It's 9 o'clock and I'm still working

It's midnight there, and you're still hurting

'Cause we both hide what we know is true

That you've been talking with one of your neighbors

I think you're falling for what's on paper

You've got a type, and I've got no proof

But it'd be easy if you left tomorrow

To keep the frames and swap the photos

Pretending I was never really yours

It'd be real simple if it took 5 minutes

To leave your house for my apartment

And live so close you'd never use the nav

To bring you back 'cause

Distancе should make the heart grow fondеr, true

But that's not the way it feels with you

It should be the reason that you wait

Instead of the reason you hate me

We promised not to let go

But love never grows

In a different time zone

I only see you once a quarter

Like high school kids, but 4 years older

You say I only visit when I want sex

City shows and business meetings

Clashing over what you're needing

Why is it that dreams

Make you so upset?

So just commit and leave me here tomorrow

Keep the tears and swap the shoulder

Pretending life is brighter when he is yours

It'd be real simple if it took 10 minutes

To get over our years of hoping

The FaceTime dinners turn into 5-star dates

'Cause we both know that

Distance should make the heart grow fonder, true

But that's not the way it feels with you

It should be the reason that you wait

Instead of the reason you hate me

We promised not to let go

But love never grows

In a different time zone

Distance should make the heart grow fonder, true

But that's not the way it was with you
