Lyrics
It's midnight here, it's morning where you are Your voice comes through like a faraway star I'm lying on the floor with the lights turned low You're buttering toast, I can hear it so slow We don't say much, we don't have to say Just the sound of your breathing carries me through the day Eight hours between us, but I feel you near Every word on the line is a whisper in my ear Stay on the line, stay on the line Say nothing at all and it's still divine Two time zones, one slow call Your sunrise is my fall Two time zones, one slow call I'd cross every line just to hear you at all You tell me about the rain on your window glass I tell you the moon is moving too fast You laugh at something and my chest goes warm Distance is a storm that we learned to weather in form I count the hours on my fingertips Counting down to the touch of your lips Until then I'll hold this phone like your hand Two different skies, one shared plan Stay on the line, stay on the line Say nothing at all and it's still divine Two time zones, one slow call Your sunrise is my fall Two time zones, one slow call I'd cross every line just to hear you at all When the signal drops I'll hum the rest Every little silence is a way to be blessed Say goodnight, say good morning in one breath Love's got its own clock and it never rests Two time zones, one slow call Your sunrise is my fall Two time zones, one slow call Soon I'll be there, soon I'll be there, that's all Stay on the line Goodnight, good morning, mine
