Daylight in the City

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's the start of a bright, new day As the light finds its way through curtains At the end of my night I'm alive in a city of dead people rising for work And as they ride through the cycle The machine revving up I feel a little suicidal Just not high enough to jump Oh, who am I kidding now? My plan to die young Somehow is just a memory It's just a memory now [Chorus] It's daylight in the city "Just hold me," she said "It's been a long night, in the city Just hold me, hold me...." [Verse 2] I had an old friend who said I should run Like today is the last of my sick, sorry, little life And as I stared into my own eyes In the mirror by my bed, that's when I realized Nobody ever told me that I'm just afraid of dying [Chorus] It's daylight in the city "Just hold me," she said "It's been a long night, in the city Just hold me, hold me...." [Bridge] She told me everything is gonna be all right It's been a long night Everything is gonna be just fine She told me everything is gonna be all right It's been a long night Everything is gonna be just fine [Chorus] It's daylight in the city "Just hold me," she said "It's been a long night, in the city Just hold me, hold me...." [Post-Chorus] It's daylight Oh... oh... It's been a long night Oh... oh... Just hold me, hold me [Outro] It's daylight in the city "Just hold me," she said "It's been a long night in the city Just hold me, hold me...."
