A Thousand Miles
Vanilla Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
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
Oh 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
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
Oh you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
Na na na na
Don't want to let you know
Na na na na
Drown in your memory
Na na na na
Don't want to let this go
Na na na na
No I don't
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Into 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
The lyrics of the song “A Thousand Miles” by Vanilla Sky portray a person who is walking down the street, making their way through the crowd, staring blankly ahead. Even though they are surrounded by people, they feel homesick and long for someone they miss. The singer wonders if they could disappear into the sky, if time would pass them by, speaking to the idea of being lost in thought and the inability to be present in the moment due to missing someone. In the second verse, the singer reveals that they think of this person when everything is going wrong, when their thoughts are scattered and they feel like they don’t belong.
The chorus then repeats lyrics from the beginning of the song, emphasizing the sentiment of longing and homesickness. The bridge, however, shifts from missing the person to not wanting them to know, as well as the idea of not wanting to let go of the memory of them. The song ends on a hopeful note, as the singer still needs and misses the person, and needs to see and hold them once again.
Line by Line Meaning
Making my way downtown
Traveling through the city streets
Walking fast
Moving quickly on foot
Faces pass
Encountering various people along the way
And I'm home bound
On the way back to a familiar place
Staring blankly ahead
Not paying attention to surroundings
Just making my way
Progressing forward
Making my way
Advancing
Into the crowd
Entering a congested area
And I need you
Longing for someone special
And I miss you
Yearning for the presence of someone special
And now I wonder
Thinking about a hypothetical scenario
If I could fall
If I could descend rapidly
Into the sky
Upward into the heavens
Do you think time
Would time progress normally?
Would pass me by
Or would it seem to halt?
Oh you know I'd walk
You are aware that I would travel
A thousand miles
Across a great distance
If I could
Given the opportunity
Just see you
To be in your presence
Tonight
This very evening
It's always times like these
During certain moments
When I think of you
When you cross my mind
And I wonder
And I question
If you ever
Whether or not you
Think of me
Reflect on our relationship
'cause everything's so wrong
Every circumstance is unfavorable
And I don't belong
I do not fit in
Living in your
Existing within your
Precious memories
Cherished recollections
Na na na na
Repetitive syllables
Don't want to let you know
Not wanting to reveal the truth
Drown in your memory
Overwhelmed by thoughts of the past
Don't want to let this go
Reluctant to move forward
No I don't
I refuse to
And I still need you
Continuing to long for someone special
And I still miss you
Continuing to yearn for the presence of someone special
And now I wonder
And now I ponder
If I could fall
If I could rapidly descend
Do you think time
Would time progress normally?
Would pass us by
Or would it appear to halt?
'cause you know I'd walk
Because you are aware that I would journey
Just see you
To simply be in your presence
If I could hold you
If I could physically embrace you
Tonight
This very evening

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home-bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a 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 memory
'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 wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces pass
And I'm home-bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a 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
