5 Seconds Of Summer New Song 'Daylight' Lyrics Name Check Twilight, Goosebumps for 'Amnesia' EP Track

It seems as though pop-punk boy band 5 Seconds of Summer never stops releasing new music. Today (Aug. 27), the VMA winning band teased a new track "Daylight" on its Tumblr from the forthcoming Amnesia single EP.

"Daylight" continues to cater to 5SOS' tween demographic with its lyrics. Focusing on a toxic yet captivating and intense relationship, this song finds the boys singing about a sci-fi friend and his girl, citing Twilight and Goosebumps books.

"I got a friend who's committed to sci-fi / He's read every comic, he's addicted to Twilight / He'll give you the Goosebumps, but he's never led me wrong / He said, she's got a method of killing," the band will sing in the first verse, before revealing that this girl isn't an ordinary heartbreaker... she's something a little more supernatural.

Too spooky!

Read the full "Daylight" lyrics below:

"I can't look at you in the same light
Knowing what you did in my heart doesn't feel right
Yeah, my head's been tripping all night
I need another point of view
I got a friend who's committed to sci-fi
He's read every comic he's addicted to Twilight
He'll give you the Goosebumps, but he's never lead me wrong
He said, she's got a method of killing
Pulling you in like you're gonna start kissing
Fooling around until you've lost all feeling
Sucking your blood until your heart stops beating

Before we started, it was over
I feel our bodies getting colder
She gives me, a feeling that I can't fight
And it's the road that leads to nowhere
But all I want to do is go there
She's got me, running from the daylight
Daylight

I got a taste for it and I'm obsessed
Lying here no fear of the darkness
Now I'm not happy unless, I'm close enough to you
And all these dreams I'm dreaming
Freaking me out I wish I knew the meaning
Doesn't make sense because I'm just not seeing
How I'm alive it feels like I'm not breathing

Before we started it was over
I feel our bodies getting colder
She gives me, a feeling that I can't fight

And it's the road that leads to nowhere
But all I want to do is go there
She's got me, running from the daylight
Daylight

I'm not ready to start again
And you're not willing to make amends
Now the daylight's dangerous
It will turn us both to dust

I'm not ready to start again
And you're not willing to make amends
Now the daylight's dangerous
And it is much too late for us

Before we started it was over
I feel our bodies getting colder
She gives me, a feeling that I can't fight

And it's the road that leads to nowhere
But all I want to do is go there
She's got me, running from the daylight
Daylight

I feel our bodies getting colder
She gives me, a feeling that I can't fight
And it's the road that leads to nowhere
But all I want to do is go there
She's got me, running from the daylight
Daylight"

"Daylight" will be released on Sept. 8 as a part of the Amnesia EP. The tracklist also includes "Amnesia" and live versions of "American Idiot" and the title track. The EP is available for pre-sale now.
