One Mile Away
One Mile Away: Longing, Anticipation, and Openness in The Co-Pilots' Melodic Tale
Lyrics
I'm only a mile away
Being physically close, expressing a desire for proximity
From smelling your hair, I wanna see your face
Expressing a desire to see the person's face and experience their presence
It's been at least a couple years in change
Noticing a significant passage of time, emphasizing change
So tell me everything, my ears are yours today
Openness to hearing and knowing everything about the person
Come see me
Invitation to visit and connect in person
Share all the mundanities, it's all fascinating
Encouraging the sharing of ordinary details, finding them intriguing
Don't leave me
Expressing a desire for the person not to leave
Step inside my openness, I'll show you what it means
Inviting the person to explore one's openness and understanding
Hung up in anticipation
Feeling anxious and eager in anticipation
I heard that you got hitched
Aware of the person getting married
And now you have a couple kids
Knowing about the person having children
Is it all in my imagination?
Questioning if the thoughts are imaginary or real
I've only seen you on a screen
Having only seen the person through a screen since the Summer of '18
Since the Summer of '18
Reflecting on the time that has passed since the last physical encounter
Come see me
Reiterating the invitation to visit in person
I could sit and stare for hours, simply listening
Expressing a willingness to spend extended time together
Don't leave me
Requesting the person not to leave and to explore one's emptiness
Step inside my emptiness and tell me what you see
Inviting the person to share their perspective on one's inner state
It's just a mile away from here
Highlighting the short distance to the person
And I'm beginning to feel the fear
Expressing a growing sense of fear or apprehension
