Miles To Go
Rose Cousins Lyrics

We've been driving this main state
We've been on this journey through life for a while now.

For what seems like hours
It's been a long time, though not necessarily measured in hours.

The cars and our blood thick and slow
We're bogged down, weighed down by the complications of life.

Trading miles for inches and we've got miles to go
We're making progress, but there's still a long way to go.

And heavy loads
The weight on our shoulders is substantial.

And I can see the clouds changing in the mirror behind
I'm aware of the world changing around me.

And my moods are the weather they change with the sky
My emotional state is constantly adapting, prone to change.

But god how it feels to get up and fly
It feels good to break free and propel forward.

It's been coming for all this year
The desire for freedom and change has been building for a while.

Then it's the film screen
Life sometimes feels like a movie reel, playing before our eyes.

Blue greens
The colors of the world change and evolve.

Thunder and lightning movie scene
Sometimes things get intense and dramatic like in a movie scene.

What amazes me the most
Surprises and shocks me the most.

Is that we've come so close
Despite the challenges and obstacles, we've come near to our goal.

And then it all comes undone
Suddenly, everything falls apart.

And I'm making things harder in my usual way
I have a tendency to complicate things for myself and others.

And I'm growing through stages and mistakes I've made
I'm learning and developing, even if it means making mistakes along the way.

But there's pages and pages of things I can't seem to say
There are so many thoughts and feelings that I struggle to express.

And I know that I should come clean
I realize that I need to be honest and upfront about my emotions and intentions.

Somewhere in between
It's not always clear where to draw the line or find balance.

The thunder and lightning
The intense and overwhelming emotions and situations.

What amazes me the most
Continues to surprise me, despite having experienced it before.

Is my fear of the ghosts
The things from the past continue to haunt me and hold me back.

And then it all comes undone
Everything falls apart suddenly and unexpectedly, once again.

I don't know exactly what it's about
I'm uncertain about the specifics, but I know there's something happening.

But I know it's been at least three times now
This situation has repeated itself a few times already.

All the shit I put you through
I realize that I've caused you a lot of pain and difficulty.

Was relentless and useless
My actions were never-ending and ultimately futile.

And my solution is I'm no good for you
The best course of action is to step back and let you go.

And we're still driving this main state
We're still trudging through this journey.

And our state of driving
Our current situation and the way we're moving forward.

Trading smiles and pinches and we've got miles to go
We're exchanging moments of joy and pain, and there's still a long way to go.

Miles to go
There's still a lot of work to be done and a long way left to travel.

And miles to go
Reiterating the fact that there's still a long journey ahead.

Miles to go
Reiterating the fact that there's still a long journey ahead.

Miles to go
Reiterating the fact that there's still a long journey ahead.
