Lyrics

Daylight Matters

[Verse 1]

Wide of the line in occasional bloom

Still ahead of the night

Still never not there

And I'm never gonna be there again

[Verse 2]

Promises speak in

Confusion and dice

A day in the life

Arranging the chairs

And I'm never gonna live it again

[Chorus]

Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

But you're not here

Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

But you've gone

[Verse 3]

Why do they stick when your lips read like stone?

Mouthing the linеs, returning the air

And I'm nevеr gonna feel them again

[Chorus]

Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

But you're not here

Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

But you've gone

[Bridge]

If I'm never gonna see it again

It's too late now

Your money's lent

Dreams I've had and never shared

Sacrificed the daylight matters

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on....

[Chorus]

Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

But you're not here

Love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

But you've gone
