16 Miles
Boo Hewerdine
Letra

Did you ever see London at night
And not want to go home?
Did you ever take drugs, stay up late
Just to see what you would see?
Did you ever have love and hate
Scratched across your hand?
Or did you turn round
With 16 miles to go?

Did you ever just walk away
And disappear for days?
Did you ever have a girlfriend
Called Catherine Wheel?
Did you ever come home from work
Saying "I'm never going back again"?
Or did you turn round
With 16 miles to go?

Did you ever want to kiss me
So hard it bled?
Did you ever find yourself laughing
In the middle of the day?
Did you ever think about the first time
That I came in you?
Or did you turn round
With 16 miles to go?

Think about the world
Those who'd see us hang
Say it's the only language
We understand, we understand

And all those lives
We'll never know
If we turn round with
16 miles to go
