Verse 1:
I’m a ghost in this airport
Waiting for the next flight
Every face is a blur
In the harsh, fluorescent light
Jetlag takes its toll
As I drift in and out of dreams
Wrapped in paper blankets
Nothing's ever as it seems
Chorus:
I’m lost in the sky
Where time ceases to exist
Jetlag blues, oh why?
In the void, I can’t resist
Verse 2:
The wheels touch down softly
But my mind’s still in the air
Another city is calling
Yet I’m stuck in this despair
Passport filled with stamps
But my heart’s in pieces too
Chasing after shadows
Of a life I thought I knew
Chorus:
I’m lost in the sky
Where time ceases to exist
Jetlag blues, oh why?
In the void, I can’t resist
Bridge:
I wander through the night
To find a piece of home
But every step I take
Feels like I'm all alone
Thoughts like whispers hang
In this unfamiliar place
Searching for a moment
In the chaos of the race
Outro:
Jetlag blues, a restless song
In this world, I can’t belong
I’m just a traveler, lost at sea
Jetlag blues, will you set me free?
