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 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 Through the terminal I hustle But I don't make it in the shuffle So now I'm stranded here in Brussels 'til nine 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)
