"Daylight" lyrics

"Daylight"

Here I am waiting
I'll have to leave soon
Why am I holding on?
We knew this day would come
We knew it all along
How did it come so fast?

This is our last night, but it's late
And I'm trying not to sleep
'Cause I know when I wake
I will have to slip away

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight, I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight, I need to hold you so close

Ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa
Ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Here I am staring
At your perfection
In my arms, so beautiful
The sky is getting bright
The stars are burning out
Somebody slow it down

This is way too hard
'Cause I know when the sun comes up
I will leave, this is my last glance
That will soon be a memory

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight, I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight, I need to hold you so close

Ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa
Ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa

I never want it to stop
Because I don't wanna start all over, start all over
I was afraid of the dark
But now it's all that I want, all that I want, all that I want

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight, I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight, I need to hold you so close

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight, I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight, I need to hold you so close

Ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa
Ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa, ooh-whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Ooh-whoa-oa (Yeah), ooh-whoa-oa (Yeah)
Ooh-whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa (Yeah, yeah)
Ooh-whoa-oa (Yeah), ooh-whoa-oa (Yeah-eah)
Ooh-whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa

The third single from the band's fourth studio album. It premiered on The Voice show on the 8th of November 2012.
Cameron Adams from The Herald Sun noted that the introduction of "Daylight" is the same as the Backstreet Boys' 2005 single "Just Want You to Know". Many other critics agreed that the song resembles Coldplay songs.
The band and Alicia Keys performed the mashup of this song and her "Girl on Fire" at 2013 Grammy Awards ceremony.
In order to create a music video for this track, the band asked their fans to record and send their love-or-hate stories which would be incorporated into the video. Adam Levine said, "...there are common themes that bring us together, inspire and show everyone what is important today. With this video, we'll present the world today and beyond, creating more than just a music video."
