[Verse 1]
It's morning time
Wonder where you are
Wonder who you're talking to
I wonder if the sun is risen where you are
It's morning time
I miss your hands on my skin
This bed's too big without you

[Refrain]
Oh, God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away
And lying next to you

[Verse 2]
Sun shines gold, and I feel like my car
A little run down, a little beat up, maybe just a little green
Maybe it's my battery, maybe it's my starter
Maybe my heart's too weak
There's just this feeling, thought I had to get going
Got too scary, got too big, sick girl, got to get out of here
But now, don't know how to get home

[Refrain]
Oh, God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away
And I'm lying next to you

[Verse 3]
Mama says take my vitamins
Daddy says, "Girl, don't stay out so late"
And sister says, "There's other fishes in the sea"
Oh, but love is not a rational thing
And my heart is beyond advice
No, love is not a rational thing

[Refrain]
Oh, God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away
I'm lying next to you

[Verse 4]
These fields stretch out like patchwork
On my granny's quilt, she used to tell me
That life is a series of strange and mysterious things, oh
One minute you think you're up, the next you find you're down
Your mind says, "Girl, you gotta stick around"
But your heart says, "I'm too weak in the knees"

[Refrain]
Oh, God, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away
Said, oh, what do I do?
I'm a thousand miles away
And lying next to you

[Spoken]
Thank you

Jewel
