Cold Light of Day Lyrics by Mark Eitzel

Caught in a Trap and I Can’t Back Out ’Cause I Love You Too Much, Baby

1998

It’s 2 in the afternoon
I’ve been here since 7 a.m
I’ve been hiding out on someone’s private property
I know sooner or later the owner with his gun
Is gonna discover me and say
"Hey, what are you doing here alone
In the cold light of day
In the cold light of day
What are you doing here alone
In the cold light of day
In the cold light of day
In the cold light of day
What are you doing here alone
In the cold light of day"
I tried to find the darkest part of the trees
So I could be in an ocean five fathoms down
This pine forest is abandoned and overgrown
I’m not hurting nothing
I’m just waiting around
In the cold light of day
In the cold light of day
I’m just waiting around
In the cold light of day
In the cold light of day
In the cold light of day
I’m just waiting around
In the cold light of day
The sun is like poison it kills all my dreams
Just like you kill me with your laughter
I know fear is the one thing you understand
Your kisses taste bitter
You say you’re my future
In the cold light of day
In the cold light of day
You say you’re my future
In the cold light of day
In the cold light of day
In the cold light of day
You say you’re my future
In the cold light of day
You say you’re my future
You say you’re my future
You say you’re my future
You say you’re my future
You say you’re my future
You say you’re my future
You say you’re my future
