A Million Miles For This

I packed up the decades in an old wooden box
Left behind the sirens and the ticking clocks
Now we’re sitting on the porch of a crooked little dream
A house built of memories, right by the stream

No highway out here, just the rustling grass
Watching the wild golden horses pass

We spent a lifetime running, just to learn how to stand
Holding the years like dirt in our hands
The noise is all gone, the rushing is done
We traded the clock for the setting sun
Yeah, we bought this quiet with a million miles
Now the only thing left to do is smile

Just an old sleepy dog and the desert so wide
And you, my old friend, sitting right by my side
Look at this castle we painted from youth
A surreal little heaven, our beautiful truth

No crowds at the door, no shadows to fight
Just the stars slowly waking to welcome the night

We spent a lifetime running, just to learn how to stand
Holding the years like dirt in our hands
The noise is all gone, the rushing is done
We traded the clock for the setting sun
Yeah, we bought this quiet with a million miles
Now the only thing left to do is smile

Every gray hair is a story we told
We finally found what is better than gold

The rushing is done
We traded the clock for the setting sun
