5000 Miles

5000 miles away I don't receive them

I keep them in a jar

My troubles seem so far away

5000 miles away I don't receive them

I keep them in a jar

My troubles seem so far away

It took a long way

To leave this hollow, it froze in place

It's took a long way

From where I just lost my grace

It took a long way

To feel the sun

The warmth again

It took a long way

Far away from home

To find another one

The dreaming that kept me in a cold fever

Stop hurting yourself

By being a hopeless believer

I was sick, I was blind

For the memories of you and I

I was so sure that we could survive it

5000 miles away I don't receive them

I keep them in a jar

My troubles seem so far away

5000 miles away I don't receive them

I keep them in a jar

My troubles seem so far away

In between flamingos and palm trees

Salt water dries on my cheeks

Paddle out before the sun peaks

Untamed ocean elevates my heartbeat

Every day I wake up in a different town, different street

Warm hearts willing to discover me

Colorful blend of black and white

Tell me, when will it be all right?

The long breath of history

Townships are black visions in my car seat

To make me forget my troubles and tears

You make me swallow my self pity

5000 miles away I don't receive them

I keep them in a jar

My troubles seem so far away

5000 miles away I don't receive them

I keep them in a jar

My troubles seem so far away

5000 miles away I don't receive them

I keep them in a jar

My troubles seem so far away

5000 miles away I don't receive them
