It's the start of a bright, new day
As the light finds its way through curtains
At the end of my night
I'm alive in a city of dead people rising for work
And as they ride through the cycle
The machine revving up
I feel a little suicidal,
Just not high enough to jump
Oh, who am I kidding now?
My plan to die young
Somehow is just a memory
It's just a memory now
It's daylight in the city
"Just hold me," she said,
"It's been a long night, in the city
"Just hold me, hold me...."
I had an old friend who said I should run
Like today is the last of my sick, sorry, little life
And as I stared into my own eyes in the mirror by my bed
That's when I realized nobody ever told me that
I'm just afraid of dying
It's daylight in the city
"Just hold me," she said,
"It's been a long night, in the city
"Just hold me, hold me...."
She told me, "Everything is gonna be all right
"It's been a long night
"Everything is gonna be just fine"
