A Thousand Miles
Sabrina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my 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 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

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 passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my 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

The song "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton speaks about a woman's love and yearning to be with someone who is far away. The lyrics convey the feeling of longing, separation, and a desire to be reunited with someone beloved. The opening lines suggest that the singer is rushing through a crowd in a city, and she is on her way home but seems to be lost in thought. As she continues to walk, she thinks about her love, whom she misses dearly, and wonders how fast time would pass if she were to fall into the sky.


The chorus of the song - "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" - emphasizes the depth of her feelings and her willingness to go to extreme lengths to see her loved one again. The second verse suggests that the singer is caught in the past, and her beloved is a part of her memories that she cannot let go of. She feels out of place in the present, as if she is still living in a world where the two of them were together.


Overall, the song is a poignant statement of a woman's love and devotion to someone who is far away. It conveys the intense emotions of separation, longing, and a desperate desire to be reunited once again, and this is what makes the song so relatable and timeless.
