"Daylight" lyrics

"Daylight"

I was diagnosed with a fear of getting too close
Had to tell the ones I love, I was on the ropes
I'm not the only one whose life's been pulled apart
Spending one year and three months in the dark

So here we are, all dressed to kill, where should we go?
Into the wild again to face the great unknown
And have the midnight conversations
You and I postponed

You saved my life, not once but twice
You keep me free from falling
You saved my life, make it all alright
When I don't feel like talking
You make sure I always see the daylight

It's amazing what the hard times can reveal
Like who shows up, who walks away, and who's for real
So take me on, I'll take the wheel and we can both outrun the past
We will always live forever if we don't look back

You saved my life, not once but twice
You keep me free from falling
You saved my life, make it all alright
When I don't feel like talking
You make sure I always see the daylight

(Have faith that you're not alone)
(Have faith that you're not on your own)
(Have faith that you're not alone)
(Have faith that you're not on your own)

It's amazing what the hard times can reveal (Have faith that you're not alone)
Like who shows up, who walks away, and who's for real (Have faith that you're not on your own)
It's amazing what the hard times can reveal (Have faith that you're not alone)
Like who shows up, who walks away, and who's for real (Have faith that you're not on your own)
Who shows up, who walks away, and who's for real (Have faith that you're not alone)

You saved my life, not once but twice
You keep me free from falling
You saved my life, make it all alright
When I don't feel like talking
You make sure I always see the daylight

"Daylight" is the third single from Shinedown's studio album "Planet Zero". The song was premiered on June 1, 2022. "When you're in a writing session and something like 'Daylight' happens, we call it a gift because it kind of writes itself," Brent Smith explained PEOPLE.
Speaking about inspiration behind this song, Brent Smith told in a short video he posted on the 29th of May, 2022, "When I think about 'Daylight' and I think about what the song means to me and how important it is, I think about the time in my life and the people that have been there for me when I needed the most and three of those people are the guys that I'm in a band with. I cannot count the amount of time that Barry, Zach and Eric have been there for me and made sure even in some of my darkest moments that they always made sure I knew that they were with me, they supported me and they helped me to get through anything just by knowing they were there. So, I pass the torch to you."
Shinedown debuted this song live at the stop in Spokane during their Revolution tour on the 1st of April, 2022.
