“Time Zones” lyrics
Three time zones and I still say goodnight
Met you at a festival in somebody's tent
You were from L.A., I was from a place
With one stoplight and a Waffle House
Now we're on the phone like a dream at least
Tracking every flight and every little delay
Counting on my fingers what time it is today
Everybody says it never works this way
I say watch us anyway
It's midnight here
It's nine o'clock there
I'm in my pajamas
You're still doing your hair
Three time zones and I still say goodnight
You're eating lunch while I'm turning off the light
I set my alarm to catch you in the night
Three time zones and I still say goodnight
Goodnight (good morning)
Goodnight
Friday night you fly in on a red-eye plane
I'll be at arrivals with a sign and a name
Buy a stupid balloon and a coffee for you
Stand there grinning like a fool on cue
Two whole days of hanging out in real time
Two whole days where the clock is on our side
Then you leave on Sunday and I start the count
It's midnight here
It's nine o'clock there
I'm in my pajamas
You're still doing your hair
Three time zones and I still say goodnight
You're eating lunch while I'm turning off the light
I set my alarm to catch you in the night
Three time zones and I still say goodnight
What time is it there
What time is it here
What time is it there
What time is it here
Doesn't matter
What time is it here
You're near
What time is it there
What time is it here
What time is it there
Three time zones and I still say goodnight
You're eating lunch while I'm turning off the light
I set my alarm to catch you in the night
Three time zones and I still say goodnight
Goodnight (good morning)
Goodnight
