Day Light
Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am waiting, I'll have to leave soon
Why am I holding on?
We knew this day would come, we knew it all along
How did it come so fast?
This is our last night but it's late
And I'm trying not to sleep
'Cause I know, when I wake
I will have to slip away

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa

Here I am staring at your perfection
In my arms, so beautiful
The sky is getting bright, the stars are burning out
Somebody slow it down
This is way too hard
'Cause I know, when the sun comes up
I will leave, this is my last glance
That will soon be memory

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa

I never wanted to stop
Because I don't wanna start all over, start all over
I was afraid of the dark
But now it's all that I want, all that I want, all that I want

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
'Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
But tonight I need to hold you so close
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa, ooh whoa





Ooh whoa (yeah), ooh whoa (yeah), ooh whoa (yeah)
Ooh whoa (yeah), ooh whoa (yeah), ooh whoa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Daylight" by Maroon 5 describe the bittersweet moments before a couple is about to separate. The singer is waiting for the day to end, but doesn't want to fall asleep because he knows when he wakes up he'll have to leave, and they'll have to say goodbye. He expresses his sadness at how quickly time has passed, and how they both knew this day would come.


The chorus is the most emotional part of the song, as the singer acknowledges that in the daylight, they'll have to go their separate ways, but for this one last night, he wants to hold his partner close. He marvels at her perfection, but he can see the daylight creeping in and feels the stars are burning out too quickly. He wishes time could slow down.


The bridge is the point where the singer admits to his fear of starting over, beginning again without his love. But he's come to realize that the darkness he once feared is what he wants now. He wants to cherish every moment with her and hold her close.


Overall, the song is a beautiful, heart-wrenching goodbye to a loved one that evokes feelings of sadness and nostalgia.

Right before i leave my family just to work out of town,i always play this song. This reminds me how hard it is to leave,i always leave before daylight,that is the time when my son still sleeping. How hard life is,but i know its not always like this. Hardships are always part of our journey to success. To everyone who were struggling now,just keep fighting no matter what. Have faith. God bless us all.
