A Thousand Miles
Victoria Justice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Making my way downtown
Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
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 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 homebound
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, oh, oh

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

Line by Line Meaning

Making my way downtown
I'm walking towards a destination in the center of the city


Walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
I'm walking quickly, passing by people on my way home


Staring blankly ahead
I'm not paying attention to my surroundings


Just making my way
I'm slowly but surely making progress towards my destination


Making a way through the crowd
I'm maneuvering through the people around me


And I need you
I am feeling a strong desire for your presence


And I miss you
I feel a sense of loss and longing for you


And now I wonder
I'm curious and questioning


If I could fall
If I could travel in a different way


Into the sky
Going upwards into the sky


Do you think time
Would time


Would pass me by?
Continue moving or progressing without me?


Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
I would go to great lengths to see you


If I could just see you
If I could have the opportunity to be in your presence


Tonight
On this particular evening


It's always times like these
Moments where I'm alone with my thoughts


When I think of you
You occupy my mind during these moments


And wonder if you ever think of me
I contemplate whether or not you think about me in the same way I think about you


Cause everything's so wrong and I don't belong
I feel out of place and uncomfortable in my current situation


Living in your precious memory
I'm holding onto the memory of you because it's valuable and important to me


And I still need you
My need for you has not diminished


And I still miss you
I continue to feel a sense of loss and longing for you


If I could just see you, oh, oh
If I could have the opportunity to be in your presence


If I could just hold you tonight
If I could physically embrace you on this particular evening
