Another Mile
Miles of Love: Jon Troast's Journey of Yearning and Joy
Lyrics
Driving
Expressing the action of driving.
My head out the window
Visualizing the experience of driving with the head out of the window.
Use my face to find out how fast the wind blows
Using the face to feel the speed of the wind.
Could it be any better
Reflecting on the positive aspects of the current situation.
It's almost like I paid someone for the weather
Feeling fortunate about the weather, as if it was paid for.
I'd like to take a kodak and capture this display
Expressing a desire to capture the moment with a Kodak camera.
But none of it would fit inside a frame
Recognizing the limitation of capturing the experience in a frame.
Well, it almost takes my breath away
Feeling deeply moved or impressed by the scenery.
And it almost makes me smile
Finding joy in the experience, although not fully content.
But I keep going, I have to drive another mile
Continuing the journey, compelled to drive further.
'Cause the only thing that's missing now
Identifying the absence of someone special.
The only thing I need
Declaring that the only essential thing is the presence of a loved one.
Is you sitting right here next to me
Expressing a desire for the person to be physically present.
So I'm driving
Continuing the drive toward the destination.
Over to your place
Heading to the other person's location.
Grab your coat, a toothbrush, and a suitcase
Gathering belongings, suggesting a potential stay.
Yeah, there's so much I want to show you
Expressing a desire to share experiences and places with the person.
On these roads and all the places they go through
Highlighting the significance of the journey and its destinations.
Well, it almost takes my breath away
Reiterating the overwhelming and breathtaking nature of the experience.
And it almost makes me smile
Feeling happiness despite the absence of completeness.
But I keep going, I have to drive another mile
Committing to continue the journey, emphasizing the necessity to go further.
'Cause the only thing that's missing now
Reiterating the absence of a significant person.
The only thing I need
Emphasizing the essential nature of the person's presence.
Is you sitting right here next to me
Expressing the desire for the person to be beside them.
Well the loneliest road
Reflecting on the emotional challenges of the journey.
Is the one that leads to you
Highlighting the difficulty of a road leading to the person.
But the one I love most
Expressing a preference for any road that accommodates both individuals.
Is any road big enough for just us two
No specific meaning provided in this line.
Well, it almost takes my breath away
Reiterating the overwhelming and breathtaking nature of the experience.
And it almost makes me smile
Feeling happiness despite the absence of completeness.
But I keep going, I have to drive another mile
Committing to continue the journey, emphasizing the necessity to go further.
'Cause the only thing that's missing now
Reiterating the absence of a significant person.
The only thing I need
Emphasizing the essential nature of the person's presence.
Is you sitting right here next to me
Expressing the desire for the person to be beside them.
