[Verse 1]
It’s a shame
That I’m never gonna see your face again, mmm
We’re both strangers
But I’m kind of hoping maybe that could change, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I hope I don’t sound out of place
And maybe you will think it’s crazy
You look amazing so I say it straight
[Chorus]
I’ve got a real fast car with the keys in
And I’m just five miles from a feeling
So when your red lights go turning green
If you say you’re coming with me, I’ll take you there
[Post-Chorus]
(There, I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
(I’ll take you there)
[Verse 2]
Such a waste
That you are stuck here working in this place, mmm
So come on, take my hand
‘Cause there’s nothing in this town to make you stay, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I hope I don’t sound out of place
And maybe you will think it’s crazy
I think it’s time we make our getaway
[Chorus]
I’ve got a real fast car with the keys in
And I’m just five miles from a feeling
So when your red lights go turning green
If you say you’re coming with me, I’ll take you there
[Post-Chorus]
(There, I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
(I’ll take you there)
(There, I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
(I'll take you there)
[Bridge]
I’ve got a hundred dollars
And your mind's full of colours
I could just go and you could stay
I’ve met a million others
Lived a thousand summers
Something ‘bout you makes me wanna say
[Chorus]
I’ve got a real fast car with the keys in
And I’m just five miles from a feeling
So when your red lights go turning green
If you say you’re coming with me, I’ll take you there
[Post-Chorus]
(There, I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
(I’ll take you there)
(There, I’ll take you there)
(There)
We’re just five miles from a feeling
(I'll take you there)
