Heart Miles
Jai Waetford Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My system's failing
My heart's encoding
Your name's on my screen
But it's not responding
I'm trying to reach you
But these keys can fail you
What are you to me?
Real lies, false truth

I'm loving on the thought that
You might be the one who
Gives me all the things
That no one else would have a thought to
But if we're being real now
Should I really trust you?
What is there to lose?

What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more

You are drifting away
You're too far
Maybe one day our two hearts
Won't be miles away, away

My system's failing
My heart's encoding
The message that you bring
Has got me overloading
You're so far but so close
I see your face in my windows
This is the life I lead
I guess only God knows

I'm loving on the thought that
You might be the one who
Gives me all the things
That no one else would have a thought to
But if we're being real now
Should I really trust you?
What is there to lose?

What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more
What is love?
Baby, don't hurt me
Baby, don't hurt me
No more

You are drifting away
You're too far




Maybe one day our two hearts
Won't be miles away, away

Overall Meaning

The song "Heart Miles" by Jai Waetford talks about a system failure that's metaphorical to the emotions of the singer towards someone. The first verse denotes a sense of disappointment and longing to communicate with the person with whom the singer is having a relationship. The singer is trying to reach the person, but their keyboard is letting them down. They ask themselves what the other person is to them, real lies or false truth, leading to a sense of distrust towards them, even though the singer loves the thought of them being "the one" who gives them things nobody else could. The chorus has a famous song reference to "What Is Love" signifying the confusion and conflict that the singer faces with the concept of love.


The lyrical phrases, "you are drifting away," "you're too far," remain consistent throughout the song, portraying the struggle of a long-distance relationship, with the hope that someday the distance wouldn't be miles away. The second verse implies that the message from the person the singer is trying to reach has left them overwhelmed and puzzled. They see the person's face on their windows, a metaphor for either a phone or computer screen. The singer loves the thought that the person may be the one for them, but they have a sense of questioning whether they can trust them.


Overall, the song talks about the paradox of love, where the singer is simultaneously optimistic and cautious about love and holds a sense of doubt, insecurity, and confusion about the other person's feelings towards them. The song's message is a common struggle that most people have faced in their relationships.

Carinha que Mora Logo Ali

TRADUÇÃO PRA QUEM É BRASILEIRO !!!

falha do meu sistema, a codificação do meu coração
O seu nome está na minha tela, mas ele não está respondendo
Estou tentando falar com você, mas estas chaves pode falhar
O que é você para mim? mentiras reais, falsa verdade

Estou amando sobre o pensamento de que você pode ser o único
Quem me dá todas as coisas que ninguém mais teria um pensamento para
Mas se estamos sendo real, agora, eu deveria realmente confiar em você?
O que há para perder?

O que é o amor? Bebê, não me machuque
Bebê, não me machuque, não mais
O que é o amor? Bebê, não me machuque
Bebê, não me machuque, não mais
Você está se afastando
Você está muito longe
Talvez um dia os nossos dois corações
não será milhas de distância, distância

falha do meu sistema, a codificação do meu coração
A mensagem que você traga tem me sobrecarregar
Você está tão longe, mas tão perto, eu vejo seu rosto em minhas janelas
Esta é a vida que eu levo, eu acho que só Deus sabe

Estou amando sobre o pensamento de que você pode ser o único
Quem me dá todas as coisas que ninguém mais teria um pensamento para
Mas se estamos sendo real, agora, eu deveria realmente confiar em você?
O que há para perder?

O que é o amor? Bebê, não me machuque
Bebê, não me machuque, não mais
O que é o amor? Bebê, não me machuque
Bebê, não me machuque, não mais
Você está se afastando
Você está muito longe
Talvez um dia os nossos dois corações
não será milhas de distância, distância

He has such a beautiful voice. Why are people like him not as famous as Jacob sartorius?

pringle dingle

You can be the most talented person in the entire universe, but you loose recognition, people grow up, time moves on. He was famous. Time is always ticking you can’t stay famous.

“Why is he not famous” why are you not famous?
