Lyrics
I traveled miles away, days away
I traveled a long distance, spending days away
And I traveled miles away
Reiteration of traveling a significant distance
I traveled miles away, I traveled days away
Emphasizing the prolonged separation, both in distance and time
My love, just close your eyes and picture me
Expressing a desire for the loved one to imagine the speaker when closing their eyes
And just picture me
Reiterating the plea to visualize the speaker in the mind's eye
I traveled days away, weeks away
Adding to the duration of the journey, now counting in weeks
I traveled days away
Reiteration of traveling for an extended period
And time goes by so slowly when I'm away
Reflecting on the perceived slowness of time when the speaker is away
And oh so fast when you are near
Contrasting the slow passage of time with the quickness when the loved one is nearby
I need you with me
Expressing a need for the presence of the loved one
And time goes by so slowly when I'm away
Reiterating the perception of time slowing down during separation
And oh so fast when you are near
Highlighting the rapid passage of time when the loved one is in close proximity
I'm sure these tears will be
Anticipating that tears will serve as a morning greeting
My morning greeting
Reiterating the idea of tears as an emotional expression
My love, just close your eyes and picture me
Repeating the request for the loved one to imagine the speaker with closed eyes
And just picture me
Further emphasizing the act of visualizing the absent speaker
And I traveled far away, worlds away
Extending the idea of traveling to distant worlds
I traveled far away
Reiteration of the vast distance covered
And time goes by so slowly when I'm away
Reiterating the perceived slowness of time during separation
And oh so fast when you are near
Contrasting the slow time apart with the fast time together
I need you with me
Expressing the need for the loved one's company
And time goes by so slowly when I'm away
Repeating the perception of time slowing down in the absence of the loved one
And oh so fast when you are near
Highlighting the quick passage of time in the loved one's presence
Not as strong as I thought I was
Acknowledging vulnerability, admitting not being as strong as thought
Seeing through these tears that I cry
Recognizing emotional transparency through tears
Not as strong as I thought I was
Reiteration of perceived weakness through visible tears
Seeing through these tears that I cry
Acknowledging vulnerability, admitting not being as strong as thought
And time goes by so slowly when I'm away
Reiterating the perceived slowness of time during separation
And time goes by so slowly when I'm away
-And oh so fast when you are near
Contrasting the slow time apart with the fast time together
I need you with me
Expressing the need for the loved one's company
My love, just close your eyes
Repeated request for the loved one to close their eyes, suggesting an emotional connection
My love, just close your eyes
Repeated request for the loved one to close their eyes, emphasizing a desire for a deep emotional connection
My love, just close your eyes
Repeated request for the loved one to close their eyes, underlining the importance of imagination in maintaining the connection
