5000 Miles

Five thousand miles away
I don't receive em
I keep them in a jar
My problems seem so far away

It took a long way to leave this hollow and frozen place
It took a long way from where I just lost my grace
It took a long way to feel the sun and the warmth again

For three months it kept me in a cold fever
Stop hurt 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

Five thousand miles away
I don't receive em
I keep them in a jar
My problems seem so far away

In-between flamingos and palm-trees saltwater dries on my cheeks
Paddle out before the sun peaks untamed ocean elevate my heartbeat
Everyday I wake up in a different town, different street warm hearts willing to discover me
Colorful land of black and white tell me when will it be alright
The long breath of history townships are blurred visions in my carseat
You make me forget my troubled city, you make me swallow my self-pity

Five thousand miles away
I don't receive em
I keep them in a jar
My problems seem so far away
