Mile 102 Songtext
von Mike Maimone

I think I know you
I know I′ve seen your face
The rest stop at mile 102
Behind the coffee shop sandwich case
You said you only drink it black
I kinda like your taste

Woke up from a 90-mile-an-hour nap happy to be alive
One more cup of coffee should get me through the rest of the drive
I know it's been a couple days, and we′re about 1,000 miles away
But maybe one day I'll get back to mile 102 to hear you say

"Do you want anything else with your coffee?
Try a slice of meaning in your life"
I said, "Now there's a strange suggestion
But somehow girl I think you′ve pegged me just right"


And I need you around
I′m losing higher ground
I'm losing higher ground
And no, I don′t want to come down
I'm losing higher ground
I′m losing higher ground

Woke up from a 17-year nap
To realize that I'm alive (to realize that I′m alive)
Never thought a stranger would
Be the one to wake me up inside (be the one to wake me up inside)

But girl you poured a wiser cup of coffee (coffee)
And since we left I'm haunted by your eyes
Now we're back, we′re back to being strangers
But if I had you here with me I know I just might get it right

And I need you around
I′m losing higher ground
I'm losing higher ground
You know I don′t want to come down
I'm losing higher ground
I′m losing higher ground
