Send "Million Miles of Water" Ringtone to Cell

Broke down
I found
even when you think you need a rest
you will live about/without another round
I know its
too bad
so sad
all the things that we could have been and could have had

[Chorus]
Hey Girl
What sound/ what's up
a million miles of water that are flowing deep beneath this ground
now
i found you
right here
a million miles of water

you were
my muse
just because you happen to have a bomb doesn't mean you light the fuse
i know that
my girl
big lie
four years in and you never even said goodbye

chorus

[2nd Chorus]
Hey girl
what sound/what's up
i want you to remember that some times we have to go without
now
i found it
right here
i want you to remember dear.

we were
two of
a funny kind
so damn blind but now we got to nevermind
i know that
this is
the end
we tried
so hard, but now i got to lose a friend

    General Comment:it's:

    Hey girl
    White sound
    a million miles of water etc.....

    and then in between the repeated choruses at the end he shout something that sounds kinda like:

    ''slit my love and ask for another wager''

    haha which sounds weird but any ideas on what he says there are welcomed cos it sounds so cool.

    His voice sounds really healthy and powerful on this one - awesome

    this song and 'Lately' should both have been on the stadium arcadium discs

    I dont think the water is a metaphor for love in John album name. In an interview he explains that that album name came from the idea that water was purity and that after his heroin addiction he felt he was washing his soul out and starting afresh and he equates that to recording water for long periods of time - nature etc.

    General Comment:This song (to me anyways) is obviously about a past relationship with someone you loved very very much. Its also a relationship you have a lot of regrets about, and both people were really hurt when it ended. I think the "million miles of water" is a metaphor for all the feelings, love, pain and effort that went into the relationship and that theres so much its equivilent in quantity to a million miles of water. The water is flowing deep beneath the ground because although the feelings are still there (they always will be)they have been "burried" and you are ready to move on with your life.

    General Comment:Im taking a wild guess but he may be refuring to john frusciante's metaphore in the album "to recored water..." water i think may be a metaphore for happiness, when he says "million miles of water laying beneith this ground" maybe the water (or happiness and possibly sadness) has been lost "but now he found it my dear?" taking a wild guess

    General Comment:After reading Scar Tissue, it seems that this song is about A.K's 4 year long relationship w/ X-girlfriend Claire.
