Miles Apart
Sonic Syndicate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

An honest crescendo of fireworks filled your eyes like stars
That moment, I knew that I would bind myself to you
The fallen, the demons, they can't wait to deny the truth
But they'll have to wait; have patience
'Cause right now, I am loving you

THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO
TO STOP ME NEEDING AND YEARNING YOU
EVEN IF WE'RE A MILLION MILES APART
WE'RE STILL JOINED RIGHT AT THE HEART

Heart

Your memory, it warms my soul
So when I die, I won't be cold
But here on Earth, I got something to prove
And while I'm alive, I got nothing to lose

So I take my chance and I make my move
I fought my evils; scaled the wall
And backed the right horse; broke the rules
I'm risking everything I've got just to get a shot with you

I died inside when you were taken and then I died some more
The daylight hurts my eyes, 'cause I'm a stranger to the sun
Some parts of me are gone forever
But the rest of me limps on





Heart, heart, heart, heart
