lookin’ down the miles behind me Tryin’ hard to make it all make sense Every step I took to find me Just wandered off somewhere else instead [Pre Chorus] I been wishin’ it was different Than the way it all went down [Chorus] Every plan I thought was written Got lost before it came around Now I’m somewhere in between Who I am and who I'm meant to be Just killin’ time with broken dreams And livin’ on what might’ve been [Verse 2] I let go when I should’ve held on Held on when I should’ve let go Kept movin’ when the feelin’ felt wrong Stopped when I should’ve let it roll Funny how the truth can find you Long after the fact is gone Now the only thing that binds you Is knowin’ where it all went wrong [Pre Chorus] I been wishin’ it was different Than the way it all went down [Chorus] Every plan I thought was written Got lost before it came around Now I’m somewhere in between Who I am and who I'm meant to be Just killin’ time with broken dreams And livin’ on what might’ve been [Bridge] But maybe time ain’t just for losin’ Maybe it’s for second tries Maybe every road I’m choosin’ Ain’t as wrong as I decide [Break] (Strip down to bass + guitar, pause) Yeah… I ain’t outta roads yet [Final Pre Chorus] I been wishin’ it was different But I ain’t done writin’ yet [Final Chorus] Every line that felt inconsistent Might still lead me to what is best Now I’m somewhere in between Who I was and who I’m gonna get Not just killin’ time with broken dreams I’m makin’ peace with what I get [Outro] (Steel guitar rides out) Ain’t just killin’ time no more… I’m takin’ what time I get…
