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
