Miles Away
A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're miles away

I'm not messing about, I've got a mile of self-doubt
Yeah, you're not even close yet
Because you're miles away
Another day in bed, sorting out your head
You don't know what you're thinking about
You're not right all of the time
Its funny when you're wrong

You're miles away, no one can stop me
So far, it's funny when you're falling over

You're the robot voice, and the people's choice
Yeah, you blink and it goes wrong
Because you're miles away
You're not even warm, human after all
You don't know what you're talking about

You're not right all of the time
Its funny when you're wrong

You're miles away, no one can stop me
So far, it's funny when you're falling over, oh!

I'm too skint to pay my debtors
Uh-oh unopened letters
Feels like a siege I'm under
How did you get my number?
Oh oh, it's for the better
Than on the never ever
I'll get back and back and back
And back and back and back, around we go

You're miles away, no one can stop me
So far, it's funny when you're falling over

Miles away, no one can stop me
So far, it's funny when you're falling over

You're not right all of the time
It's funny when you're wrong





You're not right all of the time
It's funny when you're wrong

My grandfather grew up in those fields his whole life and worked them until the day his body gave out. Now I’m the first member of my family to go to college. I’m a senior at UOP in Stockton. This story just hits home on so many levels. I’m honored to be watching an early showing on Aug 30 at the University, in which he will be attending 🧡 ✊🏾 🇲🇽 Si Se Puede!

Nice. I also went to SJDC and transferred to UOP and graduated last year, and I haven't met Jose Hernandez myself but he was always at events that involved MESA and other science and engineering events from both schools, and many of my friends met him.

@wetguavass

working in the fields is better than gong to college .....

@therealjesuschrist9160

@@wetguavass thinking like that is what’s going to keep our people in those fields for centuries to come.
