It's 9:00 in Nashville, I'm sure she's still awake
As the sunsets on Seattle and I make the mistake
Of thinking I should call her when she said she needed space
So I wait, and now...

It's 3:00 in Nashville, way too late to call
But still I'm feeling tempted as the hours slowly crawl
She tells me that she loves me but she has a dream to chase
So I wait, and now...

It's 9:00 in Nashville, and as she starts her day
This sunrise in Seattle dawns misty, cold and gray
I wish I could be with her but I'm not needed in that place
So I wait, and now...

It's 9:00 in Nashville, I'm sure she's still awake
