The red sun sets on lonely sand
I'm here reminiscin' and missin' those
Waves in your hair, your Carolina eyes
Still run pacific blue in my mind
That endless summer faded out too fast
You had to fly away I just wish
That you'd come back, fill this empty space
I'm barely hangin' on hangin' up each day, yeah
What we have ain't the same through the phone
You're asleep when I'm getting home
We're coast to coast and girl I'm tryin'
But it's hard catchin' up three hours behind, yeah
East is east and west is west
They'll never be together, like us I guess
You're gone for good and I'm all alone
Lost my love to another time zone
It's dark by me while the sun kisses you
Good mornings ain't the same and there's nothing
That I can do from this side
But wish your view was still mine, yeah
What we have ain't the same through the phone
You're asleep when I'm getting home
We're coast to coast and girl I'm tryin'
But it's hard catchin' up three hours behind, yeah
East is east and west is west
They'll never be together, like us I guess
You're gone for good and I'm all alone
Lost my love to another time zone
Can't hold you close across the miles
At least I held you for a little while, but
What we have ain't the same through the phone
You're asleep when I'm getting home
We're coast to coast and girl we tried
But it's hard catchin' up three hours behind, yeah
East is east and west is west
They'll never be together, like us I guess
You're gone for good and I'm all alone
Lost my love to another time zone
