I. Daytime/Nighttime

I wish you would get up with me at 6am and watch The Simpsons
Nothing better than a nighttime show in a daytime world
I wish you would stay up with me ‘til 2am and watch The Today Show
Nothing better than a talk show host in a nighttime life

Well, the daytime world and the nighttime clash and I’m amazed to find you listening
Cause it’s a hard time comin’ when you want some English tea and I want beer
Just hear me out when I tell you the advantages of the nighttime life
But it’s the daytime when the sun comes out and the rain comes out at night

I wish you would get up with me at 5am and watch the sun rise
A lot better than staring at the screen and straining your eyes
I wish you would stay up with me till 8pm and watch the sun set
Somethin’ ‘bout goin’ dark gets me sleepy at night

Cause it’s a daytime world in a nighttime life and I’m amazed to find you sleeping
Just get up now and we could do some things that we usually do together
It’s 8am and we could do everything and we could be outside forever
But it’s a hard consolation when you can’t see my elation for the simple things like weather
And it’s a hard time comin’ when I open my eyes and you don’t wanna see the light
Let’s not fight, it’s fine, the sun’s out now and the rain comes out at night

II. Daytime Blues

Well that sun beatin’ down on me, feels like a fever dream
Darkness through my window, best sight I ever did see

Chorus:
You know I got them daytime blues
I don’t want that sun to shine
When I get back to my bedroom
I’m gonna stay up all damn night

Well I stayed up all night long just to hear that old bird song
But just as it was starting, Some Asshole went and turned the lights on

Chorus

Now you’ve been waiting for the morning to come
But I’ve been working all night til a drink of rum
And I feel the heat of that burning sun
Brush against my head just like a loaded gun

Sun shining through my window
Birds singing in the daylight
Please darling, turn the lights low
And let me sleep till the moonlight

Now the one thing that always troubled me down to my cold black soul
That I won’t be around to see the sun get swallowed by a big black hole

Chorus

There ain’t nothing that I can’t see
If only the sun wouldn’t stare at me
There ain’t nothing that I can’t dream
If I wasn’t distracted by a sunny beam

Sun shining through my window
Birds singing in the daylight
Please darling, turn the lights low
And let me sleep till the moonlight

(Guitar solo)

Sun shining through my window
Birds singing in the daylight
Please darling, turn the lights low
And let me sleep till the moonlight

Lead vocal: Nelson (Eli at the end)

III. Moonlight

Wordless vocals: Eli & Edward
Music: Edward Morris & Eli Moore

IV. Look at the Sky (It’s All There)

The sky is only blue if you let it
But I don’t wanna die just lookin’ at the sky

Look at the waves, the floating caves
Look at the trees and ride the breeze
Look in your eyes, the wind is nice
Look at the sky, it’s floating by

Look in the air, it’s always there
Look at the sky, it’s floating by
Look on the wings, those pretty things
Look at the sky, it’s floating by

All I do is speak to you
All you do is let me through
Daylight brings the silent walkers
Nighttime brings the silent talkers

(repeat once)

And it’s all there
It’s already there
In the streams beneath the mountains
In the streets beneath the mountains

Lead vocal: Eli and Nelson
Music & Lyrics: Eli Moore
