Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your coffee mug sits on the counter still
Three days old, the ring won't wash away
The morning paper's folded how you like
I checked the crossword - blank, just like today
[Chorus]
Miles keep adding up somehow
Each exit sign feels just like home
But my wheels won't let me turn around
While your routine goes on alone
[Verse 2]
The calendar's marked with soccer games
Your handwriting beneath Tuesday's square
The front porch light burns through evening rain
The mail piles up beside your favorite chair
[Chorus]
Miles keep adding up somehow
Each exit sign feels just like home
But my wheels won't let me turn around
While your routine goes on alone
[Bridge]
[Soft Piano]
I know the kitchen light's on now
You're standing there at half-past eight
Making breakfast for just one somehow
While my side of the bed stays made
[Verse 3]
Your morning shows still play at seven sharp
I set my watch to catch them as they start
Through static stations in unfamiliar towns
I hear your voice between the radio sounds
[Chorus]
Miles keep adding up somehow
Each exit sign feels just like home
But my wheels won't let me turn around
While your routine goes on alone
[Outro]
(Your coffee's getting cold)
(The crossword stays undone)
[Soft Piano fades]
