Frank Turner - Jet Lag Lyrics

I've heard it said the trick is to set your watch when you hit the plane
And that way you can trick the workings of a tired brain
But sometimes I feel sick, sometimes I just feel so drained
And cut down to the quick, longing for that voice again

On the phone, you always ask if I'm okay
But it's not the same as being happy

Airports make me sad, I'm sure they shouldn't all be the same
But they're just landing pads for boring tourist shopping chains
I think of times we had, drinking while we wait for your plane
And feeling kind of bad and wondering which one of us has changed

Because we used to be slick with supple young hips
Romantic young kissable lips, unbearably sharp unbreakable heart
Wide eyes and faith that life could never pull us apart if we were okay
But distance kills the best intentions

I traveled 40,000 miles last year and I'm working on the same again
I fell for 15 different girls and nearly lost all of my friends
And though I'm jet set, jet lag jaded, you're always sixteen hours ahead
Quietly reminding me how I used to be, I used to be slick
