A Thousand Miles
Lua Blanco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Making my way downtown walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
It's always times like these when I think of you
And I wonder if you ever think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
Living in your precious memories
'Cause I'll need you
And I'll miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight
And I, I don't want to let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't want to let this go
I, I don't
Making my way downtown walking fast
Faces pass and I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead just making my way
Making a way through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass us by?
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?




'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, if I could just hold you tonight

Overall Meaning

Lua Blanco's song "A Thousand Miles" is an emotional ballad about missing someone so much that the singer would "walk a thousand miles" just to see them again. The song begins with the singer making her way through a bustling crowd, completely lost in her thoughts of the person she longs to see. She misses them deeply and wonders if time would stop if she could somehow fall into the sky and be with them again. The pain of separation is palpable, as the singer feels isolated and out of place, unable to shake the memories of the past.


The chorus repeats the same longing sentiment that sets the emotional tone for the entire song. The singer needs and misses the person, and she will do anything to be near them again. The bridge expands on the theme, with the singer confessing that she can't let go of the thought of this special someone, and she drowns in their memory. The final chorus brings the song to a close with the same longing and desperation for the person she is missing.


Overall, "A Thousand Miles" is a poignant song that beautifully captures the pain of separation and the longing to be with someone special again.

Making my way downtown walking fast
I'm walking quickly through the city streets, fully focusing on where I'm headed


Faces pass and I'm home bound
I pass by different people but feel like I'm just going home

I'm lost in my own thoughts and not paying attention to my surroundings


Making a way through the crowd
I'm pushing through the masses of people on the street


And I need you
I feel a strong desire for your presence


And I miss you

My current situation is unpleasant and I feel out of place


Living in your precious memories
I am only holding onto the memories that involve you
