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 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 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 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 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  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 it s daylight oh oh it s been a long night oh oh just hold me hold me 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
