i've spent all this time, with a hole in my mind,
sometimes filled by your quiet lullabies,
my school girl daydreams of you in disguise,
i've wanted you for too long and now
i've opened my eyes,
to your smile, your laugh, and everything
about you that i've realized,
i'll want forever in my life.
i call you to linger on every word,
and wonder if you think the way we love is so absurd,
when i'm away, i call you and wonder if
even 3 hours ahead, you still sound the same,
thoughts of you and the signs that you gave,
to lead me back the gold.
it's nice to know that you're always home,
it's nice to know that we're in the same time zone,
it's nice to know that when i'm back,
you'll only be 20 minutes away,
waiting for me, the sun shining on the bare of your back.
it's nice to know that late at night,
you'll be fast asleep,
as will i, comforted by my silent nightmares,
the longing when i'm confronted by your stare,
i promise that i'll always care.
this time apart and phone calls, 3 hours too early,
help me to remember,
i like that we live in the same time zone,
i like that i don't even have to pick up the phone,
i like that you're living out your big dreams,
in our peaceful city, always right next to me.
i know that i shouldn't,
but i hope that we're always in the same time zone.
