Five Seconds Lyrics

One hundred miles from the ocean

Millions of miles from the stars

They tell me your place

Is a day's drive away

But it's a five second walk to the bar

Why don't you write me a letter

Tell me what's happening at home

Are your days still in tune

And on long afternoons

Are you still happier on your own?

I've thought about writing you a letter

I've thought of all the things I could say

But my vision gets blurred

So it looks like my words

Are just one more thing I let slip away

Sometimes I think that I'm happy

And grateful for the good things I've got

But when the day closes in

It doesn't matter what I think

It's then that I know that I'm not

And I'm one hundred miles from the ocean

And millions of miles from the stars

They tell me your place

Is a day's drive away

But it's a five second walk to the bar
