Many the Miles

(by Sara Bareilles)
 
There's too many things I haven't done yet
There's too many sunsets I haven't seen
I can't waste the day wishing it'd slow down
You woulda thought by now I'da learned something
 
I made up my mind when I was a young girl,
I've been given this one world, I won't worry it away, no
Now and again I lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light, then love comes in
 
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, send me the miles,
And I'll be happy to
Follow you, love
 
I do what I can wherever I end up
To keep giving my good love and spreading it around
Cuz I've my fair share of "take care" and "goodbye"s
I've learned how to cry, and I'm better for that
 
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, send me the miles,
And I'll be happy to
Follow you, love
 
Red letter day, I'm in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I've been talking to God, don't know if it's helping or not,
But surely something has got to, got to, got to give
Cuz I can't keep waiting to live
 
 
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, many the miles
How far do I have to go to get to you?
Many the miles, send me the miles,
And I'll be happy to
Follow you, love
