A Thousand Miles Away From Your Door Lyrics

I was standing in the rain outside your stairway

With a basket full of clothes that you once wore

So I said to myself hey self what are you doing here?

Are you asking to be tortured a little more?

So I carried boxes furniture and clothing

Till my clothes and I were both soaked to the skin

And I asked you for a cold beer and a tee shirt

And you said make yourself at home honey how've you been?

I said I do alright I've got ten women every night

And I'm in the process of adding a couple of more

But you know that I'd be yours if you'd just ask me honey

But you're a thousand miles away from my door

Cookies beer and thunderstorms and love songs

While your boyfriend comes in walking with a plant

And I'm laying underneath your drawing table

And I'm thinking that I can please you and he can't

And he's trying to apologize for something that he didn't do

While you're turning your back to his face like some kind a monkey in the zoo

He asks you for his clothes back and it all sounds so familiar

And he leaves without a whisper I guess you're happy with him but still you're

Driving me insane the way that you ask me if I want some more

Cookies beer and thunderstorms a thousand miles away from my door

As if that weren't enough you've got to change into a swimsuit

And walk me to your hot tub in the rain

I'm standing there mouth open half of me dreaming half of me hoping

When you turn around and ask me to explain

And I'm thinking you look nice and I'd like to have you twice

Once here and one time later just for fun

But before I even can you boyfriend shows up again

And I'm praying that he ain't carrying a gun

After telling him goodbye you come back and looked me in the eye

And you tell me that someday I'll find what I'm looking for

And that it might even be you but that's going to be kind of hard to do when

When you're a thousand miles away from my door

Honey what do you expect have you got something to protect

It seems obvious to me that you aren't sure

Do we really both feel the same or are you still playing some kind of game

About a thousand miles away from my door
