Thousand Miles Away Lyrics

You are thousand miles away
Ooh
I miss you darling, yeah
You are thousand miles away, yeah
Sure enough I need you honey, yeah

What's mine, baby, is yours
I want you to have it honey, oh
But you are thousand miles away, yeah yeah
Ooh
I can't give it to you honey

What's yours I know is mine
I want my share, give it to me now
I'm a thousand miles away
Ooh
I can't get it from you, honey

Yeah, oh Lord, I'm suffering now, hey

Thousand miles away
One thousand
Lord, let me here from you, honey
Ooh

What's mine, baby, is yours
I want you to get it baby
But you're a thousand miles away
One thousand
Ooh
I can't give it to you honey

Yeah, uh
Lord, you got me suffering baby
Can't see you honey
I don't wanna hear from you
Don't call me on the phone baby
I love you, I wanna see you girl

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
