Lyrics
5 Miles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It’s a shame that I’m never gonna see your face again
We’re both strangers
But I’m kind of hoping maybe that could change
Well, I hope I don’t sound out of place
And maybe you will think it’s crazy
You look amazing, so I say it straight
I’ve got a real fast car with the keys in
And I’m just five miles from a feeling
So when your red lights go turning green, now
If you say you’re coming with me
I’ll take you there
(There)
(I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
(I’ll take you there)
Such a waste that you are stuck here working in this place
So, come on, take my hand
‘Cause there’s nothing in this town to make you stay, yeah
Well, I hope I don’t sound out of place
And maybe you will think it’s crazy
I think it’s time we make our getaway
I’ve got a real fast car with the keys in
And I’m just five miles from a feeling
So when your red lights go turning green, now
If you say you’re coming with me
I’ll take you there
(There)
(I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
(I’ll take you there)
(There)
(I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
I’ve got a hundred dollars
And you’re mine for the colours
I could just go and you could stay
I’ve met a million others
Lived a thousand summers
Something ‘bout you makes me wanna say
I’ve got a real fast car with the keys in
And I’m just five miles from a feeling
So when your red lights go turning green, now
If you say you’re coming with me
I’ll take you there
(There)
(I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
(I’ll take you there)
(There)
(I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
