This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
If I could I would do all of this again
Travel back in time with you to where this all began
We could hide inside ourselves and leave the world behind
And make believe there's something left to find
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
Now we've all grown up, gone on and moved away
Nothing I can do about it, nothing I can say
To bring us back to where we were when life was not this hard (life was not this hard)
Looking back it all just seemes so far, so far away
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up, give it all away
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
I need you now, we're miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart
I need you now, we're miles apart
I may be leaving, but you're always in my heart
Travel back in time with you to where this all began
We could hide inside ourselves and leave the world behind
And make believe there's something left to find
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
Now we've all grown up, gone on and moved away
Nothing I can do about it, nothing I can say
To bring us back to where we were when life was not this hard (life was not this hard)
Looking back it all just seemes so far, so far away
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up, give it all away
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
I need you now, we're miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside you're always in my heart
I need you now, we're miles apart
I may be leaving, but you're always in my heart

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This song mean so much to me, it is almost exactly the same thing as what I'm going through, with the exception the girl is going away to college and her family is moving to Florida, so there is not much chance of seeing her. This song is great, in fact this whole CD is great.
Where can you find yhis song at?
yellowcardkid, I had the same thing happen to me, except my guy moved to germany, and I live in virginia, and I have seen him once in the year that he has been gone. It kind of sucks
Damn them Germans, mine left about a month back, and I'm in New Zealand... Check out "If theres a rocket tie me to it" or "Shut your eyes" by Snow Patrol, I find they fit in quite well with this one :)
i have been listening to yellowcard for years and they never cease to amaze me. i have been fortunate enough to have seen them live 4 times, they frick'n rocked my socks off everytime! one of the best live bands, how can you top sean's gnarly backflips? that's right you can't. anyway this song really touches home when you have a close pal move away, all i gotta say is the internet is a wonderful thing - makes it easier to stay in contact

"I'd give it up for just one more day with you Give it up, give it all away I'd give it up for just one more day with you"
I go emotionally insane when I hear that lyric
yellowcard is really good, even their old stuff rocks
i love this song.....its the 'theme song' to the inferno..haha
this song means alot. first off i think this song has deep personal meaning but is put into fun pop punk format. this song is a great one. yellowcard is my favorite band and they should be proud of what they have done
Miles apart is a good touched song which to my eyes is my 3rd Fav Song on the Album, also many people think the song is about a girl but in doubt it isnt, it is about friends and family in Florida goin to "Radio Rockstar Land" which is Californa, listening to the lyrics and beat makes me wonder of all the times i have moved (12) and really that song tells me im not alone.
