Jet lag

Jet lag, medically referred to as desynchronosis and rarely as circadian dysrhythmia, is a physiological condition which results from alterations to the body's circadian rhythms resulting from rapid long-distance transmeridian (east–west or west–east) travel on high-speed aircraft. For example, someone travelling from New York to California feels as if the time were three hours later than local time. Jet lag was previously classified as one of the circadian rhythm sleep disorders.

The condition of jet lag may last several days until one is fully adjusted to the new time zone, and a recovery rate of one day per time zone crossed is a suggested guideline. The issue of jet lag is especially pronounced for airline pilots, crew, and frequent travellers. Airlines have regulations aimed at combating pilot fatigue caused by jet lag.

The common term "jet lag" is used, because before the arrival of passenger jet aircraft, it was generally uncommon to travel far and fast enough to cause jet lag. Trips in propeller-driven aircraft and trains were slower and of more limited distance than jet flights, and thus did not contribute widely to the problem.

The review commented that the song is a "surprisingly lovely pop-punk pounder about intercontinental relationships." Joe DeAndrea from Absolute Punk said that "Jet Lag is Simple Plan's first big single in a long time, almost in vein of No Pads' "I'd Do Anything." Not as rocking, but packs the same similar punch." Davey Boy from Sputnikmusic was also positive, saying that "English pop songstress Natasha Bedingfield fares best with the call and response vocals of 'Jet Lag' making for an effective radio pop-rocker that plies the oft-used theme of long-distance relationships."

    Let's go swimming in the morning (x3)
    Let's go swimming
    There's all these hours in the day,
    we are, we are
    We run to let them get away
    we are, we are
    I hid my back against the wall
    I stumbled down, I took a fall
    I bet you are, I bet you are
    I stifled the cold, I fed the flu
    I'm on my feet, I feel brand new,
    I bet you are, I bet you are
    Let's go swimming in the morning (x3)
    Let's go swimming
    Goodbye my friend, this is the end (x2)
    We are dreaming, I'm sorry I let you
    I'm sorry I let you down
    We are dreaming, I'm sorry I let you down
    I'm sorry I let you down
    Let's go swimming in the morning (x3)
