Texting in the night that I laid my head down early
I went to bed early to keep myself from missing her
In the still time of darkness when you feel most alone

But I woke at midnight or what would have been
For the hour of twelve didn’t exist
Because of daylight saving
My 11 o’clock turned straight to 1

I missed the time
I woke up early but it skipped over me
Isn’t that what I wanted
To get through the night
To get rid of the night
And forget about my one true love

It felt like romance was stolen
As day was saved
I had to let her know how I felt
So I poured my feelings into my phone
And sent them through walls,
Past people, up into the sky,
Into a satellite that shot directly to her
In seconds even though she was miles away
As if I had cupids spiritual arrow

But when it hit her phone she didn’t reply
So maybe my time with her is gone
Like the hour that never came
