In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Check that out, what they playin'
That's my song, that's my song
Where my drinks?
I've been waiting much too long, much too long
And this girl in my lap, passing out, she's a blonde
The last thing on my mind is goin' home
From the window (from the window)
To the wall (to the wall)
This club is jumpin' (this club is jumpin')
'Til tomorrow ('Til tomorrow)
Is it daylight? (Is it daylight?)
Or is it night time? (Is it night time)
One o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, four
We gon' tear the club up up, up, up, up
Dayo, me say dayo
Daylight come and we don't wanna go home
Yeah so, we losin' control
Turn the lights low 'cause we about to get blown
Let the club shut down (We won't go, oh, oh, oh)
Burn it down (To the floor, oh, oh, oh)
Dayo, me say dayo
Daylight come and we don't wanna go home
We drink the whole bottle but it ain't over, over
Everybody jumping on the sofa, sofa
Standing on the chairs
Standing on the bar
No matter day or night, I'm shining
Bitch, I'm a star
From the window (from the window)
To the wall (to the wall)

Turn the lights low 'cause we about to get blown
Let the club shut down (We won't go, oh, oh, oh)
Burn it down (To the floor, oh, oh, oh)
I say Dayo, me say dayo
Daylight come and we don't wanna go home
I just met this sexy Haitian girl moving like a dancer
Told her and her girlfriends, let's sleep in my cabana
Ask me where the party's at, baby I'm the answer
Have another drink with me, shorty where your manners?
Take another shot, another, shot, shot, shot, shot
I can make it hot, make it hot, we go rock until the

Dayo, means nothing, but if it must mean something, Dayo means "Happiness Arrives" in an African Language. I only know it as a name, but it mwy be a real, actual word of use in everyday language. WHen I looked it up, it said Nigerian. It's Also the name of an up and comming actor who sound African himself.
Shit song; the main melody is a rip off of Robin S's Show Me Love.
