    Lyrics:
    There's only so many songs that I can sing to pass the time.
    And I'm running out of things to do to get you off my mind (oh whoa).
    All I have is this picture in a frame (oh ah),
    that I hold close to see your face everyday.
    With you is where I'd rather be,
    but we're stuck where we are.
    It's so hard, you're so far..
    This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
    I wish that you are here with me,
    but we're stuck where we are
    it's so hard, you're so far..
    This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
    It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far.
    This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.
    It's so hard, it's so hard, where we are, where we are, you're so far
    (so hard, so hard, where we are, where we are, your so far).
    This 5 Miles To Empty is killing me.

    Damn I feel old... I feel like my parents felt when they talked about the 70s, when I talk about the 90s. But R&B today really does suck. It's not just us being nostalgic. This music had real emotion behind it. Today's R&B is flat and too explicit. Anyone can make a song about straight up sex romps, but can you harmonize well enough to invoke real feelings in the listener? Today's music will never make my hair stand up like this music.
