3000 Miles
Emblem3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
"3000 Miles" is a song by Emblem3 that explores the feeling of homesickness and the longing to be somewhere else. The first verse sets the scene during wintertime when the singer thinks of throwing snowballs and enjoys sitting around the fireplace while eating marshmallows. Meanwhile, all his friends are getting together but he can't be there. He dreams of a place called home, though he's 3000 miles away stuck in the present day. The singer runs away from his current location in his mind to his desired location, his home.

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.
