Singalong! A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton

Even though this song came out when I was in grade ten, I associate it with university. It was the ringtone for one of my university besties' cell phone (this, by the way, was before everyone even had cell phones). Her phone had some fancy case that would light up in time with the ringtone and it was the coolest thing ever. We would listen to this song so hard. I would mostly imagine what it would be like to have someone who I loved enough to walk a thousand miles for.

A THOUSAND MILES

by Vanessa Carlton

Making my way down town

Walking fast

Faces pass

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 memory

'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, oh

'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 down town walking fast

Faces pass

And I'm home bound

Staring blankly ahead

Making my way

Making a way

Through the crowd

And I still need you

And 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, now

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.
