[Verse 1]
Your shirt still hangs on my chair
Like you left your whole life there
You say I'm the one you want
Then you vanish past the dawn
My screen lights up blue and cold
One more promise, half-held
You tell me I'm your home
Then you leave me here alone
[Pre-Chorus]
I know your hours don't match mine
Still I wait on your line
You say "baby, be patient"
But I'm losing my patience
[Chorus]
Different time zone, same old lie
You say it's me, then say goodbye
On call with her, while I still try
Different time zone, same old lie
You call me yours, then switch the page
I hold your name, you drift away
You say I'm the one you choose
But you keep me in the blue
(Different time zone)
(Same old lie)
[Verse 2]
Your texts come in one by one
Late-night bruises from your thumb
"You're the only one I need"
Then I see her on read
I don't want your midnight crumbs
I want all of you, not some
If I'm the one you want
Why does she still get your call?
[Pre-Chorus]
I know your hours don't match mine
Still I wait on your line
You say "baby, be patient"
But I'm losing my patience
[Chorus]
Different time zone, same old lie
You say it's me, then say goodbye
On call with her, while I still try
Different time zone, same old lie
You call me yours, then switch the page
I hold your name, you drift away
You say I'm the one you choose
But you keep me in the blue
(Different time zone)
(Same old lie)
[Bridge]
If you want me, say it clean
Not in pieces, not in between
I won't chase a moving light
I won't beg to be your type
So keep your alibis
And your blurred-out midnight eyes
I loved you from afar
But I can't share your heart
[Final Chorus]
Different time zone, same old lie
You say it's me, then say goodbye
On call with her, while I still try
Different time zone, same old lie
You call me yours, then switch the page
I hold your name, you drift away
You say I'm the one you choose
But you keep me in the blue
(Different time zone)
(Same old lie)
(Different time zone)
