Daylight Lyrics

Wide awake, getting half-past zero
It's getting heated so I leave the windows open (leave the windows open)
Preoccupied with a late night B-roll
Right now, laying here alone is heaven (here alone is heaven)

And I've been a hero
Helpless
I'm in hell
And I've cried up and down in these hallways
Blamed myself

Bad luck, I don't wanna be home at midnight
Sun's up, I don't really wanna fight the daylight
I don't care if you moved on
I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up head
I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up

Sun-dried on the backyard patio
Drunk eyes 'cause I didn't give it a home run
Yeah, yeah
You're hiding on the FM radio
I sing along just to sing my thoughts at someone
Yeah, yeah

And I've been a hero
Helpless
I'm in hell (I'm in hell)
And I've cried
Up and down in these hallways
Blamed myself

Bad luck, I don't wanna be home at midnight
Sun's up, I don't really wanna fight the daylight
I don't care if you moved on
I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up head
I'm not laying in bed with a fucked up

What is the Meaning of Daylight?

Sometimes the hardest part of moving on is facing each new day. This song explores the emotional struggle of dealing with heartbreak and isolation, especially during those quiet hours between midnight and dawn. The narrator finds himself caught between wanting to escape his thoughts at night and dreading the arrival of daylight. He's clearly processing guilt and pain from a past relationship, feeling both heroic and helpless in his attempts to cope. The repeated mentions of being alone and having a "fucked up head" suggest he's battling mental turmoil while trying to avoid dwelling on his ex moving on. The contrast between being "wide awake" at night and fighting the daylight illustrates how grief can completely disrupt our natural rhythms, making both day and night equally challenging to face.
