Miles Apart
Full Colour Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Miles apart, we were sitting in the dark
I was wondering if I'm in your head
Well I know what's in mine, I've been thinking it for time
I've been thinking about someone else instead

There's someone next to me, maybe someone that I'd like to keep
Collapsed relationships, they engulf me
And now our hands are intertwined, you're really in my mind
And I'm feeling really guilty, you see

Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
These uncovered hidden treasures
Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
When we're miles apart

And don't we all love these guilty pleasures
These uncovered hidden treasures
Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
When we're miles apart

And now we're back home, we're not speaking on the telephone
And everything is slowly starting to decay
But you are not aware, you still seem to care
And I really don't understand why you want to stay

Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
These uncovered hidden treasures
Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
When we're miles apart

And don't we all love these guilty pleasures
These uncovered hidden treasures
Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
When we're miles apart

Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
These uncovered hidden treasures
Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
When we're miles apart

And don't we all love these guilty pleasures
These uncovered hidden treasures




Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
When we're miles apart

Line by Line Meaning

Miles apart, we were sitting in the dark
Although physically distant, we were together in the same emotional state


I was wondering if I'm in your head
I questioned if I occupied your thoughts


Well I know what's in mine, I've been thinking it for time
I am aware of my own thoughts, I've been contemplating them for a while


I've been thinking about someone else instead
Instead of focusing on you, my thoughts have been consumed by someone else


There's someone next to me, maybe someone that I'd like to keep
Another person is beside me, someone I may want to hold onto


Collapsed relationships, they engulf me
Failed relationships surround and overwhelm me


And now our hands are intertwined, you're really in my mind
Now our connection is stronger, you are truly occupying my thoughts


And I'm feeling really guilty, you see
I am overwhelmed with guilt, and you can see it


Don't we all love these guilty pleasures
Isn't it common for us to enjoy these indulgent activities that bring guilt?


These uncovered hidden treasures
They are like valuable treasures that have been discovered and revealed


And now we're back home, we're not speaking on the telephone
Now that we are physically together, we are not communicating through phone calls


And everything is slowly starting to decay
Our relationship is gradually deteriorating


But you are not aware, you still seem to care
You are oblivious, yet you still display care and concern


And I really don't understand why you want to stay
I genuinely do not comprehend why you choose to remain in this situation


When we're miles apart
This is especially true when we are physically distant
