A Thousand Miles
Victoria Justice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Victoria Justice's "A Thousand Miles" is a song about missing someone deeply and wanting to be reunited with them. The opening lines describe a person who is walking fast, making their way through the crowd and staring blankly ahead, lost in their thoughts. They are reminiscing about a person they miss dearly and wonder if that person ever thinks of them too.
The chorus of the song expresses the longing and desperation of the singer's desire to be with this person. The singer wonders if they could fall into the sky, would time pass them by? They then declare that they would walk a thousand miles just to see the person one more time.
The bridge of the song is particularly emotive, with the singer stating that they don't want to let go of the person they miss so badly. They are still in love and still need and miss the person, but they are afraid to express these feelings.
Overall, "A Thousand Miles" is a poignant song that expresses the depth of human emotions that come with loving and missing someone deeply.
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
