It's the start of a bright new day As the light finds its way through the 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, Is 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 Its been a long night Everything is gonna be just fine. She told me everything is gonna be all right Its 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, Hold me." It's daylight... Its been a long night... 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."
