Miles Away
Priscilla Mariano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just woke up from a fuzzy dream
You never would believe those things that I have seen
I looked in the mirror and I saw your face
You looked right through me, you were miles away
All my dreams they fade away
I'll never be the same
If you could see me the way you see yourself
I can't pretend to be someone else
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
When no one's around then I have you here
I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear
You always have the biggest heart,
When we're six thousand miles apart
Too much of no sound
Uncomfortable silence can be so loud
Those three words are never enough
When it's long distance love
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
I'm alright, don't be sorry, but it's true
When I'm gone you realize
That I'm the best thing that happened to you
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles a-a-away
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away




So far away
So far away

Overall Meaning

In the opening lines of Priscilla Mariano's song "Miles Away," the singer describes a hazy, dreamlike state in which they see things they cannot believe. Looking at themselves in the mirror, they find that they see the face of someone who is distant, someone who is miles away. This distance is repeated throughout the song, both implicitly and explicitly, becoming a central symbol of the distance between two people in a long-distance relationship.


The song goes on to describe the way that distance affects the singer’s relationship, including the way that their dreams "fade away" and they begin to feel like they can never be the same. Despite this, however, the singer seems to find comfort in the connection they share with their loved one, even when they are miles away. In some ways, it is only when they are apart that their love is truly able to shine through, as they become “at their best” when they are separated.


In the end, the song seems to suggest that it is only through distance that the singer is able to truly appreciate the love they share with their partner. The final lines suggest that, though the two may be far apart, they will always love each other more, even when they are miles away.


Overall, the song explores the idea of the difficulties and rewards of long-distance relationships, and how distance can both test and strengthen the love between two people.
