DAYLIGHT LYRICS

I’ve been asked a bunch of times what the heck i’m sayin in this song (aka what are the lyrics) they go a little something like this…

P.S. the gas is shut off in my building due to a leak and a rumor of the building almost exploding… and while we didn’t die then, there is now no heat… so lets see if we make it through the night.

DAYLIGHT

we cut the legs off of our pants
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight

slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight

i miss yellow lines in my roads
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself

these sidewalks liquid then stone
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I have five clocks in my life
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
ill just unplug it for today

open hydrant rolled down windows
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight

and with just half of a sunburn
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time

chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

I think Matt has one of the best voices I've heard in recent history. Love the complete lack of any trying to sound good and just letting your voice have at it.

I saw Matt & Kim play at a house show years ago. It's a good thing they finally gained the notoriety they deserve. Please check out their older stuff if you like this song.
