Miles N' Miles
Stephen Jerzak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Summer, summer
Summer in the sky
Summer in the sky
And I'll never find it without you

Summer in the sky
I know the sun is hard to get
I'll never find it without you

Hey, hey sunshine, you're so bold and let me feel you
It's worth it to wait a while so I can look at your smile
Because it shines for miles and miles

I fell asleep but I didn't dream
I thought the day would come sooner than later
But I'm still here in the same old place

There's a West Coast beach scene in my head
And I wanna fly away from this Midwestern state
And be there instead

Summer in the sky
I know the sun is hard to get
I'll never find it without you

Hey, hey sunshine, you're so bold and let me feel you
It's worth it to wait a while so I can look at your smile
Because it shines for miles and miles

Miles and miles

I stayed awake to find my place
I dreamed the day would come sooner than later
Where you and I will be face to face

There's a West Coast beach scene in my head
And I wanna fly away from this Midwestern state
And be there instead

Summer in the sky
I know the sun is hard to get
I'll never find it without you
(You)

Hey, hey sunshine, you're so bold and let me feel you
It's worth it to wait a while so I can look at your smile
Because it shines for miles and miles

Summer in the sky
I know the sun is hard to get
I'll never find it without you
(You)

Hey, hey sunshine, you're so bold and let me feel you
It's worth it to wait a while so I can look at your smile
Because it shines for miles and miles

Summer in the sky
I know the sun is hard to get
I'll never find it without you
(You)

Hey, hey sunshine, you're so bold and let me feel you
(Let me feel you)
It's worth it to wait a while so I can look at your smile
Your smile
(Your smile, your smile)





Shines for miles and miles

Overall Meaning

"Miles N' Miles" by Stephen Jerzak is a song about the longing of the singer to be with someone he cares about. The title seems to suggest both a physical and metaphorical distance, as if the singer is miles away from the happiness he seeks, but the shining sun that he mentions throughout the song serves as a symbol of hope and perseverance. The opening lines, "Summer, summer, summer in the sky" create a feeling of warmth and positivity, but the following lines, "And I'll never find it without you" suggest that the singer's happiness depends entirely on the person he addresses throughout the song. This is a beautiful expression of devotion, but it also hints that the singer may be too dependent on the presence of another person for his own well-being.


The refrain, "Hey, hey sunshine, you're so bold and let me feel you / It's worth it to wait a while so I can look at your smile / Because it shines for miles and miles," emphasizes the central metaphor of the sun as a symbol of hope and happiness. The singer desperately wants to be close to the person he loves, to feel their warmth and to admire the light in their eyes. However, there is a sense throughout the song that this happiness is elusive, that it is difficult to attain and maintain. The lines "I fell asleep but I didn't dream / I thought the day would come sooner than later / But I'm still here in the same old place" suggest a kind of disillusionment, a sense that the singer's dreams have not yet been realized.


Overall, "Miles N' Miles" is a beautiful and heartfelt song about the power of love and the hope for a brighter future. It is a testament to the human spirit's ability to persevere in the face of difficulty and to the beauty of the natural world as a source of strength and comfort.
