[Intro] [Fast atmospheric breakbeat starts] [Soft, dreamy synth pads] (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh...) [Verse 1] Counting down the hours since you caught that flight Left your hoodie on the chair, yeah, it don't feel right Staring at the map, tracing lines with my thumb Thinking 'bout the distance and the person I’ve become You’re waking up just when I’m going to sleep Secrets in the static that I’m trying to keep [Pre-Chorus] And I know, yeah I know it’s a long way home And I’m tired, so tired of the dial tone The ocean’s between us, it’s wider than gold At least that’s the story that I’ve always been told [Chorus] Now you’re living on the stateside, baby Running circles in my mind, it’s crazy I’m waiting for a signal, waiting for a sign Caught between the borders and the lonely timeline Yeah, you’re out on the stateside, dreaming While I’m staring at the ceiling, screaming (Wait for me, wait for me...) [Verse 2] Static on the FaceTime, blurry in the dark Missing how we used to wander through the park London’s getting colder and the sky is turning grey I’m wondering if California feels the same way Do you miss the rain? Do you miss the tea? Or did you find a version that’s better than me? [Chorus] Now you’re living on the stateside, baby Running circles in my mind, it’s crazy I’m waiting for a signal, waiting for a sign Caught between the borders and the lonely timeline Yeah, you’re out on the stateside, dreaming While I’m staring at the ceiling, screaming [Bridge] [Drums drop out, only soft synths] Jet lag, heart tag, waiting for the bags to drop Time zone, dial tone, I just want the clock to stop [Fast drums kick back in] Stop, stop, baby make it stop... [Outro] Stateside... (Stateside) It’s a long way across the sea... Are you still thinking of me? [Fade out with fast breakbeat]
