[Verse 1]
Friday night, I just got back
Had my eyes shut, was dreaming bout the past
I thought about you while the radio played
I shoulda got loaded, some reason I stayed
I started drifting to a different place
I realized I was falling off the face of the world
And there was nothing there to bring you back

[Chorus]
Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring you back today
Today, oh no

[Verse 2]
I took a ride way downtown
The streets were empty, there was no one around
I went to places that we used to go
Seen all the faces that we used to know
I'm at the wrong end of the looking-glass
I tried to hold onto the hand of the past and then you
And there's nothing there to bring you back

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
Cuz you're a million miles away
A million miles away
You're just a million miles away
A million miles away
And there's nothing there to bring you back today
Today-ay-ay, oh no!

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
