Five Extra Long Miles - Rehasher

The world turns underneath me

The first mile turns to two

After a few, I forget

Just what I’m heading into

And I can’t turn around

No u-turns allowed

And I have to say, I keep forgetting

Where did you say my life was heading to?

When I look around

Can’t help to think of things I haven’t found

And that was five long miles ago

Will things ever change?

It’s up to me to rearrange

Get back to five long miles ago

The world turns underneath me

A thousand miles from you

Same things to do, I start regretting

Someone remind me what I’ve turned into

'Cause I can’t turn around

No u-turns allowed

This is a one-way bullet train

And the next destination doesn’t have a name

Stay the course, stay on the track

Stay alive, no turning back

When I look around

Can’t help to think of things I haven’t found

And that was five long miles ago

Will things ever change?

It’s up to me to rearrange

Get back to five long miles ago

Nothing puts me at ease

No one to share responsibilities

And that was five long miles ago

Navigating open seas

May be beyond my capabilities

Get back to five long miles ago
