Miles Away

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Flipping through the page trying to move on
I try anyway
Painting this picture I've tried to draw
Listen I'm not the same as I was
I've been up and away
Don't want to put it on pause
Hear me out, oh
Hear me out
So full of it from everything you've said to me
I know you want attention honestly
Don't know where it starts and where it ends
Doesn't matter 'cause I'll be miles away from here again
'Cause I'll be miles away from here again
'Cause I'll be miles away from here again
'Cause I'll be miles away from here again
Again
You had to make it super complicated
For all the shit you said and illustrated
Been out here falling down on life
Just another thing you want to try
So fucking cold
Just unfold what you brought up before
I don't even know what your focus is anymore, yeah
Anymore
So full of it from everything you've said to me
I know you want attention honestly
Don't know where it starts and where it ends
Doesn't matter 'cause I'll be miles away from here again
'Cause I'll be miles away from here again
'Cause I'll be miles away from here again
'Cause I'll be miles away from here again
Again
No direction
Out of your sight, yeah
No reflection
Acting uptight, yeah
No direction
No direction
So full of it from everything you've said to me
I know you want attention honestly
Don't know where it starts and where it ends
Doesn't matter 'cause I'll be miles away from here again
'Cause I'll be miles away from here again
'Cause I'll be miles away from here again
'Cause I'll be miles away from here again
Again
