“Daylight” is the fifth track off Harry Styles' third studio album, Harry’s House. Styles unveiled the song a day before its release at the Citi Concert Series for the TODAY show.
The song focuses on a lover who pushed Harry away despite all his affection for them. In a May 2022 interview for the Howard Stern Show, the British singer declared that “Daylight” was written in a “stream-of-consciousness” style after ruminating on a relationship all night—the band stayed up until daylight to finish composing the song.
Lyrics of Daylight
I'm on the roof, you're in your airplane seat
I was nose-bleeding, looking for life out there
Reading your horoscope, you were just doing cocaine
In my kitchen, you never listen, I hope you're missing me by now
If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you
You'd be the spoon
Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you
Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (ooh-ooh)
Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (ooh-ooh)
Daylight, you got me calling at all times (ooh-ooh)
Ain't gonna sleep 'til the daylight (ooh-ooh)
Out of New York, I'm on the come down speed
We're on bicycles, saying there's life out there
You got the antidote, I'll take one to go, go please
Get the picture, cut out my middle
You ain't got time for me right now
If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you
You'd be the spoon
Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you
Daylight, you got me calling at all times (ooh-ooh)
Ain't gonna sleep 'til the daylight (ooh-ooh)
Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (ooh-ooh)
Daylight, you got me cursing the daylight (ooh-ooh)
Daylight, you got me calling at all times (ooh-ooh)
Ain't gonna sleep 'til the daylight (ooh-ooh)
If I was a bluebird, I would fly to you
You'd be the spoon
Dip you in honey so I could be sticking to you
