Daylight
Mia Rollo Lyrics

Here I am waiting
The singer is patiently waiting for something to happen

I'll have to leave soon
The singer has to leave soon and is concerned about it

Why am I holding on?
The singer is questioning why they are trying to hold onto something that will soon end

We knew this day would come
The singer and someone else knew that this day, when they had to say goodbye, was inevitable

We knew it all along
The knowledge that this day would come was something the singer and someone else had long understood

How did it come so fast?
The singer is surprised at how quickly the day has arrived

This is our last night but it's late
It is late in the night and this is the final night the singer and someone else will spend together

And I'm trying not to sleep
The singer is attempting to stay awake so they can maximize their time together

Cause I know, when I wake, I will have to slip away
The singer is fully aware that they will need to leave in the morning and saying goodbye will be difficult

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
When the sun comes up, the singer will need to leave

But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close
The singer wants to savor this last night by holding the other person very close

Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
Once the sun comes up, the two people will be on their own and no longer have this moment together

But tonight I need to hold you so close
The singer feels a deep need to hold the other person close for the duration of the night

Here I am staring at your perfection
The singer is admiring the other person's beauty and perfection

In my arms, so beautiful
The other person is in the singer's arms and they are very beautiful

The sky is getting bright, the stars are burning out
The sky is beginning to lighten as the night draws to a close, and the stars are disappearing as a result

Somebody slow it down
The singer wants time to slow down so this night can last longer

This is way too hard, cause I know
This situation is very difficult for the singer because they know they will need to part ways in the morning

When the sun comes up, I will leave
The singer must leave when the sun comes up

This is my last glance that will soon be memory
The singer wants to remember this moment, as it will soon be nothing more than a memory

I never want it to stop
The singer wishes this moment could keep going forever

Because I don't wanna start all over
Having to say goodbye and start over with someone new is a prospect the singer finds unappealing

I was afraid of the dark
The singer was previously afraid of being alone or being left in the dark, but now the darkness doesn't seem so bad compared to the loneliness of leaving this person behind

But now it's all that I want
The singer now prefers staying in the dark with this person to the alternative

And when the daylight comes I'll have to go
When the sun comes up, the singer will need to leave

Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own
Once the sun comes up, the two people will be on their own and no longer have this moment together

Oh-whoa (yeah), oh-whoa (yeah), oh-whoa (yeah), oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (yeah)
Repeating chorus
