Jet Lag - Adam Barnes

The only girl I’ve ever loved

Left me alone in the summer months

She boarded a plane

We’ll reunite in 10 weeks time

I might of slowly lost my mind

But that’s okay

I stood there and we locked eyes

As we said our last goodbyes

She walked away

Since that day I’ve struggled to sleep

The night has got the best of me

To my hearts dismay

It feels like jet lag

I just sleep all day

Feels like jet lag

It’s all I can take

Can’t be jet lag

Cause I’ve not left home

Feels just as bad

When I’m on my own

Feels like jet lag

Everyday that you’re gone

I filled my days counted time

Stayed up for calls pretended fine

But it wasn’t that way

From the moment that you left my arms

I couldn’t stand morning alarms

And the length of the day

Honestly it seemed to me

I’m an artifact of history

I wasn’t the same

And I remind myself so helplessly

It’s only the small matter of 70 days

I’d write letters

I’d stay up all night

Make you feel better

When you weren’t alright

We didn’t talk much

We’d just never rest

We didn’t talk much

Maybe it’s for the best

It feels like jet lag

I just sleep all day

Feels like jet lag

It’s all I can take

Can’t be jet lag

Cause I’ve not left home

Feels just as bad

When I’m on my own

Feels like jet lag

Every day that you’re gone

Every day that you’re gone

And it’s 3 months on

Oh you’re back in my arms

And I can finally switch off

Oh I can finally switch off
