When the Alarms Rung

I was day dreaming for a while
          Thinking about my ex 
            Hoping that we could reconnect
              I never quite knew this day would be so significant
                  Cause I never thought I'd let go 
                    Of a past that ended so long ago
                           I just didn't see any other way
                                without him and me 
                                 But that day when the alarms rung
                                    I must admit that boy I became sprung
                                          Off a new kind of juice
                                             and it wasn't my ex 
                                           that little voice inside has finally went away
                                                 The moment I realized I wanted you
                                                             Instead
                                                          All it took was some  
                                                            Heaving gonging
                                                              to bang me out of a daydream
                                                               that I should have never been in
                                                                     since he hurt me  
                                                                    In that moment 
                                                                       in that day
                                                               I realized I didn't have to stay
                                                                     stuck like glue on one person
                                                                          You opened my eyes
                                                                           and it may mean nothing 
                                                                          But that day was important 
                                                                                  That's the day when the alarms rung
