It was supposed to be just a trip — until a seat that seemed saved long ago turned two strangers into "us." This song is for everyone who loves across time zones and oceans: your good night is my good morning.
It was just a trip, I was only passing through Counting down the days in a city strange and new You sat by the window, writing out tomorrow page by page One look up at me, like the sun breaking through the rain
Maybe the stars had saved our seats long ago I sat down beside you, and I didn't even know The lights were warm, our words were low Someone far away was smiling, they already knew the end The wind leaned close and asked me, "Are you falling?" Before I said a word, my heartbeat answered yes
A door was gently opened, now there's one more "good night" Two parallel roads quietly crossed lines I wait through my evening for your morning light The wind across the Pacific can't blow you from my mind You're the gentlest faraway in all my ordinary days I'll spend my whole life walking every mile of the way
Your day is only starting with the early morning sun While the city past my window turns its evening lights on You said there's a great big tree in front of your door I said my childhood was the breakfast shop and rain on the corner Different skies grew different you and me Who knew different could fit so perfectly
(Chorus)
Thank you to the wind that blew me to your side Thank you to the lamp that lit up before we did If time zones are the lesson we were meant to learn Then I'll wake a little earlier, wait a little longer every day
When your "good night" becomes my "good morning" When the widest ocean's only one long flight away The seat that was saved for us was where we began Two strangers, walking till we became "us" You're the gentlest faraway in all my ordinary days This time I'll be the one who comes your way That long trip I took, it was all to find you

It was just a trip, I was only passing through, counting down
the days in a city strange and new
You sat by the window, writing out tomorrow's page
By page one, look up at me like the sun
Breaking through the rain, maybe the stars had saved
Our seats long ago, I sat down beside you
And I didn't even know the lights were warm, my words were low
Someone far away was smiling, they already knew the end
The wind leaned close and asked me, are you falling?
Before I said a word, my heartbeat answered yes
There's one more good night, two parallel roads quietly cross lines
I wait through my evening for your morning light.
The wind across the Pacific can't blow you from my mind.
You're the chance that's far away in all my ordinary days
I'll spend my whole life walking every mile of the way.
Your day is only starting with the early morning sun
While the city past my window turns its evening lights on
You said there's a great big tree in front of your door
I said my childhood was the breakfast shop and rain on the corner
Different skies grew different, you and me
Who knew different could fit so perfectly?
Door was gently opened, now there's one more good night
Two parallels quietly crossed lines
I'm waiting for your morning light
The wind across the Pacific can't blow you from my mind
You're the chance that's far away in all my ordinary days
I'll spend every mile
of my life with you
Pull me to your side, thank you to the lamp that lit up before we did
If time zones are the lesson we were meant to learn,
then I'll wake a little
When your good night comes, my good morning
And the widest ocean's only one
that was safe for us was where we began
Two strangers walking till we became us
You're the chance that's far away in all my ordinary days.
This time I'll be the one who comes your way.
It was all
to find you.
