This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time. Don't let the lyrics deceive you.
Oh doubt in the girl by your side
She’s feeding your pride
As you go for a ride down the star mile
Worlds arise as she lets you come in
A duo begins
To the Hollywood din of lonely
And all the gold dust in her eyes won’t reform into rain
You had and lost the one thing
You kept in a safe place
Remember the face
Of the girl who made you her own
And how you left her alone
All’s well at the base of the hill
You might need to fill
a prescription to kill off the silence.
Look down from your tower on high and take in the night
Look her right in the eye
She’ll listen
And all the gold dust in her eyes won’t reform into rain
You had and lost the one thing
You kept in a safe place
Remember the face
Of the girl who made you her own
And how you left her alone
Life comes to those that are true
The regular news
Over playing the blues with the light on
And if you burn the road that’ll lead you back to her in time
I'll watch you turn to stone
Can’t find the sublime
She’s moving on without you
The tide breaks
You watch the stars fade
They gather you back to their home
I guess it’s better than being alone
"Star Mile," by Joshua Radin
