Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in
Everyone looked worse in the light
There are so many lines that I've crossed unforgiven
I'll tell you the truth, but never goodbye
[Chorus]
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
I don't wanna think of anything else now that I've thought of you
I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night
And now I see daylight
I only see daylight
[Verse 2]
Luck of the draw only draws the unlucky
And so I became the butt of the joke
I wounded the good and I trusted the wicked
Clearing the air, I breathed in the smoke
[PreChorus]
Maybe you ran with the wolves and refused to settle down
Maybe I stormed out of every single room in this town
Threw out our cloaks and our daggers because it's morning now
It's brighter now, now
[Chorus]
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you (I could never look away)
I don't wanna think of anything else now that I've thought of you (Things will never be the same)
I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night (Now I'm wide-awake)
And now I see daylight (Daylight)
I only see daylight (Daylight)
[Chorus]
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
[Bridge]
And I can still see it all (In my mind)
All of you, all of me (Intertwined)
I once believed love would be (Black and white)
But it's golden (Golden)
And I can still see it all (In my head)
Back and forth from New York (Sneakin' in your bed)
I once believed love would be (Burning red)
But it's golden
Daylight
Like daylight
Like daylight
Daylight
[Chorus]
I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you (I could never look away)
And I don't wanna think of anything else now that I've thought of you (Things will never be the same)
I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night (Now I'm wide-awake)
And now I see daylight (See daylight)
I only see daylight (Oh)
[Chorus]
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
[Outro]
Like daylight
It's golden like daylight
You've gotta step into the daylight
And let it go
Just let it go
Let it go
[Outro]
I wanna be defined by the things that I love
Not the things I hate
Not the things I'm afraid of, I'm afraid of
The things that haunt me in the middle of the night, I
I just think that
You are what you love
