MILES AWAY Lyrics
So this is love, or so you tell me, as you're walkin' out the door
The months go by, and I know for certain, it's not the love I'm lookin' for
But sometimes just for a moment, I reach out, hope you're still there
Chorus:
Miles away, no you're never turnin' back and I just can't wait anymore
Miles away, nothing left of what we had
Just when I needed you most, you were miles away
It's hard to tell what you're going through
You kept your feelings locked inside of you
Open your heart and chances are, what you're feeling, I'm feeling too
If only just for a moment, hold on to the dreams that we had
chorus
When times were tough, and you were down and out, who was there by your side
Now you've gone, I'm so tired of being alone with only your promises
(Solo)
The loneliness just fades away, thoughts of you just memories
No cryin' now for what we're missin', time won't forget what you meant to me
If only just for a moment, hold on to the dreams that we had
chorus repeats 2x
This song has very personal meaning to me. To me it's about a dear friend of mine I have/had, yet she was never around when I needed her. Though nothing romantic ever really aspired, I nonetheless felt really close to her. One day she dropped out of school and moved in with her boyfriend who lived 'miles away.' That was almost 7 months ago and I still sometimes think of her. When I do, this song is really comforting.
Also, the video seems to have been taylor made to this scenario in my life. If you want to check it out, goto launch.com
NOTE: Just today I regained contact with the girl in this text. However I wrote this as if I still hadn't seen her becasue I feel I could express how the song touched me better this way.
This song shows that from the moment you need youre best friend you find out your best friend isn't there... He found that he had to give up his relationship to move on with his life. Somtimes the person you love can sit right beside you and yet be miles away...
This song is a power ballad at its finest. To me, this song seems to be about still missing a lost love even though the relationship is long over. Although she may not actually be miles away, it feels like she is.
When you look up the meaning of "power ballad" you will see this song next to it. AWESOME SONG!!!!
This song never gets/got the credit it deserved. Great power ballad with powerful chorus. Kip's voice really shines in this song.
I can relate to this song to some extent. I liked someone who never bothered being in touch. I couldn't get this person out of my head. They went silent for years, just when everything went wrong in my life, when everybody let me down and didn't want to know me. This person later said they liked me, but I struggled to trust after the nightmare I went through + finding out they've been having relationships.... when I was waiting for so many years for this person. There's a part of me that still loves this person and a part of me that has lost trust.
This song reminds me of a two week business trip I had to make to Asia. When I returned, home, my wife told me that our little girl would walk around our house singing "miles away" and saying "I miss my daddy". Still tugs at my heart to this day.
Gone gone gone, movin on
