I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) Lyrics
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I have yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles
When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
When I come home yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
When I'm dreaming yes I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you
i don't think the meaning of this song is quite as obvious as people are making it out to be. this isn't a ''I WOULD DO ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING FOR YOU'' type of love song to me. i'm reading it as like "i would walk you home at night, i would party with you, i would even grow old with you, but i can't say i would do everything for you - i'm not completely self-sacrificing." that's why leading into the chorus he says i would do this and that BUT i would walk 500 miles and i would walk 500 more JUST TO BE THE MAN WHO WOULD walk 1000 miles to fall down at your door. the ''but'' and ''would'' in that chorus implies that he's NOT that man, and he can't be, but he can try his best. it could be that he can't satisfy her every emotional need or he's not romantic enough, but he wishes he was.
lol i love the fact that they wrote out all the 'da da da"s.
this song makes me happy and is wonderfully self-explanatory
haha, I know what haver means, haha. I guess I'll tell everyone. It means to maunder, talk foolishly, or to chatter basicly. HAHA!!!!!!!
This song makes me SO PROUD to be SCOTISH!!! whenever it comes on at our shite school parties everybody in the whole hall dives out of their seats and jumps up and down screaming it shamelessly. Its always the highlight of the night!!!
hahahaha same! :D
hahahaha same! :D
well ive just realised the ultimate fantasy- David Tennant singing this to me... BOOYAH! hahaha great song
what the hell are you people talking about in here. What does blink 182 have to do with anything.
If your still interested, haver is a Scottish word for lying. Its not big lies, just wee lies. I'm pretty sure it is anyway (its the way I've heard it used) Oh, and good song!
haver doesn't mean lying, it means to chatter, like blethering nonsense it's a good Scottish word :D

great song!
great song!
I love this so much! My favorite of all time. It's just the sweetest thing, without being cheesey or corny, and it's got an awesome beat. And what's even better! It's like the athem to Benny and Joon which is my favorite movie of all time! Great job on this one.
The new Scottish National Anthem, great band with some good up beat songs, this one should get the crowds going at the Scotland games :)
well, I think this song is about guy who's totally desperate for this girl that he would "walk 500 miles" for her. And he would "walk 500 more, just to be the man who walked a 1000 miles to fall down at your door".
So overall, it's a pretty cool, and damn catchy, song.
