Lyrics
Miles
By Kitty Steadman
Started counting about a decade ago
I’ll keep on counting til the day I go
This heart it beats with every step that I take
Every turn and spin of my wheels
You say you just don’t know how to show it
Say you don’t know how to feel
Songs and storms will pass the time
Time we measure in miles
I know the maps, I know the roads
Baby, I’ll show your heart how to go
This love won’t make it on songs and prayers
Lets put down the pedal and measure in miles
This band of brothers and the crowds that sing
Will keep me high for a while
Open chords and new guitar strings
Living my life in a line
Conversations and a telephone wire
Will save our lives in the night
Sound of your laughter and this smile on my face
Things I measure in miles
I know the maps, I know the roads
Baby, I’ll show your heart how to go
This love won’t make it on songs and prayers
Lets put down the pedal and measure in miles
I know the maps, I know the roads
Baby, I’ll show your heart how to go
This love won’t make it on songs and prayers
Lets put down the pedal and measure in miles
Sunsets, sunrises and horizon hills
Dreams I catch in the stars
Everything I see through this windshield, babe
The things I keep in my heart
Started counting about a decade ago
I’ll keep on counting til the day I go
Your heart to mine, I won’t let it break
Measure our love in miles
