3000 Miles
Emblem3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First winter's snowfall
Throwing backyard snowballs
Warming up by the fireplace
Marshmallows catch fire on an open flame
All my friends get together
Wishing I was there but I'm never
Living in the sunshine oh but dreaming of a place called home

I wanna run wanna run away
I'm dreaming of a place called home
I could try but I'm stuck in today
I'm dreaming of a place that's
3000 miles away
Feels like is forever
Seems like yesterday
We were we were running 'round town together
This place, just ain't the same
I miss the stormy weather
I'm not okay
3000 miles away

You don't pick up but I keep redialing
Cause you're asleep got your phone on silent
Still early here I'm wide awake
I just wanna hear you tell me all about today
Although I never really showed it
I had to leave for me to notice
That living in the sunshine's cold I'm dreaming of a place called home

I wanna run wanna run away
I'm dreaming of a place called home
I could try but I'm stuck in today
I'm dreaming of a place that's 3000 miles away
Feels like is forever
Seems like yesterday
We were we were running 'round town together
This place, just ain't the same
I miss the stormy weather
I'm not okay
3000 miles

If I could go back for the weekend
Or just for a day
To see to see familiar faces, that's all it would take
But it's too far

3000 miles away
Feels like it's forever
Seems like yesterday
We were we were running around town together
This place, just ain't the same
I miss the stormy weather
I'm not okay
3000 miles away

3000 miles away
Feels like it's forever
Seems like yesterday
We were we were running around town together
This place, just ain't the same
I miss the stormy weather
I'm not okay
3000 miles away

Line by Line Meaning

First winter's snowfall
The first snow of winter


Throwing backyard snowballs
Playing outside in the snow with friends


Warming up by the fireplace
Getting cozy next to a fire


Marshmallows catch fire on an open flame
Roasting marshmallows over a fire


All my friends get together
Friends hang out without me


Wishing I was there but I'm never
Feeling left out and wanting to be there


Living in the sunshine oh but dreaming of a place called home
Being in a sunny place but longing for home


I wanna run wanna run away
Wanting to escape


I could try but I'm stuck in today
Feeling trapped in the present


I'm dreaming of a place called home
Longing for home


I'm dreaming of a place that's 3000 miles away
Thinking about a place that's far away


Feels like is forever
Seems like a long time


Seems like yesterday
Feels like it wasn't that long ago


We were we were running 'round town together
Having fun with friends


This place, just ain't the same
The current place doesn't feel like home


I miss the stormy weather
Longing for familiar weather conditions


I'm not okay
Feeling upset and not doing well


You don't pick up but I keep redialing
Trying to call someone who isn't answering


Cause you're asleep got your phone on silent
The person being called is sleeping and can't hear the phone


Still early here I'm wide awake
Being awake while others are asleep


I just wanna hear you tell me all about today
Wanting to hear about the other person's day


Although I never really showed it
Not expressing how one truly feels


I had to leave for me to notice
Realizing the value of something after it's gone


If I could go back for the weekend
Wishing for a short visit back home


Or just for a day
Even a short visit would be appreciated


To see to see familiar faces, that's all it would take
Missing loved ones and wanting to see them again


But it's too far
The distance is too great


3000 miles away
Being far away from home


This place, just ain't the same
The current place doesn't feel like home


3000 miles away
Being far away from home


I'm not okay
Feeling upset and not doing well

I found this song at my lowest.
I heard it once on my mp3.
It was on repeat ever since then.
Music has always been something that comforted me in the times when I lacked a human's comforting touch, this song and many more were enough to make me feel like a home I never had.

This song popped in my recommendation after 6 years! SIX GOD DAMN YEARS.
It's 23:36 pm, Delhi, India and I just can't stop crying whilst smiling.

I love you Emblem3.
💓❤💗
