Timezone
He's watching her Instagram story from three hours behind, seeing her laugh at someone else's joke in real time, the timestamp mocking him. She's already asleep when he finally calls; his voice goes to voicemail again, and he listens to her greeting like it's the closest thing to her voice he'll get tonight.
Lyrics
Verse 1
You're golden hour, I'm still in the dark
Your morning coffee while I'm leaving the bar
I count the hours like they owe me something
Your clock moves different, your world keeps spinning
Chorus
We're living in different timezones
But you're always on my mind
I'm reaching through the distance
Hoping you reach back sometime
Timezone, timezone
Telling me we're just out of sync
But baby, you're the only clock I need
Verse 2
You send the texts I read at 2 AM
Voicemails I play back again and again
Your yesterday's my tonight, your tonight's my ghost
I'm always showing up just as you're leaving the most
Chorus
We're living in different timezones
But you're always on my mind
I'm reaching through the distance
Hoping you reach back sometime
Timezone, timezone
Telling me we're just out of sync
But baby, you're the only clock I need
Bridge
If I could steal an hour from somewhere
I'd give it all to you right now
We don't need the same sunset
Just need you to figure it out
Outro
Timezone, but we're on the same wavelength
Timezone, but you're never far away
