Lyric discussion by OilyFingers 

Cover art for Million Miles Away lyrics by Offspring, The

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.
