From the very start, the song was being written as a duet between a boy and a girl. Simple Plan got inspired by their own relationships, which are very hard to keep up when they’re always on tour, travelling. The song describes the situation of such relationship where the couple is separated by the ocean and it is difficult to get in touch with one another because of all the timezones.
– over the years, Simple Plan have recorded and sang this song live with many different female singers – find out who these singers were in this section on SimplePlan.cz
[English version]
What time is it where you are?
I miss you more than anything
Back at home you feel so far
Waitin for the phone to ring
It’s gettin lonely livin upside down
I don’t even wanna be in this town
Tryin to figure out the time zones makin me crazy
You say good morning
When it’s midnight
Going out of my head
Alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
It’s drivin me mad
I miss you so bad
and my heart heart heart is so jetlagged
What time is it where you are?
5 more days and i’ll be home
I keep your picture in my car
I hate the thought of you alone
I’ve been keepin busy all time
Just to try to keep you off my mind
Tryin to figure out the time zones makin me crazy
I miss you so bad
I wanna share your horizon
and see the same sunrising
Turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me
[French version]
Quelle heure est-il ou tu es?
Un autre avion et tu repars
Je me sens si loin si tu savais
J’attends ton retour encore
C’est comme si on vivait a l’envers
J’aimerais te dire qu’on pourra si faire
But trying to figure the time zones makin me crazy
You say good morning when it’s midnight
Going out of my head alone in this bed
Quand je m’endors tu te reveilles
Et je compte les heures j’en perds le sommeil
and my heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
so jet lagged
Je te cherches quand tu n’es pas la
Dans une semaine je reviendrai
Je perds mon souffle quand tu t’en vas
Je m’imagine a tes cotes
Meme si j’essaie de l’ignorer
Tu es toujours la dans mes pensees
Trying to figure out the time zone’s makin me crazy
Je suis perdu sans toi
je t’attends encore
Je suis perdu sans toi
mais rentre il est tard
Je suis perdu sans toi
Et je veux vivre ton aurore
Je suis perdu sans toi
Et qu’on s’en sorte plus fort
And turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me
