"The Miles 'Til Home" lyrics - THE ELECTED

You finally chased the rest of them away
You finally chased the rest of them away
You finally chased the rest of them away
You finally chased the rest of them away
And the weak ones were the ones that stayed
And the place they held before you came
Changed but they acted just the same
And the names that carried so much faith drained your tired mind
And the best one stayed behind, watching out for open road
Counting all the miles 'til home
And it seems you leaned on the wrong guy
And it hurt the place you...
Held, you held within your heart
It got erased and where it was has now gone dark
So you left. You left without a trace
And you never, no you never, no you never
No you never came back 'til the last ones forgot your name
Don't change your mind tonight
Caught along the open road, counting all the miles 'til home
And it seems you dreamed on the wrong sky
You gave your last request to a firing line
And you said it doesn't matter what you do, babe
You always feel it chasin' you and it blocks the sun from the sky
You just wish you had more time
You say you never win. I say that's a lie
