Daylight
Hayfitz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why are the nights we have too much to drink the only times we can say what we mean?
Oh I wanna tell you in the daylight
I wanna say it for real this time
There've been a handful of times I swear I almost have tried
It's not easy to admit I've been terrified
Cause it's only those nights we've had too much to drink
When we've showed each other that we truly are weak
Oh it's only those nights we've had too much to drink
When we've been comfortable enough to be that vulnerable
But I wanna tell you in the daylight
I wanna say it for real this time
Oh I wanna tell you in the daylight
I don't wanna hide from the fear this time
Oh I see you in the daylight
I wanna remember every single line
I wanna tell you in the daylight
So meet me in the park several hours before it's dark
Let's do this right, skip that drinkin' park
Will you me in the park several hours before we start that madness all over again?
The lyrics to Hayfitz's song Daylight explore the difficulty of being vulnerable and expressing true feelings in a relationship. The song examines the idea that it is only when people have had too much to drink that they feel comfortable enough to share their deepest thoughts and emotions. The lyrics suggest that this vulnerability is often avoided in sober daylight hours, leading to a lack of true communication and understanding between partners.
The lyrics are introspective and reveal the singer's personal struggles with opening up to his partner. He admits to being scared and terrified of what his partner might say if he told her everything, indicating that he has been holding back and hiding his true feelings for some time. The chorus expresses his desire to be honest and open in the daylight, without the need for alcohol to facilitate the conversation.
