A Thousand Miles Lyrics by Vanessa Carlton

Be Not Nobody (Japan Edition)

2002

[Piano Intro]
[Verse 1]
Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Starin' blankly ahead just makin' my way
Makin' a way through the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder
[Chorus]
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 I wonder if you ever think of me
'Cause everything's so wrong, and I don't belong
Livin' in your precious memory
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'll need you
And I'll miss you
And now I wonder
[Chorus]
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]
Makin' my way downtown
Walkin' fast, faces pass and I'm homebound
Starin' blankly ahead just makin' my way
Makin' a way through the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
And I still need you
I still miss you
And now I wonder
[Chorus]
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
