I would've been your winter coat, I could've kept you safe and warm
Instead you left me here to hang while you ran first into the storm
So send me postcards from miles away, I'll send you nothing in return
And when you get back home to nothing, you'll have nothing left to learn
In the time you were gone you became more beautiful
But in the time I was gone I became more cynical
You're sick of sleeping in on early mornings
You're tired of pa**ing out too late at night
You had my voice as your warm reminder
I was your Daylight Savings Time
I was the clock upon your wall, the one you never had to set
The only thing that made your time a little less than meaningless
But now my batteries are dead and I'm not changing them for you
I'll find a better place to move my hands, I'll find the time for someone new
In the time you were gone you became more beautiful
But in the time I was gone I became more cynical
You're sick of sleeping in on early mornings
You're tired of pa**ing out too late at night
You had my voice as your warm reminder
I was your Daylight Savings Time
Are you going back or forwards?
