Daylight feat Matthew Sweet
Delerium Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

if you can believe you're turning on a world that broke your
mind
then i can do something for you even though you're lost in time

you won't have to be my heaven. i won't have to be your friend.
daylight, daylight comes every time, it's coming
daylight, daylight it goes away again now
don't let go don't let go of your heart
don't let go don't let go of your heart
don't let go don't let go of your heart

(when you feel the time has come, everything you wanted)
(when you feel the time has come, i'm everything you have ever
wanted)

feel like your skin is burning one, too many many drops of rain
but it's doing nothing to me, drowning in a sea of pain

you won't have to be my heaven. i won't have to be your friend.
daylight, daylight comes every time, it's coming
daylight, daylight it goes away again now

don't let go don't let go of your heart
don't let go don't you know who you are




don't let go don't let go of your heart
don't let go don't let go of your heart
