Lyrics

My friends will ask me how I'm doin'

My friends inquire about my well-being

But I just can't lie to 'em

However, I cannot deceive them

Not feeling fine today

I'm not feeling good today

I saw my dreams they were a

I observed my aspirations, likened them to a ship on the ocean

Ship on the ocean now it

Now it seems they're very far away

Looks like they're miles away

The dreams appear distant


Miles away

They're extremely far away

Hey, hey, they're miles away

Expressing the significant distance


I know there's always something

Understanding that challenges are inevitable

We have to go through

We encounter experiences that hold deeper meanings

That has some deeper meaning but

Currently, I can't articulate their significance

Right now I just can't say

At present, I'm unable to explain

I know there's gonna be a lesson somewhere

Awareness of a potential lesson to be learned

I'm gonna think a lot about it later

I'll reflect extensively on it later

But right now I'm miles away

But presently, I'm emotionally distant

Miles away

I'm considerably far away

Hey hey I'm miles away

Signifying a significant distance

Hey hey hey I'm miles away

Emphasizing the extensive emotional gap


I'm a million miles away

I feel immensely distant

Where I don't have to think at all

A place far removed where I can avoid thoughts entirely

Don't have to listen to you whisper

I'm free from hearing your whispered secrets in the hallway

Your little secrets in the hall

Avoiding involvement in your confidential conversations

Yeah I'd really love to talk about it

Desire to discuss, but interrupted by a perceived call

But I think I hear my mama calling me

Feeling pulled away from the conversation

Miles away

Indicating a substantial emotional distance
