Miles to Go



I wrote (and we recorded) this song quite a while ago now - somewhere between a couple and several years - but I still like it. I still feel the meaning. Without giving too much away, the simplicity I feel from it is this: there are still new goals to be achieved before I am ready to call it quits. Thank you Robert Frost for the phrase "Miles to go before I sleep."

Miles to Go

Verse
Birds scatter across the sky.
The sun fades a gradient white.
Times are golden, times are gray.
But in the end it still passes away.

Chorus
Wait for me 'cause I have
Miles to go before I can sleep,
Before I can dream,
Before I can even rest my feet.
And I know, I'll be coming home.
But from me to you,
It's the best I can do,
It's the best that I can be.

Verse
I've been locked up in a cage,
Trapped by walls and lead by a string.
But I still remember the ocean,
And the way the sand felt in the spring.

Chorus
Wait for me 'cause I have
Miles to go before I can sleep,
Before I can dream,
Before I can even rest my feet.
And I know, I'll be coming home.
But from me to you,
It's the best I can do,
It's the best that I can be.

Bridge
Fall away, the shoes off your feet.
You run faster now than the speed of change.
All in red, the writing on the wall
Didn't mean a thing at all to me.
But instead, I refuse to release.

Chorus
