Thousand Miles Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Too far away to feel you
But I can't forget your skin
Wonder what you're up to
What state of mind you're in
Are you thinking 'bout the last time?
Your lips all over me
'Cause I play it and I rewind
Where you are, I wanna be

[Verse 2]
Wanna fly to you like birds do
Straight across the world
My body, your hands, ooh
And I'm missing every word
You are mine, yeah, you say so
When you call me late nights
But I wonder how should I know
You're in love enough to fight?

[Pre-Chorus]
Fadin' away when you're drunk and alone?
Can't see my face in your heart anymore?
Tellin' yourself you don't feel like before?

[Chorus]
And that's when I run (Run)
All of these thousand miles
That's when I run (Run)
All of these thousand miles to get you back
Comin' for you, babe, I'm comin' now
That's when I run (Run)
All of these thousand miles to get you back

[Verse 3]
Wrapped around your fingers
Let you dive into my love
You remember all my triggers
The physical and stuff
Back and forth forever
Is it how it's gonna be?
Even when we're not together
Will you stay with me?

[Pre-Chorus]
Fadin' away when you're drunk and alone?
Can't see my face in your heart anymore?
Tellin' yourself you don't feel like before?

[Chorus]
And that's when I run (Run)
All of these thousand miles
That's when I run (Run)
All of these thousand miles to get you back
Comin' for you, babe, I'm comin' now
That's when I run (Run)
All of these thousand miles to get you back

[Post-Chorus]
All of these, all of these thousand miles
To get you back
All of these, all of these thousand miles
Ooh
All of these, all of these thousand miles
To get you back
All of these, all of these thousand miles

[Chorus]
And that's when I run (Run)
All of these thousand miles (All of these thousand miles)
That's when I run (Run)
All of these thousand miles to get you back
Comin' for you, babe, I'm comin' now
That's when I run (Run)
All of these thousand miles to get you back

[Post-Chorus]
All of these, all of these thousand miles
To get you back
All of these, all of these thousand miles
All of these thousand miles
All of these, all of these thousand miles (Back for you)
To get you back
All of these, all of these thousand miles

About

“Thousand Miles” perfectly kicks off the third chapter of Queen of the Clouds—The Pain. The song explains the longing that Tove Lo feels in going great lengths to save a fading relationship. She has said that this song brings her to tears, and “Passion comes with pain. [It] lights that string of hope that ‘maybe we’ll make it.’” It was a promotional single for the album.

During a VEVO Live performance, she said:

The downside with this life is that you’re apart from the people that you love, and love being the way that love is—strong, is that you’re really affected by the person that you love. The person I love is going through something really hard, and so am I, but we can’t really be there for each other. I guess we’re both the reason for why the other person is going through this… and it’s crazy how much this person affects me, ‘cause I didn’t think I could feel this way. It’s just pain from head to toe, and all through my body… and I can’t think of anything else.
