Jet Lag

The only girl I've ever loved
Left me alone in the summer moons
She boarded a plane
We'll reunite in ten weeks time
I might've slowly lost my mind
But that's okay
I stood there and we locked eyes
As we said our last goodbyes
And she walked away
Since that day, I've struggled to sleep
The night has got the best of me
To my hearts dismay
And it feels like jet lag
I just sleep all day
It feels like jet lag
It's all I can take
Can't be jet lag
'Cause I've not left home
Feels just as bad
When I'm on my own
Feels like jet lag
Everyday that you're gone
I filled my days, counted time
Stayed up for calls, pretended fine
But it wasn't that way
From the moment that you left my arms
I couldn't stand morning alarms
And the length of the day
And honestly, it seemed to me
I'm an artefact of history
I wasn't the same
And I remind myself so helplessly
It's only the small matter of
Seventy days
And I'd write letters
I'd stay up all night
Make you feel better
When you weren't alright
We didn't talk much
We just never rest
We didn't talk much
Maybe it's for the best
And it feels like jet lag
I just sleep all day
It feels like jet lag
It's all I can take
Can't be jet lag
'Cause I've not left home
Feels just as bad
When I'm on my own
Feels like jet lag
Everyday that you're gone
Everyday that you're gone
And it's three months on
Oh you're back in my arms
And I can finally switch off
Oh I can finally switch off
