Lyrics
Who's in a mile
Reflecting on who or what is within a mile.
Or five million miles
Considering a broader perspective, possibly millions of miles away.
Is there anyone around
Questioning the presence of others in the vicinity.
Not so high up off the ground
Not feeling elevated or distant from the ground.
Once in a while
Occasionally thinking about something or someone.
I think about it every night
Frequently contemplating during the night.
I move about the waste
Moving around a desolate or unused area.
Busy
Engaged in activities, possibly preoccupied or occupied.
Tonight I have a plan
Having a specific plan for the current night.
To rid me of my hollow air
Intending to eliminate a feeling of emptiness or hollowness.
I pull my eyes from this place
Redirecting attention away from the current place.
And find my own way home
Finding one's own path back home.
Is it water of the mind
Contemplating if thoughts are fluid like water or overwhelming.
Or am I drowning
Questioning if there is a feeling of being submerged or overwhelmed.
I'm drinking pity like it's wine
Metaphorically consuming self-pity as if it were wine.
Without you
Expressing a sense of incompleteness without someone.
Tonight I need a plan
Expressing the need for a specific plan on this particular night.
To rid me of my hollow air
Intending to overcome a sense of emptiness or hollowness.
No one wants to leave this place
Observing a reluctance of others to leave a certain place.
And I need a home
Expressing a personal need for a home.
Are you within a mile
Inquiring about the proximity of someone within a mile.
Or five million miles
Considering the possibility of someone being far away, millions of miles.
I miss your pretty face
Expressing a longing for the beauty of someone's face.
Since you launched to space
Referencing the absence of someone who has ventured into space.
Once in a while
Intermittently reflecting on something or someone.
I think about you every waking hour
Frequently thinking about someone during waking hours.
Here in my crater
Feeling at home within one's own emotional or physical space, possibly a crater.
I am home
Affirming a sense of belonging and comfort.
