You said you'd always be there for me
You said you'd always be in my life
But now, oh, now you're chasing dragons instead

You told me I was chasing the moon
I should have listened up but I'm a fool
A fool tangled up in your web

All for the taste of wine stained lips
200 miles just to get my fix it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be
You're bringing me down and I need to get some sleep

9 miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
9 miles to happiness
I've got something to live for

Please tell me old friend
Did you find what your looking for?
I'd like to tell you that without you
I'm so happy I could die

All for the taste of wine stained lips
200 miles just to get my fix it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be
You're bringing me down and I need to get some sleep

9 miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
9 miles to happiness
I've got something to live for

9 miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
9 miles to happiness
I've got something to live for

It seems that I can't count
All the roads that I've been down
And it seems that I can't count all the towns
That I've drown in and burned to the ground

But I would have found what I found
This place so full of style
And second hand love so incredibly cheap
I stayed for nine months and I stayed for nine weeks

9 miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
9 miles to happiness
I've got something to live for

9 miles to happiness
I know because I've been there before
9 miles to happiness
I've got something to live for
