What time is it where you are? I miss you more than anything Back at home you feel so far Waitin' for the phone to ring It's gettin' lonely livin' upside down I don't even wanna be in this town Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy You say good morning When it's midnight Going out of my head Alone in this bed I wake up to your sunset It's drivin' me mad I miss you so bad And my heart heart heart is so jet lagged What time is it where you are? Five more days and I'll be home I keep your picture in my car I hate the thought of you alone I been keeping busy all the time Just to try to keep you off my hand Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy You say good morning When it's midnight Going out of my head Alone in this bed I wake up to your sunset It's drivin' me mad I miss you so bad And my heart heart heart is so jet lagged I've been keepin' busy all time Just to try to keep you off my mind Tryin' to figure out the time zones makin' me crazy I miss you so bad I wanna share your horizon And see the same sun rising Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me You say good morning When it's midnight Going out of my head Alone in this bed I wake up to your sunset It's drivin' me mad I miss you so bad And my heart heart heart is so jet lagged
