NYZA ORIGINALS
Time Zone Ghost
He watches her live story at 2am—she's laughing at a bar he'll never visit, in a city that won't sleep for another eight hours. His thumb hovers over the heart, but it feels like clapping for someone through a wall. By the time he texts her good morning, she's already asleep.
Lyrics
Verse 1
You're waking up when I'm fading out
Lights on your side, I'm in the black
I see your name but you don't see mine
Just ghosts living on a different line
Chorus
We're speaking but the words don't land
Touching through a time zone, understand?
You're real but you're so far away
I'm here, but I'm never gonna stay
Time zone ghost, time zone ghost
The one you want but I'm still the most
Verse 2
Your morning coffee, my middle night
I'm scrolling through your yesterday
While you're already tomorrow bound
I'm stuck between the sound of you
Chorus
We're speaking but the words don't land
Touching through a time zone, understand?
You're real but you're so far away
I'm here, but I'm never gonna stay
Time zone ghost, time zone ghost
The one you want but I'm still the most
Bridge
What if we lived in the same hour?
What if I could be there when you need me?
But the clock keeps moving, keeps dividing
Keeps me just a little too late, too soon
Outro
Time zone ghost, fading with the light
Time zone ghost, I'll be gone by night
