Jet Lag (feat. Natasha Bedingfield) Lyrics

What time is it where you are?
I miss you more than anything
I'm back at home
You feel so far
Waiting for the phone to ring
It's getting lonely living upside-down
I don't even wanna be in this town
Trying to figure the time zone's making 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
And it's driving me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
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've been keeping busy all the time
Just to try to keep you off my mind
Trying to figure the time zone's making me crazy

I miss you so bad
(I miss you so bad)
I miss you so bad
(I miss you so bad)
I miss you so bad
(I wanna share your horizon)
I miss you so bad
(And see the same sun rising)
I miss you so bad
(And 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
And it's driving me mad

I miss when you say good morning
But it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad
I miss you so bad
And my heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Is so jet lagged
(Is so jet lagged)

Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?)

I'm Just A Kid

I'd Do Anything

You say good morning
When it's midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wooo first comment! Heard this on the radio today and the lyrics really speak to me as my partner is currently overseas and I'm missing him. Glad the lads are releasing another album. I grew up during my teens listening to them and although they are definatly not the most hardcore of all musicians they have a lot of fun, feel good songs.

I'm glad they made their comeback so well. I feel like they took exactly what I've been thinking and made it coherent. my husband is overseas too, and it sucks. But songs like this make it a little bit better <3

The film clip basically sums up what the lyrics are about. It's about two people who are miles apart from each other due to one's commitments, but the two cannot wait to see each other again.

In the meantime, they have to cope with calling at different times and at different times around the world, all whilst counting down the days before one's return to the other.

Quite a good song, too.

Obviously, what another commenter said was absolutely correct, but by my interpretation, in the end when they say, “I miss when you said goodmorning...”, it meant that once they saw each other again, they had changed so much that they weren't compatible as lovers anymore but still love each other and miss when they were together. Or perhaps they just stopped communocating, slowly ceasing to call each other every day, just loosing touch, until they seem to unspokenly break up.

So I beleive it to be a story of lovers that drift apart or break up because of a lengthy long distance relationship that changed them individually.
