Daylight Saving

Five pm on a Saturday

What's not weighed down will fly away

Life's a dance, maybe a ballet

Choreographed disarray

Give me just one more hour

Go on and fight time, soldier

Backdrops of Burgundy

That spin and float and pixelate

Red wine shines through the windowpane

Our descent accelerates

Give me just one more hour

Go on and fight time, soldier

Let me just stay right here

As we're falling into what comes next

Let's stop right here, a time delay

A battle that we will lose

It's a worthless rescue mission

There's not much more daylight to save

The damsel's crying louder

I hear her shout from her clock tower

Who, oh, who will take the call?

With every minute fleeting

Each attempt is more defeating

Time is up and we fall

Five pm on a dark Monday

Headlights shine on the freeway

It's too soon to lose that light

Trade our daytimes in for nights

Let me just stay right here

As we're falling into what comes next

Let's stop right here, a time delay

A battle that we will lose

It's a worthless rescue mission

There's not much more daylight to save

We ran out of daylight to save
