Never thought I’d find you
I been searchin’ for years
The sweet taste of victory brings me to tears
I never thought I’d see land
Your light shines so bright
A life preserver in the night
CHORUS:
Miles and miles up ‘til dawn
One good taste and now it’s gone away
Leaving with the setting sun
Miles and miles and miles for a taste
Of heaven
Finally feel at home
In this sweet oasis
Every other formula has left me tasteless
I found a beacon of hope
In the desert sky
If I ever leave this place I’ll surely die
(Cause I went)
CHORUS
Nothing compares to you x4
They say you’re self-centered
But I only see a hole
I see a hole
They say you’re self-centered
But I can see through you
I see through
So I went miles
Yes I went miles
‘Til dawn just for a taste
(And now it’s gone away)
But I went miles (I went miles)
Yeah I went miles (Yeah I went miles)
All for a taste (All for a taste)
Of heaven
