3000 Miles
Rio Romeo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hold my baby and think about lately
I've found out I have to move 3,000 miles
It feels so tragic to give up on magic
I had to choose, what's good for me is not for you
Who can appease me and my empty arms?
I miss my baby
But 3,000 miles is just too far, too far
I thought maybe my sweet baby
Would last a little longer than the rest of them
Shows what I know
I called you my home much too quickly
Now I'm left alone and say
Who can appease me and my empty arms?
I miss my baby
But 3,000 miles is just too far, too far
3,000 miles rips me away
From my sweet love every day
The 3,000 miles makes me alone
I feel so sick in my old home
The 3,000 miles is far and wide
Long and deep, and oh so dry
The 3,000 miles makes me alone
I miss my love to my bones
Who can appease me and my empty arms?




I miss my baby
But 3,000 miles is just too far, too far

on Everyday I Get More Gay

I was thoroughly convinced
By every guy I kissed
That we could wait and it’s no problem
To let them know when I won’t stop them

But here’s a thought
I’m just gay

I was thoroughly revoked
By half the guys I chose
I know that isn’t that uncommon
What’s wrong with me
I won’t try to solve it

They knew before me
I’m just gay

Everyday I get more gay
And I find out
that it’s okay

Every night
It’s alright
It all makes sense
I’m just a dyke
