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
'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
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.
Line by Line Meaning
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
Staring blankly ahead just making my way
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
I feel a deep sadness from being separated from you
And now I wonder
I'm questioning something that I'm curious about
If I could fall into the sky
I'm imagining a surreal scenario where I could float in the air
Do you think time would pass me by?
I'm wondering if I would still experience time passing in this unlikely situation
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
I would go great lengths to be able to see you
If I could just see you tonight
I want to be with you as soon as possible and cannot wait any longer
It's always times like these when I think of you
In moments of distress like this, I think of you often
And I wonder if you ever think of me
I question if you have me in your thoughts like I do for you
'Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
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
'Cause I'll need you
I will continue to require your presence
And I'll miss you
I will continue to feel sorrowful because you are not with me
And now I wonder
I question something that I am curious about
If I could fall into the sky
I am imagining the surreal scenario again
Do you think time would pass me by?
I repeat the same question that I previously asked
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
I would go to great lengths to be able to see you
If I could just see you tonight
I cannot wait any longer to be with you
And I, I don't want to let you know
I am not ready to express my feelings openly to you
I, I drown in your memory
I become lost in the memories that involve you
I, I don't want to let this go
I don't want to forget about you and what we had
I, I don't
I am uncertain about how to move on without you
And I still need you
I still require your presence in my life
And I still miss you
I still feel the sadness that comes with being separated from you
And now I wonder
I am curious about something again
If I could fall into the sky
I repeat the scenario that I previously imagined
Do you think time would pass us by?
I slightly adjust the question to include the possibility of both of us experiencing this surreal scenario
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
I am willing to do anything to be able to see you again
If I could just see you
I want to have the ability to be able to be with you again
If I could fall into the sky
I repeat the same scenario again
Do you think time would pass me by?
I ask the original question one final time
'Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
I conclude with the same statement as before
If I could just see you, if I could just hold you tonight
I elaborate on my desire to be with you, both seeing and holding you
