Bilingual
I've heard it said the trick
Is to set your watch when you hit the plane
And that way you can trick
The workings of a tired brain
Sometimes I feel sick
Sometimes I just feel so drained
And cut down to the quick
Longing for that voice again
On the phone
You always ask if I'm okay
It's not the same as being happy
I travelled 40, 000 miles last year
And I'm working on the same again
I fell for 15 different girls
And nearly lost all of my friends
While I'm jet set, jet lagged, jaded
You're always 16 hours ahead
Quietly reminding me how I used to be
Airports make me sad
I'm sure they shouldn't all be the same
But they're just landing pads
For boring tourist shopping chains
I remember times we had
Drinking while we wait for your plane
I'm feeling kinda bad
And wondering if I'll see you again
As I recall
I asked if you were okay
But you just smiled and said you were happy
I travelled 40, 000 miles last year
And I'm working on the same again
I fell for 15 different girls
And nearly lost all of my friends
But while I'm jet set, jet lagged, jaded
You're always 16 hours ahead
Quietly reminding me how I used to be
I used to be slick
Supple young hips, romantic young kissable lips
Unbearably sharp, unbreakable heart
And wide eyes and faith
That life could never pull apart if we were okay
But distance kills the best of intentions
I never intended to be this way
I travelled 40, 000 miles last year
And I'm working on the same again
I fell for 15 different girls
And nearly lost all of my friends
But while I'm jet set, jet lagged, jaded
You're always 16 hours ahead
Quietly reminding me how I used to be
I'm trying to remember how I used to be
I used to be slick
