A Thousand Miles - Vanessa Carlton

She'd do anything to sparkle in his eyes She would suffer, she would fight and compromise She's been wishin' up the stars that shine so bright For answers to questions that will haunt her tonight She must rinse This all away She can't hold him this way She must rinse This all away She can't love him This way How she'd be soothed, how she'd be saved, if he could see She needs to be held in his arms to be freed But everything happens for reasons that she will never understand Till she knows that the heart of a woman Will never be found in the arms of a man She must rinse This all away She can't hold anybody this way She must rinse This all away She can't love him And as she runs away, she fears she won't be followed What could be worse than leaving something behind? And as the depth of oceans slowly become shallow It's loneliness, she finds If only he was mine She'd do anything to sparkle in his eyes She would suffer, she would fight and compromise She's been wishin' up the stars that shine so bright For answers to questions that will haunt her tonight She must rinse him She must rinse him She can't rinse him She can't rinse him She can't, she won't, she must rinse him She can't, she won't, she must rinse him She must rinse This all away She can't hold him this way She must rinse This all away She can't love him This way

I could be your operator I could bring you joy Something like a freedom fighter Guns ain't just for boys I heard what you said You should say it again 'cause it's bold, bold It's getting late Darling get a move on it, we should go, go You should never tell your mother You could give it time Pour a drink, here, have another 'Cause this is gonna blow your mind Heard what you said And I say what I mean We should go, go Pack up your things I don't care what you bring Leave your house for a home And you should call your little brother Tell him to be good Tell him that you really love him You don't, but you should I heard what you said, so don't say it again 'Cause it's cold, cold It's getting late, darling get a move on it We should go, go I could be your moneymaker You could be my song Worry bout the others later We should get a move on We should go, go Pack up your things, I don't care what you bring Leave your house for a home

For all you broken-hearted lovers lost Go find another one 'Cause you know time won't wait, and you'll be late White rabbits on the run It's hard to know what's good for you I know she'll let you down But the fever breaks when it's too much to take So you can put your weapons down And all you'll hear is the music And beauty stands before you And love comes back around again It's a carousel, my friend Never too late to change the pace So all the days creep up on you But the goodness is something you don't have to chase 'Cause it's following you And all you'll hear is the music And beauty stands before you And love comes back around again It's a carousel, my friend I thought I heard your voice in the thunder It's the owl casting spells that we're under I thought I heard your voice in the thunder It's the owl casting spells that we're under I thought I heard your voice in the thunder It's the owl casting spells that we're under I thought I heard your voice in the thunder It's the owl casting spells that we're under Under And all I hear is the music And beauty stands before me And love comes back around again It's a carousel, my friend It's in the music And beauty stands before you And love comes back around again It's a carousel, a carousel It's a carousel, my friend, ooh Time won't wait, so don't be late White rabbits on the run
