A Thousand Miles Lyrics

[Vanessa Carlton cover]

[Verse 1]
Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast, faces pass
And I'm home-bound
Starin' blankly ahead
Just makin' my way
Makin' a way through the crowd

[Pre-Hook 1]
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder

[Hook]
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

[Verse 2]
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, livin' in your precious memory
[Pre Hook 2]
Cause I'll need you
And I'll miss you
And now I wonder

[Hook]
If I could fall into the sky
Do you think time would pass me by?
Oh, cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you, tonight

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 1 (reprise)]
Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast, faces pass
And I'm home-bound
Starin' blankly ahead
Just makin' my way
Makin' a way through the crowd

[Pre-Hook 3]
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder
[Hook]
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

[Hook]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

Icarus The Owl shared with Alternative Press:

This song is timeless to us and we’ve always jokingly played the main riff while sound checking on stage. We decided it was time to do a proper cover. Also, the scene in White Chicks.
