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"
