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