Daylight
Olu ft Matt & Kim Lyrics

We cut the legs off of our pants
We modified our clothing by removing parts of it.

Throw our shoes into the ocean
We discarded our footwear into a large body of water.

Lay back and wave through the daylight
We relaxed and enjoyed the daytime scenery.

Sit back and wave through the daylight
We took time to appreciate our surroundings in the daytime.

Slip and slide on subway grates
We experienced the sensation of sliding over metal grates in the subway.

These shoes are poor mans ice skates
We used our shoes in a way that simulates ice skating.

Fall through like change in the daylight
We encountered small difficulties that were easily resolved.

I miss yellow lines in my roads
I long for the visually appealing yellow lines on roads.

Some color on monochrome
I desire more variation in my life.

Maybe I'll paint them in myself
I may have to take matters into my own hands to bring color into my life.

These sidewalks liquid then stone
The texture of the sidewalk goes from soft to hard.

Building walls and an old pay phone
Surroundings are constructed of stone with a telephone next to it.

It rings like all through the daylight
The phone frequently rings during daytime hours.

And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine
Daytime is a good time to travel by hitchhiking to Maine.

I hope that someday I'll see without these frames
I look forward to vision correction that doesn't require glasses.

And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone
I take advantage of the beauty in my surroundings and disconnect from technology.

'Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
The daylight provides a sense of familiarity and comfort no matter where I am.

I have five clocks in my life
I have five different ways of measuring time.

And only one has the time right
Only one of my methods for measuring time is accurate.

I'll just unplug it for today
I will take a break from relying on time to control my day by disconnecting from technology.

Open hydrant rolled down windows
We enjoyed the refreshing water from an opened hydrant while driving with open windows.

This car might make a good old boat
This car has the potential to function as a boat on flooded roads.

And float down grand street in daylight
We could travel down a flooded street during the daytime.

And with just half of a sunburn
We only have a minor burn from exposure to the sun.

New yellow lines that I earned
We created new, visually appealing lines on a surface.

Step back and here comes the night time
The sun has set and darkness has arrived.

And in the daylight we can hitchhike to Maine
Daytime is the preferred time to hitchhike to Maine.

I hope that someday I'll see without these frames
I desire vision correction that does not require glasses.

And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone
I disconnect from technology to fully appreciate the beauty of nature.

'Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
Daytime provides a sense of familiarity and comfort no matter where I am.
