Lyric

Daylight came in sideways

On the wall by my bed

Milk glass on the table

And a slow spin in my head

The curtains leaned a little

Like they heard a secret first

I stood up for one second

Then the room went soft and blurred

Half awake, half there

Shoelace in the air

Everything looked new

Even me with you

Daylight came in sideways

Right through my hands

Daylight came in sideways

I barely stand

It feels like noon

But not quite true

Daylight came in sideways

And I did too

The spoon in my teacup

Made a tiny silver ring

My shadow on the floorboards

Was a bent and blinking thing

You said, "You look so gentle"

I laughed before I knew why

The sun kept turning slanted

Like it missed the whole sky

Half awake, half there

Pink noise in the air

Everything stayed loose

Even my old shoes

Daylight came in sideways

Right through my hands

Daylight came in sideways

I barely stand

It feels like noon

But not quite true

Daylight came in sideways

And I did too

No thunder, no warning

Just that tilted gold

A bright little sway

In the middle of the day

I blink, and it’s warmer

I blink, and it’s strange

The room keeps moving

But I like this change

Daylight came in sideways

Right through my hands

Daylight came in sideways

I barely stand

It feels like noon

But not quite true

Daylight came in sideways

And I did too
