About This Work
"Moments for Miles" is a poignant reflection on love, timing, and the fragile nature of life's most meaningful connections. Through the story of a chance encounter that promises something extraordinary, the lyric explores how quickly circumstances can change and how even a single moment can leave a lasting imprint on the heart.
Balancing romance, loss, and longing, the song considers the roads not taken and the relationships that remain with us long after they have ended. At its heart, Moments for Miles is a meditation on the enduring power of memory and the lingering question of what might have been if life had unfolded differently.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I met you on a Sunday
Wait it could have been a Monday
Not so important
Cuz we met just the same
We exchanged such grand glances
I looked forward to romance and
I thought it was forever
When you told me your name
Chorus
Chanced encounters
I had hoped we wouldn’t flounder
Wish we could of stayed in that moment
For just a little while
But the stars always show us
That happiness can blow up
Wish I could of made a minute
Then we might of made a mile
[Verse 2]
Time seemed to stop there
Fingers twirling in your hair
As we talked about everything
And nothing at all
We had so much in common
Oh there were no problems
Until I heard the phone ring
And I answered that call
Chorus
[Verse 3]
A life can change like fire
When you’re so caught in desire
When it takes a turn for the worse
What can you do
I left you there without a word
I had no breath was full of hurt
Why does god take those
Always too soon
Chorus
[Verse 4]
So as I look back on all of this
Think about the time we missed
I can’t help but wonder
Wonder where you are
It could have been so perfect
But I guess I don’t deserve it
I wish we had had a minute
But it wasn’t in the stars
Chorus
