Time Zone
Love Stranded: Navigating Time Zones of Heartache
Lyrics
The red sun sets on lonely sand
The sun sets on a desolate beach.
I'm here reminiscin' and missin' those
The speaker recalls and longs for past memories.
Waves in your hair, your Carolina eyes
Describing physical features of a loved one.
Still run pacific blue in my mind
The memory of the loved one persists in the speaker's mind.
That endless summer faded out too fast
A cherished season (summer) ended too quickly.
You had to fly away I just wish
The loved one had to leave, and the speaker wishes for their return.
That you'd come back, fill this empty space
The speaker feels emptiness and longs for the loved one's return.
I'm barely hangin' on hangin' up each day, yeah
Struggling to cope with the absence, hanging on day by day.
What we have ain't the same through the phone
Communication isn't the same; distance affects the relationship.
You're asleep when I'm getting home
Time zone differences impact shared moments.
We're coast to coast and girl I'm tryin'
The speaker is trying to maintain the relationship.
But it's hard catchin' up three hours behind, yeah
Difficulty in catching up due to time zone differences.
East is east and west is west
Highlighting the separation between east and west.
They'll never be together, like us I guess
Comparing the impossibility of being together to the speaker's relationship.
You're gone for good and I'm all alone
The loved one is permanently gone, and the speaker is alone.
Lost my love to another time zone
The speaker has lost their love due to the challenges of different time zones.
It's dark by me while the sun kisses you
Contrasting the speaker's dark moments with the loved one's sunny experiences.
Good mornings ain't the same and there's nothing
Morning greetings are not the same without the loved one.
That I can do from this side
The speaker is helpless to change the situation.
But wish your view was still mine, yeah
Expressing a desire for shared experiences despite the distance.
What we have ain't the same through the phone
Reiterating the challenges of maintaining a long-distance relationship.
You're asleep when I'm getting home
The loved one is asleep when the speaker returns home.
We're coast to coast and girl I'm tryin'
Continued effort to make the relationship work despite obstacles.
But it's hard catchin' up three hours behind, yeah
Struggling with the time difference and its impact on connection.
East is east and west is west
Emphasizing the separation between eastern and western locations.
They'll never be together, like us I guess
Comparing the impossibility of unity to the speaker's relationship.
You're gone for good and I'm all alone
The loved one is permanently gone, leaving the speaker alone.
Lost my love to another time zone
Reiteration of losing love due to time zone challenges.
Can't hold you close across the miles
Expressing the inability to physically hold the loved one due to distance.
At least I held you for a little while, but
The speaker cherishes the brief moments spent together.
What we have ain't the same through the phone
Continued frustration with the limitations of long-distance communication.
You're asleep when I'm getting home
The loved one is asleep during the speaker's return home.
We're coast to coast and girl we tried
Despite efforts, the relationship faces challenges due to time zones.
But it's hard catchin' up three hours behind, yeah
Struggling to bridge the gap caused by the time difference.
East is east and west is west
Reiterating the separation between east and west.
They'll never be together, like us I guess
Comparing the impossibility of unity to the speaker's relationship.
You're gone for good and I'm all alone
The loved one is permanently gone, leaving the speaker alone.
Lost my love to another time zone
Final acknowledgment of losing love due to time zone challenges.
