Million Miles

By: Sharaya Mikael

Tell me your story, more than moments stitched in ryme
Pull me in deeper, let me swim inside your mind
Tell me a fable, of the life you live inside
Darling I'm able to sit at your lips a million miles
Sing me your favorite lullabye

Paint me your memories, etched in stained glass time
No detail too boring, sequence of songs you’ve memorized
Of treasure and heroes bound by words you’ve underlined
Your life is a mystery, beneath the surface secrets hide
Sing me your favorite lullabye

You are the center of my sky tonight
I want to know what makes you shine so bright
You are the star of my stage tonight
I'm standing and clapping for encores of your face

Sing me your favorite lullabye

I originally wrote this song thinking it was about getting to know someone on a deeper level. But when I started performing the song, it’s as if a light switched on and I realized that it is really about me wanting to be known in this way. These are the questions I long to be asked. This is the way I want to be sought out.

I think this desire is in all of us, and it fascinates me that there is always more to learn about someone. No matter how long we have known each other, there are always new stories and layers to be told and explored.

In this way, this is my love song, as I imagine what being in love and being truly known looks like.
