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 four 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 Valentine's 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
And I sleep it away

Sit me down and thaw me out
And watch me ricochet inside myself
Sit me down and thaw me out
And watch me spiral out

And then 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 when I get lonely
And I sleep it away

And I'll sleep it away (sit me down)
To stop the spring from all her warming (and thaw me out)
And I'll sweat like a kid in my sheets (and watch me ricochet inside myself)
And I'm coping, though I'm older
Still too young to be so lonely
And I sleep it away
