Daylight in the City Lyrics by Strata

Strata Presents the End of the World

2007

[Verse 1]
It's the start of a bright, new day
As the light finds its way through curtains
At the end of my night
I'm alive in a city of dead people rising for work
And as they ride through the cycle
The machine revving up
I feel a little suicidal
Just not high enough to jump
Oh, who am I kidding now?
My plan to die young
Somehow is just a memory
It's just a memory now
[Chorus]
It's daylight in the city
"Just hold me," she said
"It's been a long night, in the city
Just hold me, hold me...."
[Verse 2]
I had an old friend who said I should run
Like today is the last of my sick, sorry, little life
And as I stared into my own eyes
In the mirror by my bed, that's when I realized
Nobody ever told me that I'm just afraid of dying
[Chorus]
It's daylight in the city
"Just hold me," she said
"It's been a long night, in the city
Just hold me, hold me...."
[Bridge]
She told me everything is gonna be all right
It's been a long night
Everything is gonna be just fine
She told me everything is gonna be all right
It's been a long night
Everything is gonna be just fine
[Chorus]
It's daylight in the city
"Just hold me," she said
"It's been a long night, in the city
Just hold me, hold me...."
[Post-Chorus]
It's daylight
Oh... oh...
It's been a long night
Oh... oh...
Just hold me, hold me
[Outro]
It's daylight in the city
"Just hold me," she said
"It's been a long night in the city
Just hold me, hold me...."
