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 you-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 churns 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 you-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
