Joji & Diplo - Daylight Lyrics

Joji & Diplo Lyrics

"Daylight"

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

And I've been a hero
Helpless
I'm in Hell

And I've cried
Up and down in these hallways
Blame 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

You're hiding on the FM radio
I sing along just to sing my thoughts at someone

And I've been a hero
Helpless
I'm in Hell

And I've cried
Up and down in these hallways
Blame 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

On "Daylight", Joji and Diplo collaborated for the first time.

This song leaked on-line twice in July: first a snippet on the 15th and the full song on the 18th.

The ending of this song's music video, published on the 6th of August 2020, refers to the story from Joji's previous video for "Sanctuary".

Diplo said in an Instagram post that this song might be "the best one of all the things that came from social isolation".
