Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus 1]
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
I'm miles away

[Verse 2]
Pretty 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

[Chorus 1]
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

[Bridge]
Miles away
In my mind I'm miles and miles away
In my mind I'm miles away...

[Verse 3]
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 take a trip miles away
(Just take a trip)
Just take a trip miles away

[Chorus 2]
I don't ever want to come down
From this west coast rush and summer high
And easy, peaceful sense of time
(I feel so alive)
At the moment any place I go
Is beautiful
Because in my mind
I
I am
Miles and miles
Away

[Outro]
Miles away
In my mind I'm miles and miles away
In my mind I'm miles away...
Because in my mind
I
I am
Miles and miles
