“Daylight”, Matt & Kim’s Gold single, speaks to embracing fun and letting go of responsibility, living for the daylight while duties and social norms go out the window. Its comedic music video, though far-fetched—the video features the musical duo playing the song in a bed, shower, dumpster—spea...
We cut the legs off of our pants
Threw our shoes into the ocean
Sit back and wave through the daylight
Sit back and wave through the daylight
Slip and slide on subway grates
These shoes are poor mans ice skates
Fall through like change in the daylight
Fall through like change in the daylight
I miss yellow lines in my roads
Some color on monochrome
Maybe i’ll paint them in myself
Maybe i’ll paint them in myself
Maybe i’ll paint them in myself
Maybe i’ll paint them in myself
Maybe i’ll paint them in myself
Maybe i’ll paint them in myself
These sidewalks liquid then stone
Building walls and an old pay phone
It rings like all through the daylight
It rings like all through the daylight
[Chorus]
And in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
I hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
And in the daylight I don’t pick up my phone
'Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
I have five clocks in my life
And only one has the time right
I’ll just unplug it for today
Ill just unplug it for today
Open hydrant rolled down windows
This car might make a good old boat
And float down grand street in daylight
And float down grand street in daylight
And float down grand street in daylight
And float down grand street in daylight
And float down grand street in daylight
And float down grand street in daylight
And with just half of a sunburn
New yellow lines that I earned
Step back and here comes the night time
Step back and here comes the night time
[Chorus]
And in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
I hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
And in the daylight I don’t pick up my phone
'Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
And in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
I hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
And in the daylight I don’t pick up my phone
'Cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

Speaking of the music video for “Daylight”, band vocalist and pianist Matt Johnson said,
[The music video] was similar to all of the really difficult situations we had when we first started. Like, we once played in this kitchen where my amp was on a couch; it was a mix of that, and loosely the vide...
