Miles
Cables and Space Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now yours oh mine
The miles we share

I can't seem to stop myself from kissing the surface
On the lips that I couldn't feel
Remembering how our bodies felt
We say our goodnights as we fall in love
How I wish I could touch your face
I just close my eyes and count the days

As I wish my hands to feel
The burn the taste to be real
My soul bows to the ground
With pride going down
I know I'm crazy so they say
The hope I feed to see one day
For these miles we'll burn down

Your changing what miles define from time to time
And so I go on
On and on we go on

As we stare
Still we stare

And I'll never stop myself from
Kissing the surface
On the lips that I soon will feel
Remember how our bodies felt
Goodnights and fall in love

Wish for your face
I just close my eyes and count the days

Line by Line Meaning

As we stare into our space
We daydream about holding each other, lost in our own thoughts

And a dream overtakes
That dream takes over our minds, the yearning for connection

Of holding you and breathe your air
The desire to be close, to share air and life with each other

A sudden pain we both will fake
We ignore the distance and pretend it doesn't hurt

How could I even know that I was falling
Love sneaks up on us, we didn't see it coming

Throwing words so innocent
We share harmless, playful words without realizing their true impact

Do you have to be so beautiful
Your beauty takes my breath away, making it hard to resist you

As I read you drown my time
I lose myself in your words, getting lost in thoughts of you

Now yours oh mine
We share a connection, blending our lives together

The miles we share
Our distance challenges us, but we share this challenge together

I can't seem to stop myself from kissing the surface
I kiss my screen, hoping to feel closer to you

On the lips that I couldn't feel
I wish I could feel your lips on mine

Remembering how our bodies felt
I reminisce our moments together, cherishing the memories

We say our goodnights as we fall in love
We say our goodnights, but our love continues to grow stronger

How I wish I could touch your face
I long to touch you, feel your skin against mine

I just close my eyes and count the days
I can only imagine our future together, anticipating the day we'll be in each other's arms

As I wish my hands to feel
I daydream about feeling your touch

The burn the taste to be real
I imagine feeling the passion and fire between us, and the taste of your lips

My soul bows to the ground
My heart is humbled by my love for you

With pride going down
Despite my vulnerability, my love for you is strong

I know I'm crazy so they say
Others may think I'm foolish or naive for loving from afar

The hope I feed to see one day
I hold onto the hope that we'll be together someday

For these miles we'll burn down
Our love will conquer the distance, no matter how many miles separate us

Your changing what miles define from time to time
Our love challenges the definition of distance, making it feel smaller at times

And so I go on
Despite the challenges, I continue to love and hope

On and on we go on
Our love will persevere, continuing on and on

Still we stare
We continue to long for each other, staring into the distance

As we stare into our space
And a dream overtakes
Of holding you and breathe your air
A sudden pain we both will fake
How could I even know that I was falling
Throwing words so innocent
Do you have to be so beautiful
As I read you drown my time
Now yours oh mine
The miles we share
I can't seem to stop myself from kissing the surface
On the lips that I couldn't feel
Remembering how our bodies felt
We say our goodnights as we fall in love
How I wish I could touch your face
I just close my eyes and count the days
As I wish my hands to feel
The burn the taste to be real
My soul bows to the ground
With pride going down
I know I'm crazy so they say
The hope I feed to see one day
For these miles we'll burn down
Your changing what miles define from time to time
And so I go on
On and on we go on
As we stare
Still we stare
And I'll never stop myself from
Kissing the surface
On the lips that I soon will feel
Remember how our bodies felt
Goodnights and fall in love
Wish for your face
I just close my eyes and count the days
