I've heard it said the trick Is to set your watch when you hit the plane 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 OK But it's not the same as being happy I travelling 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 Well I am jet set, jet lag, jaded You're always 16 hours ahead Quietly reminding me how I used to be Airports make me sad I'm sure they shouldn't all be the same But they're just landing pads Boring tourist shopping chains I remember times we had Drinking while we wait for your plane Feeling kinda bad Wondering which one of us has changed Cos we used to be slick Subtle young hips, romantic young kissable lips Unbearably sharp, unbreakable heart With wide eyes and faith That life could never pull apart if we were OK But distance kills the best of intentions And never intended it to be this way I travelling 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 Oh I am jet set, jet lag, jaded You're always 16 hours ahead Quietly reminding me how I used to be I'm trying to remember how I used to be Used to be slick
