Jet Lag

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 delaying

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

But don't you worry 'bout 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

Oh-oh, through the terminal I hustle

But I don't make it in the shuffle

So now I'm stranded here in Brussels till nine (ooh)

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 (say I'll see you soon)

And if you ever get sad

I'll pack the checked bag (checked bag)

It's worth all the jet lag

To make my way to you, mm
