Miles Away
Geneviève Racette Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me to a place where I can feel the sun and see
Endless yellow flowers dancing in the wind for you and me
Can you hear the birds? They're singing us a song
I don't know the words but I still wanna sing along

Without even leaving this place
We're miles away
I just have to look at your face

You take me miles away
We're miles away

Let's go to the top of the rocky mountains baby
Snowflakes falling down parading in the sky for you and me
Can you hear the wind? It's blowing us a story
I can't feel my skin but I still wanna listen

Without even leaving this place
We're miles away
I just have to look at your face
You take me miles away
We're miles away

Get rid of your passport and throw away your bags
You won't need them
You won't need them
Without even leaving this place

We're miles away
We're miles away
