1000 Miles

I'm still a sucker for anything that's rocked out on a piano. It's easily the greatest of all instruments, well, at least I think so.

"1,000 Miles" by Vanessa Carlton has to be one of those that really sticks with you for a while. Just how far would you go to find someone that's been lost?

How far would I be willing to go? Well, every journey starts with a single step, after that who's really counting. As long as you eventually get there. I'm still not so sure that time heals, but perhaps it is each step of those thousand miles that really does the job.

Alternatively you can always try the Vanilla Sky cover of this song. As an Italian band their pronunciation is terrible, but you still get the song.

Making my way downtown
I'm walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

And I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

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

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
Living in your
Precious memories

'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder....

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

And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't....

Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making a way
Through the crowd

I still need you
I still miss you
And now I wonder....

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...

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
Toniiiiiight!!

Do memories fade as time passes by? Do we at times forget to take the next step in fear of getting further from our starting point?
