Miles To Go
Craig Cardiff Lyrics


We've been driving this main state
For what seems like hours
The cars and our blood thick and slow
Trading miles for inches and we've got miles to go
And heavy loads

And I can see the clouds changing in the mirror behind
And my moods are the weather they change with the sky
But god how it feels to get up and fly
It's been coming for all this year

Then it's the film screen
Blue greens
Thunder and lightning movie scene

What amazes me the most
Is that we've come so close
And then it all comes undone
Then it all comes undone

And I'm making things harder in my usual way
And I'm growing through stages and mistakes I've made
But there's pages and pages of things I can't seem to say
And I know that I should come clean
Somewhere in between
The thunder and lightning

What amazes me the most
Is my fear of the ghosts
And then it all comes undone
Then it all comes undone

I don't know exactly what it's about
But I know it's been at least three times now
All the shit I put you through
Was relentless and useless
And my solution is I'm no good for you

And we're still driving this main state
And our state of driving
The cars and our blood thick and slow
Trading smiles and pinches and we've got miles to go
Miles to go
And miles to go
Miles to go
Miles to go

Dirty old town, dirty old town
I've got all your little problems clearly written down
But you don't even know, and can't even see
All the butterfly that you're going to be
All the butterfly that you are becoming

[Pre-Chorus]
All the roads, all the miles
But hair goes grey, eyes stay wide
Fall into bed, turn off the lights
Fall asleep inside

[Chorus 1]
You're the one, you're the one, you're the one
Hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
But you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
I carry your heart in my heart, sung with every song
But you're the one, you're the one

[Verse 2]
Poised with grace in this poisoned place
And how you ever manage to keep it off your face
But you don't even know and you can't even see
All the butterfly that you're going to be
All the butterfly that you are becoming

[Verse 3]
Dirty old town, dirty old town
They've got all of your little secrets fairly written down
And you don't even know and you can't even see
All the butterfly that you're going to be
All the butterfly that you are becoming

[Chorus 2]
But you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
Hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
But you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
I carry your heart in my heart, hearts become one
But you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
Hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one
But you're the one, you're the one, you're the one
I carry your heart in my heart, sung with every song
Fall asleep inside

[Instrumental]

dirty old town, dirty old town,
they've got all your little problems clearly written down.
you don't even know, don't even see
the butterfly that you're going to be,
the butterfly that you are becoming.

all the road, all the miles,
hair goes grey, eyes stay wide.
come to bed, turn off the lights
fall asleep inside of you. you're the one,

you're the one.
hearts grow into hearts until hearts become one.
you're the one, you're the one.
i carry you heart in my heart sung with every song.


poised with grace in this poisoned place.
how you ever manage to keep it off your face.
you don't even know, don't even see
the butterfly that you're going to be,
the butterfly you are becoming.

[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]
BY E. E. CUMMINGS
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Let me just say this... Last month I heard this song randomly on spotify. I loved it but I was washing the dishes and I was listening to it on a random playlist on shuffle... So the worst thing happened, the lyric and tune "you're the one, you're the one, you're the one" got stuck in my head. I got so depressed when I couldn't find this song anymore. I had no idea where to begin looking. I tried searching for this song on google, simply typing "you're the one 3x indie song" but the results never went to my favor. Fast forward: today I was randomly listening on Daily Mix on spotify and a familiar tune came in. Yes. It's this song. I got my little miracle today.
