A Thousand Miles 


Making my way down pavement.

Head is aching,

Body's quaking

And I'm school bound.


Staring blankly ahead.

Making my way,

Making my way

Down to the bus stop.


And I need food.

And I need sleep.

And now I wonder...


If I could fall

And slip and die.

Do you think life

Would miss my eyes?


Cause you know,

I'd walk a Thousand Miles

If I could just skip school...

Today.


It's always times like these

When I think of work,

And wonder if I can just

Run and hide?


Cause everything's a mess,

And I'm so stressed!

Living in this world

Of chaos.


Cause I need food.

And I need sleep.

And now I wonder...


If I could fall

And slip and die.

Do you think life

Would miss my eyes?


Cause you know,

I'd walk a Thousand Miles

If I could just skip school...

Today.


I, I.. don't want I let you know.

I, I, drown in my self pity.

I, I, don't want to lose control.

I, I don't....


Making my way down pavement.

Head is aching,

Body's quaking

And I'm school bound.


Staring blankly ahead.

Making my way,

Making my way

Down to the bus stop.


And I need food.

And I need sleep.

And now I wonder...


If I could fall

And slip and die.

Do you think life

Would miss my eyes?


Cause you know,

I'd walk a Thousand Miles

If I could just skip school...


Oh! If I could fall

And slip and die.

Do you think life

Would miss my eyes?


Cause you know,

I'd walk a Thousand Miles

If I could just skip school...

If I could just ditch school...


Today.
