Miles Away
Shiloh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're thousand miles away.
There's something wrong with me. I guess.
See, it hits me when I see your face
But I digress...
I wish you felt the same about me,
Well, I'm a ruin when you're around me.
I'm not happy unless you're far far away.
When I'm crying, please don't hold me.
I'm not happy unless you're far far away.
I give a smile when you're thousand miles away.
It's cause I know that you're alright.
It suddenly hit me when I heard you say.
I'm the only girl who makes you cry.
I wish you felt the same about me,
there's something I just have to say.
I'm a ruin when you're around me.
I'm not happy unless you're far far away.
When I'm crying, please don't hold me.
I'm not happy unless you're far far away.
Something hurts my logic sense of might,
It's never easy
When you stop and realize:
Another day that can't be changed in time,
If love's so fancy then tell me why...
I'm a ruin when you're around me.
I'm not happy unless...
I'm a ruin when you're around me.
I'm not happy unless you're far far away.
When I'm crying, please don't hold me.
I'm not happy unless you're far far away.
You're far away, too far away.
No, no, you're too far!
You're too far away
You're tar far away.
The song "Miles Away" by Shiloh is a melancholic tune that describes the turmoil of the singer's emotions when they are around the person they love. The lyrics suggest that the singer is only happy when the person they love is far away. This desire for distance could be because their presence causes intense feelings in the singer, which they cannot handle. The song implies that the singer has unrequited love for this person, which adds to their emotional pain.
Throughout the song, the singer makes it clear that they are a "ruin" when the person they love is around, and they are not happy unless they are far away. They even go as far as asking the person they love to not hold them when they cry. These lines suggest that the singer feels vulnerable and overwhelmed when in the presence of the person they love. However, there is a hint of hope in the lyrics, as the singer wishes that the person they love felt the same way about them.
Furthermore, as the song draws to a close, the lyrics become more ambiguous. The line, "Something hurts my logic sense of might," suggests that the singer is beginning to question the reasons behind their feelings. They wonder why love has to be so complicated and mysterious. The singer also pleads with the person they love to stay far away, suggesting that their feelings for them may never be resolved.

Something hurts my logic sense of might,
It's never easy
When you stop and realize:
Another day that can't be changed in time,
If love's so fancy then tell me why...
Something about this situation does not make rational sense to me, and coming to terms with this reality is difficult. Every day that passes reinforces the fact that we cannot change the past. If love is supposed to be pleasurable, why is it causing us so much pain?
No, no, you're too far!
You're too far away
You're tar far away.
I am distressed that you are so distant from me, and I wish it were not the case.
