Daylight in the City Lyrics

It's the start of a bright new day as the light finds its way through the 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, is just a memory now.

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..."

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.

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..."

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.

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..."

It's daylight
It's been a long night
Just hold me, hold me

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..."
