She said "your girlfriend isn't all that"
Wears a smile under her baseball hat
"I think you've settled, boy
Won't be long till you find you're bored"
I said "We'll see, maybe give it a year
I've grown up now, whatever that means, and
I've seen too much to let myself go astray"
Just shook her head, took my hand and she said "Hey
There's no forever after
If you're bound to be an actor
The time that you waste is
Hard to replace so
Just give me an inch and I'll take
You to the the miracle mile"
She's a bonfire on the beach
Cuts through night with her light and heat
"You'll get burned boy just let it be"
I tell the mirror as I check my teeth
Our eyes lock I feel my stomach drop
Across the bar I hear her thoughts
She's thinking
"There's no forever after
If you're bound to be an actor
The time that you waste is
Hard to replace so
Just give me an inch and I'll take
You to the miracle mile"
Is this just anotherunaround
Like all the ones before?
If you don't put down roots you'll never grow, it's true
Or so I've been told
She said
"I'm a strange taste on your mouth
But I'm the thing you can't live without
Why think forever after
Just focus on my laughter
I'll let you walk me back
Over to my place
It's just out the doorway
Left on the miracle mile"
