"Jet Lag" lyrics

Bags are waiting at the front door
Double-check you got your passport
A couple minutes, you'll be late for your flight
Taxi driver's out there waiting
But you and I are both delayin'
I can't believe that we are saying goodbye

We won't be together
But that's not forever
I'll send you a letter
And say I'll see you soon
If you ever get sad
I'll pack a checked bag
It's worth all the jet lag
To make my way to you

We try to stay in touch, it's hard though
When your today is my tomorrow
You know that you can always borrow my time (mmm)
But don't you worry about the distance
If you're talking then I'll listen
I'm just a couple hundred minutes behind

We won't be together
But that's not forever
I'll send you a letter, and say I'll see you soon
If you ever get sad
I'll pack a checked bag
It's worth all the jet lag
To make my way to you

Ahh, aaa, aaa, mm, ahh, oooah
Through the terminal I hustle
But I don't make it in the shuffle
So now I'm stranded here in Brussels 'til 9
Back in New York, it's getting so late
I'm tired but it's worth the long wait
'Cause once I'm with you, it's my home-state of mind

So we'll be together
But that's not forever
I'll leave you a letter
And say I'll see you soon
And if you ever get sad
I'll pack the checked bag
It's worth all the jet lag
To make my way to you (mmm)
