Daylight Savings Time

September's end is on its way
And I am still in sandals
And it's getting hard to concentrate
From all the poor decision making

And daylight savings time
Is nipping at my ankles
When the sun goes down at 4 o'clock
I'll miss the way it lit my whole world up

And I'll sleep it away
And let the winter turn to morning
And I'll drain all the ice from the creek
And I'm frozen but I'm coping
Go to bed if I get lonely and I
Sleep it away

It's nearly Valentines
And I am still in shambles
And it's getting hard to compensate
For all the sick days I've been taking
And daylight savings time
Will throw me off my handle
When the sun comes up it's obvious
That I'm not the man I thought that I once was


So I'll sleep it away
To stop the spring from all her warming
And I'll sweat like a kid in my sheets
And I'm coping, though I'm older,
Still too young to be so lonely
So I sleep it away


Sit me down
Thaw me out
And watch me ricochet inside myself

Sit me down
Thaw me out
And watch me spiral out
