Million Miles Away Lyrics
There was a time, looking through myself
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped, I could fill myself
I don't think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
When I went away, what I really left
Left behind was me
It's telling me
To be on my way home
Million miles away
I can't stay
Each passing day, every passing face
Seems like such a blur
I long to be
Home, silently
Lying next to her
Just to get back, by her side is all
All I need to be
Cause I went away
But what I really left
Left behind was me
I need to be
Getting on my way home
A million miles away
Million miles away
I can't take
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped, I could fill myself
I don't think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
When I went away, what I really left
Left behind was me
To be on my way home
Million miles away
I can't stay
Seems like such a blur
I long to be
Home, silently
Lying next to her
Just to get back, by her side is all
All I need to be
Cause I went away
But what I really left
Left behind was me
Getting on my way home
A million miles away
Million miles away
I can't take

lack originality? listen to Jennifer Lost the War and then listen to any song from Conspiracy. two different sounds, yet so closely related. takes originality to create two different sounds to call unique to yourself and then make them so closely the same. takes a whole lot of originality, something those orange county boys obviously have. i think people who say they are loseing their toutch are too closed minded to realize the truth. they are a force to be on earth for quite a while, ever changing every day, creating their sound to call their own.
I cannot believe these lyrics have not been transcribed. It is one of The Offspring's most overtly deep songs.
Everyone in their late teens to early twenties thinks that there is a big world out there and in order to define who they are to themselves they have to go and sample it. What Dex realises when he is out there is that the woman he left behind is all he needs to feel himself so makes it his only quest to get back to what he left behind, ie himself personified in her.
This is it. This is the band, this is one of the songs that changed my prespective on the music world forever. It's basically about not knowing who you are or what you about. Trying to find your place in a crazy mixed up world, where everything is so far out of reach (million miles away)
Whenever I hear this song, it reminds me of a United States soldier who is off at war, longing to be home. Every passing day and face seems like such a blur when you know you could be shot dead any second.

i do agree
its just sooo powerful when u sing along to it aswell....its a feel good song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
feel good coz you've finally got words to describe what you're feeling. Better still, it's a song. offspring kickass
a lot of people hated conpsiracy of one and said offspring are starting to lack originality...i tend to agree with them, but nonetheless i still love the album and this is my personal favorite off the album..another kick ass song by the offspring...and i cant wait for the new album..keep the good songs coming
Fun fact: Prodigal was actually in the video for this song, I was at the concert.
I dont really listen to stuff like offspring but this song is brill!!! I was at a battle of the bands with my 5 best pals when this song was played we were all standing in a wee circle and it flet there was nohing around us it felt like we werw a million miles away from everyone and everything! this song reminds me of such a happy time and to be thankful for brilliant friend who i would want to be away with!!
i know this has nothing to do with this song but hey !!!!!!!!
a whole lote better than Fuel's lame song with the same title.
