[Pre-Chorus: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, building, the drums gather]
And everybody tells me let it go, let it go
But they never heard you laugh on a bad phone

[Chorus: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, belted, full drums, guitars wide]
You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you
Every single mile, I would cross it to find you
Keep the light on over there, I'll keep the dark on over here
You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you

[Verse 2: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, stronger, the guitars chugging]
I know the sound of your street at breakfast time
The bells from the church and the bus on the line
You know the sirens on my block by name
We never once woke up on the same day
My friends got married and I stood at the side
With my phone in my purse on a Madrid time
I'm tired, I'm tired, but I'm not giving in
Six hours is nothing, I'll wait again

[Verse 3: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, arrivals board, the music drops to her voice and a ticking guitar, then the drums come in full]
Ten o'clock Tuesday and the phone starts to ring
Three hours early, that's a whole other thing
There's a voice in the background, flight from Madrid
Has arrived at Terminal Four, and I hear what you did
You say I quit on Friday, I sold the bed
Come get me, I'm standing where the board is red
I'm running down the stairs with no shoes on
Six hours of nothing, now the hours are gone

[Chorus: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, belted, full drums, guitars wide, the biggest it gets]
You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you
Every single mile, I would cross it to find you
Keep the light on over there, I'll keep the dark on over here
You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you

[Outro: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, strong and warm, the last chord rings out and fades]
Same time zone
Same time

[End]

[Verse 1: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, strong and low, drums steady] Alarm on the pillow set for one a.m. Your sun coming up while my night just begins I make the coffee you'll be drinking by the time I wake I learned the Spanish word for every mistake You tell me the light on the plaza is gold I tell you the radiator's broken and cold Two years of good mornings at my midnight Two years of good nights in your daylight [Pre-Chorus: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, building, the drums gather] And everybody tells me let it go, let it go But they never heard you laugh on a bad phone [Chorus: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, belted, full drums, guitars wide] You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you Every single mile, I would cross it to find you Keep the light on over there, I'll keep the dark on over here You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you [Verse 2: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, stronger, the guitars chugging] I know the sound of your street at breakfast time The bells from the church and the bus on the line You know the sirens on my block by name We never once woke up on the same day My friends got married and I stood at the side With my phone in my purse on a Madrid time I'm tired, I'm tired, but I'm not giving in Six hours is nothing, I'll wait again [Chorus: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, belted, full drums, guitars wide] You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you Every single mile, I would cross it to find you Keep the light on over there, I'll keep the dark on over here You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you [Verse 3: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, arrivals board, the music drops to her voice and a ticking guitar, then the drums come in full] Ten o'clock Tuesday and the phone starts to ring Three hours early, that's a whole other thing There's a voice in the background, flight from Madrid Has arrived at Terminal Four, and I hear what you did You say I quit on Friday, I sold the bed Come get me, I'm standing where the board is red I'm running down the stairs with no shoes on Six hours of nothing, now the hours are gone [Chorus: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, belted, full drums, guitars wide, the biggest it gets] You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you Every single mile, I would cross it to find you Keep the light on over there, I'll keep the dark on over here You're six hours ahead and I'm still behind you [Outro: Heart-on-sleeve contralto female lead, strong and warm, the last chord rings out and fades] Same time zone Same time [End]
