The world turns underneath me<br />
The first mile turns to two<br />
After a few, I forget<br />
Just what I'm heading into<br />
And I can't turn around<br />
No u-turns allowed<br />
And I have to say, I keep forgetting<br />
Where did you say my life was heading to?<br />
<br />
When I look around<br />
Can't help to think of things I haven't found<br />
And that was five long miles ago<br />
Will things ever change?<br />
It's up to me to rearrange<br />
Get back to five long miles ago<br />
<br />
The world churns underneath me<br />
A thousand miles from you<br />
Same things to do, I start regretting<br />
Someone remind me what I've turned into<br />
'Cause I can't turn around<br />
No u-turns allowed<br />
This is a one-way bullet train<br />
And the next destination doesn't have a name<br />
<br />
Stay the course, stay on the track<br />
Stay alive, no turning back<br />
<br />
When I look around<br />
Can't help to think of things I haven't found<br />
And that was five long miles ago<br />
Will things ever change?<br />
It's up to me to rearrange<br />
Get back to five long miles ago<br />
Nothing puts me at ease<br />
No one to share responsibilities<br />
And that was five long miles ago<br />
Navigating open seas<br />
May be beyond my capabilities<br />
Get back to five long miles ago
