Daylily
Movements Lyrics

Outside for the first time in a long time

I think it's time you had a pink cloud summer
'Cause you've gone too long without a smile
I think it's time you found another reason to stay for a while
You should stay for a while

I sit and watch now with new eyes for the green side
Lose myself, sink into your sunlight
Breath in the breeze like a sweet sigh
Keep me tongue-tied
If this lasts forever, I'll be just fine
Oh, I'll be just fine

You are the rustling of leaves
And you are that honeysuckle breeze
You are the sunlight, shine on to me
Shine on to me, shine on to me

I think it's time you had a pink cloud summer
'Cause you've gone too long without a smile
I think it's time you found another reason to stay for a while
And I think it's time you gave yourself a little colour
I don't know much, but I hear that red's in style
I think it's time you had another reason to stay for a while

I think it's time you had a pink cloud summer

'Cause you've gone too long without a smile
I think it's time you found another reason to stay for a while

The song "Daylily" by Movements seems to describe a person who has been struggling with depression and has not been feeling like themselves for some time. The opening lines suggest that the person is finally getting out of the house after a long time, and they are starting to feel better. They are enjoying the sunlight and the warm nights, which gives the impression that they are starting to find joy in the little things that they had previously overlooked. The chorus of the song encourages the person to continue to find joy in life's small moments and to have a "pink cloud summer" filled with happiness.

The rest of the song seems to speak from the point of view of a friend or a loved one who has been watching the person struggle. They encourage the person to find a reason to stay and enjoy life a little longer. They want the person to find joy and self-love, and to fill their life with vibrant colors like red. The person's loved one seems to provide hope and light in the person's dark moments, and they are there to offer a helping hand when needed.

Outside for the first time in a long time
After being stuck inside for a while, finally getting the chance to go outside and enjoy the world

Lose yourself, sink into the sunlight
Letting go of all worries and taking in the warmth and beauty of the sun

It's been a while since you felt right
Feeling off and out of place for a long period of time

But the warm nights are coming soon and you'll be just fine
Looking ahead to the future and finding hope that things will get better

You'll be just fine
Repeating that reassurance that everything will be alright

You said you can't remember what it's like
Not being able to recall the feeling of being content or happy

To feel more than cold on the inside
Feeling emotionally cold and distant from others

But the sunrise will come again and you'll be just fine
Believing that there will be another chance to start anew and feel better

I think it's time you had a pink cloud summer
Suggesting that it's time to experience joy and positivity after a period of negativity

'Cause you've gone too long without a smile
Acknowledging that it's been a while since there has been genuine happiness

You should stay for a while
Encouraging someone to stay and enjoy their time in a certain place

I sit and watch now with new eyes for the green side
Observing the world with a new perspective and appreciation for the beauty around us

Breath in the breeze like a sweet sigh
Taking a deep breath and feeling a sense of relief or contentment

Keep me tongue-tied
Feeling so overcome with emotion that words are unable to express it

If this lasts forever, I'll be just fine
Finding joy in the present moment and not worrying about the uncertain future

You are the rustling of leaves
Comparing someone to the gentle, calming sound of leaves in the wind

And you are that honeysuckle breeze
Further comparing someone to a sweet and pleasant sensation

You are the sunlight, shine on to me
Describing someone's positive influence and presence in one's life

I think it's time you gave yourself a little colour
Encouraging someone to add a bit of excitement or positivity to their life

I don't know much, but I hear that red's in style
Humorously suggesting that adding a pop of color to one's life is a trendy thing to do

I think it's time you had another reason to stay for a while
Reiterating the importance of finding joy and positivity in one's life and staying to enjoy it for as long as possible

I think it's time you found another reason to stay for a while
Suggesting that there is more to experience and enjoy in one's current situation
