Ten Thousand Miles Away
Peyman Salimi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think of you everyday
Ten thousand miles away
The rain or shine got no meaning here
My skies are grey

I don't have much to say
In this cold cold winter day
Alone and forsaken in this frozen town
Where nobody prays

Ten thousand miles away
Oh dear
Don't let me fade away

I'd do my best to know my way around
And get it over with
Once in a blue moon my mind goes blank
But now I'm used to it

I'm an outsider here
But everything seems okay
Although these faces don't mean a word to me
They ain't cruel anyway

My simple chords sway
And I walk it down anyway
The roads that leads me to the bay
Then I'll feel great

Ten thousand miles away
Oh dear
You won't let me fade away

I'd do my best to know my way around
And get it over with
Once in a blue moon my mind goes blank
But now I'm used to it
