3000 Miles Lyrics

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

3000 Miles

Emblem3 formed in their home town of Sequim, Washington in 2007 before relocating to California to pursue their career. This slow ballad finds the trio longing to be back with their family and friends. "For me, this song is about home, and back in Washington state, the town that I grew up in, friends, family that I miss that I don't get to see anymore," Emblem 3 member Drew Chadwick explained to MTV News. "It's basically about missing them and reminiscing about all the good times you used to have."

Sequim to California is a long way, but certainly not 3,000 miles. Our West Coast expert tells us that the driving distance from Sequim to Los Angeles is 1175 Miles and would take just under 18 hours.

The tune has a feel of a rock power ballad from a previous generation. "[The song] does have a lot of '90s influence - actually, you know, it's not the '90s influence," Chadwick said to Radio.com "It's just the basic, traditional song structure with all real instruments. It doesn't have any over the edge synthesizers or extra production. It has the necessities which, when you strip it down like that, it leaves room to actually see the soul and the emotion."
