"Daylight" lyrics

"Daylight"

Standing alone with a ticket in my hand
I paid all my money to be here
That's why it's taken me so damn long
To ask for the help to leave here

And how I imagine never comes to fruition
I've got volumes of stories to spin here
And my best dreams are only a sad imitation
Of the mystery that cannot be seen here

All of my nights for a glimpse of the sun
All of my faith in the great unknown
All of my love to be finally shown
Oh daylight, won't you come

I'm a scoundrel at best, all the things that I've kept
Are from those who've already been here
And the words that I write were first written by them
Still I claim to have something to say here

And we each meet the garden as new as the first
Better to eat the fruit than be blind here
And set into motion, we wonder the reason
And trust that there's something to find here

All of my nights for a glimpse of the sun
All of my faith in the great unknown
All of my love to be finally shown
Oh daylight, won't you come
Oh daylight, won't you come yeah

The heavy weight of the nothing out there
Is enough to bury me down here
And this fire in my chest can't just run out of breath
And leave no trace of love to be found here

Say again the thing that you said back then
About how there's no reason to fear here
And the wind will blow where the wind will blow
Don't mind me, I'm down on my knees here

All of my nights for a glimpse of the sun
All of my faith is just the things that I've done
All of my love to be finally shown
Oh daylight, won't you come
Oh daylight, won't you come
Oh daylight, won't you come, yeah
