Jet Lag Lyrics

Whoa, oh, oh, so jet-lagged

What time is it where you are?
I miss you more than anything
And 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
And it's drivin' 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 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
And it's drivin' 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

Whoa, oh, oh

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 drivin' 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 drivin' 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

Welcome to My Life

Perfect

Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?)

I'm Just A Kid

I'd Do Anything

Whoa, oh, oh, so jet-lagged

Whoa, oh, oh

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 drivin' 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 drivin' 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

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.

This song could have been written for the U.S. military and their loved ones. Or any military really who get stationed far away from their families. The pain, the loneliness, the fear, the longing. Knowing that your solider is on the other side of the world and you can do nothing to help keep them safe. You can only press on.

I loved when my sailor was able to phone me when he was deployed out to sea. It was usually at 2 AM for me because he was in a time zone 6 hours ahead of mine. But of course, I didn't care.

With this in mind, read the lyrics again.

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

[Chorus] 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

[Chorus]

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
