Pictures From The Road
Longing Across Distances
Lyrics
I don't take too many pictures nowadays
The singer expresses a reduction in taking photos recently.
Cause I lost the need to prove my life
Feeling no need to prove the interestingness of their life through pictures.
Is still interesting
Asserting that life is still interesting despite not capturing it through photos.
Sometimes it's worth keeping a secret
Recognizing the value of keeping certain experiences or moments a secret.
Like, I just saw this, and no one else
Describing a unique experience that only the singer witnessed.
Can see it like I did
Highlighting the personal nature of some moments that can't be fully shared.
But most days I wish I could share with you
Expressing a desire to share most days with someone.
I wish could see things
Expressing a wish for someone to see things along with the singer.
Here with me too
Expressing a desire for shared experiences.
I hope the scenery in London is as good as they say
Expressing hope about the scenery in London.
I'd rather you find yourself in the states
Preferring someone's presence in the states rather than London.
I'd swim the ocean and back
Expressing a willingness to go to great lengths to see someone.
If it meant I could see you
Highlighting the strong desire to see the person by expressing a willingness to cross the ocean.
A world apart
Describing a significant physical distance between the singer and the person.
So I just wrote you to say
Announcing the intention to communicate feelings through writing.
That I miss you and I hope
Expressing feelings of missing the person.
That you're thinking of me
Expressing hope that the person is thinking about the singer.
And I miss you and I hope that you're thinking of me
Reiterating the sentiments of missing the person and hoping for reciprocated thoughts.
I don't see too many people nowadays
Noticing a decrease in interactions with people lately.
My world slowed down
Stating a slowdown in the singer's world compared to others.
Theirs sped up quite considerably
Observing an increase in the pace of others' lives.
Maybe I should just go offline
Contemplating the idea of disconnecting from online interactions.
Stop spending all my time
Considering the potential benefits of spending less time online.
Maybe then I'd get to catch up on life
Speculating on catching up with life by going offline.
But most days I wish I could share with you
Expressing a wish to share most days with someone (repeated from line 7).
I wish could see things
Expressing a desire for shared experiences (repeated from line 8).
Here with me too
Expressing a desire for shared experiences (repeated from line 9).
I hope the scenery in London is as good as they say
Expressing hope about the scenery in London (repeated from line 10).
I'd rather you find yourself in the states
Preferring someone's presence in the states rather than London (repeated from line 11).
I'd swim the ocean and back
Expressing a willingness to go to great lengths to see someone (repeated from line 12).
If it meant I could see you
Highlighting the strong desire to see the person by expressing a willingness to cross the ocean (repeated from line 13).
A world apart

And I miss you and I hope

That you're thinking of me

-That you're thinking of me
-And I miss you and I hope
-That you're thinking of me
