Side by side your steady gravity grips us like stars
Not controlling, not abandoning
You’re the reason we are who we are

My first breath and all the rest you gave to me
Where I stand and all I am you gave to me

Over time our growing confidence moves us away
Deep foundations you laid down for us
Might be shaken but will never break

My first breath and all the rest you gave to me
Where I stand and all I am you gave to me

Daylight lyrics - Page 2

There is no hiding place where daylight cannot find me, nowhere
Even underground it seeps under my nails and into my hair
Running is wasting in disguise, wasting is tragic in the daylight
Running is wasting in disguise, wasting is tragic in the daylight

Make believe that I am strong
But take away the daylight and I’m gone
Make believe that I’m the one
But take away the daylight and I’m done

Creeping slowly forward swallowing my words, only
Afraid the time it takes to uncover every story
Silent is complacent in their eyes, silence is tragic in the daylight
Silent is complacent in their eyes, silence is tragic in the daylight

Make believe that I am strong
But take away the daylight and I’m gone
Make believe that I’m the one
But take away the daylight and I’m done

This track kind of carries on from an older song of ours called Modern Times.  It’s about a couple of things – it’s  kind of a self-criticism about not being grateful for the things we have, it’s about not taking action when action is needed, and it’s about a ‘Good’ (with a capital ‘G’) that exists in the world that I think we all rely on (and without which we would crash and burn).

One of these days I’ll write some nice light hearted lyrics about sunshine or a summer’s breeze… or not. ;)

“What about me?” she said, “What about me?”
He said, “I will never go from you.”
He said, “I’ll be steady for you”

You make it seem easy
You make it seem easy
Seamlessly guiding
You make it seem easy

“What about me?” he said.  “What about me?”
She said, “I will wait for you.”
She said, “I will anchor you”

You make it seem easy
You make it seem easy
Seamlessly guiding
You make it seem easy

Set to move, to continue (repeat)

Weigh me down

Somebody help me
Part of me got loose
Find a piece of you to tie me to
Some will slip away, but help me find
The pieces that get left behind

Left behind
