Frank Turner - Jet Lag lyrics

rate me

I've heard it said the trick<br />

Is to set your watch when you hit the plane<br />

That way you can trick<br />

The workings of a tired brain<br />

But sometimes I feel sick<br />

Sometimes I just feel so drained<br />

And cut down to the quick<br />

Longing for that voice again<br />

On the phone<br />

You always ask if I'm OK<br />

But it's not the same as being happy<br />

<br />

I travelled 40, 000 miles last year<br />

And I'm working on the same again<br />

I fell for 15 different girls<br />

And nearly lost all of my friends<br />

Well I am jet set, jet lag, jaded<br />

You're always 16 hours ahead<br />

Quietly reminding me how I used to be<br />

<br />

Airports make me sad<br />

I'm sure they shouldn't all be the same<br />

But they're just landing pads<br />

Boring tourist shopping chains<br />

I remember times we had<br />

Drinking while we wait for your plane<br />

Feeling kinda bad<br />

Wondering which one of us has changed<br />

Cos we used to be slick<br />

Subtle young hips, romantic young kissable lips<br />

Unbearably sharp, unbreakable heart<br />

With wide eyes and faith<br />

That life could never pull apart if we were OK<br />

But distance kills the best of intentions<br />

And never intended it to be this way<br />

<br />

I travelled 40, 000 miles last year<br />

And I'm working on the same again<br />

I fell for 15 different girls<br />

And nearly lost all of my friends<br />

Oh I am jet set, jet lag, jaded<br />

You're always 16 hours ahead<br />

Quietly reminding me how I used to be<br />

I'm trying to remember how I used to be<br />

Used to be slick
