NYZA ORIGINALS
Sleeping in Your Timezone
She's awake at 4am in a city that doesn't know her name, scrolling through photos of her childhood bedroom while the person she loves is already dreaming somewhere else. The pillow smells wrong. The silence sounds wrong. She keeps her location services off so nobody knows she's still awake, still reaching.
Lyrics
Verse 1
Woke up in the wrong room, wrong light on the wall
Checking timestamps like it's scripture, your city sleeps while I crawl
Pillow's got a stranger's shape, sheets don't recognize my skin
Your timezone's got you dreaming, and I'm coded to give in
Chorus
I'm sleeping in your timezone, baby, three hours behind
Every morning tastes like leaving, every bed feels like goodbye
I'm sleeping in your timezone, chasing you through the dark
When you wake up I'm already missing the parts of me that never left
Verse 2
Home's a room I can't remember, blurred like a song I used to know
My mother's voice is digital now, filtered through a speaker low
Finger on the call button, thumb frozen, terrified you'll pick up sad
I'm sleeping in your orbit, in the space between where I am and where I had
Chorus
I'm sleeping in your timezone, baby, three hours behind
Every morning tastes like leaving, every bed feels like goodbye
I'm sleeping in your timezone, chasing you through the dark
When you wake up I'm already missing the parts of me that never left
Bridge
What if I stop going back?
What if this city becomes skin?
What if your timezone becomes mine and there's no difference between
Being alone and coming home?
Outro
I'm sleeping in your timezone
I'm sleeping in your timezone
Three hours, three thousand miles
Still not far enough to forget
