[English]

Oh-whoa

Oh-whoa (so jet lagged)

What time is it where you are?

I miss you more than anything

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 out 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

So jet lagged (oh-whoa)

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 out 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 (oh-whoa)

(Oh-whoa)

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

So jet lagged (oh-whoa)

(So jet lagged)
