Miles Lyrics

I’m scared today
More than I told you I was yesterday
Give me a moment to catch my breath
And hold me every second left
Proud of me
That’s the only way I want you to be
Look at me
And love what you see

I won’t make it alone
I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder
And tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older
To be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Don’t count the miles
Count the I love you’s

We made it out
And all the other people are asking how
This doesn’t even sound like truth
To grow from a booth
But one day we will realize
How hard it was
How hard we tried
And how our hearts made it out alive

Kiss me on my shoulder
And tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older
To be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Don’t count the miles
Count the” I love you’s”

And these are words I wish you said
But that’s not how it went
Cause you gave up on us in the end

And I won’t make it alone
I need something to hold

Kiss me on my shoulder
And tell me it’s not over
I promise to always come home to you
Remind me that I’m older
To be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do

Kiss me on my shoulder
And tell me it’s not over
I promise to come home to you
Remind me that I’m older
To be brave, smart, sweet, and bolder
And don’t give up on what we’re trying to do
Don’t count the miles
Count the I love you’s

To me in my opinion i think of this song of two people in a long distance relationship who tried so hard to see each other.

I'm in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend, i met him on a art website called DeviantART and I'm trying so hard to see him but my mom just won't let me because she doesn't know him, he lives in Alabama and I'm in Florida the reason why I have to go see him is because is parents won't let him online date because they want him to be real!! just because that person is else wheres and your somewhere else doesn't mean the relationship isn't real! it is real! he's 15 and I'm 17 I'm about to be 18 in May. me and him want to be together I'm trying as hard as i can to see him, we've been together since September 16th. I would never give up on him!! but yeah that's just my opinion on the song and that's how i see it. (:

My Opinion

In my own interpretation,I think they are couples who swear even in the hardest times not to give up on fighting for what they feel even the people around them seems to see them not perfect for each other.Until the day come that one of them gave up on the battle yet the other still struggles to fight for what is left,for what could be saved.

My Interpretation

I think this song is about an ex-boyfriend who she still loves. It was a long distance relationship that ended because the boy "gave up on them in the end" (because of the distance). The whole chorus are the "words I (she) wished you (he) said".
