Two Time Zones Away

“This was the first original I ever finished. I wrote it on a call where it was midnight for me and morning for them, and I just kept the phone on the pillow.”

Lyrics
Your morning is my midnight, I'm still wide awake Phone on the pillow, hear your coffee pour and break You say the sun is climbing, I say the moon is low Same sky, different chapters, but you're the one I know Screen light on my face, you're a blur in the glow Half a world of distance but the signal's strong Every little hello makes the night feel less long Count the hours, count them twice Love don't care about the price Two time zones away, but you're right here Voice in my ear, making the distance disappear Two time zones away, hold on tight Your good morning is my goodnight Two time zones away, still we glow Meet me halfway, that's where I go You sent me a picture of your street in the rain I sent you my skyline lit up like a flame We trade little stories like postcards in the air Burned toast and bus rides, every detail I care Calendar's circled with a heart on the day When the miles fold up and you're on your way Till then I'm saving every voicemail you sent Playing them slow like a love song lent Count the hours, count them twice Love don't care about the price Two time zones away, but you're right here Voice in my ear, making the distance disappear Two time zones away, hold on tight Your good morning is my goodnight Two time zones away, still we glow Meet me halfway, that's where I go Airport in my head, I can see the gate Arms open wide, finally no more wait Clock on the wall can keep its different time Soon we'll be on one, yours and mine Till then I'll stay up, sing you off to sleep Promises are the only thing I keep Whisper through the speaker, goodnight, my dear Tomorrow's already waiting, almost here Hold the line, don't let go Hearts keep time, even when it's slow Hold the line, I'm still here Every mile, we draw it near Two time zones away, but you're right here Voice in my ear, making the distance disappear Two time zones away, hold on tight Your good morning is my goodnight Two time zones away, still we glow Meet me halfway, that's where I go Good morning, goodnight Hold on tight, hold on tight
