“
And in the daylight I don’t pick up my phone cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
”
— Matt

In their first year at Greendale, the study group took Spanish 101 and the students were paired off to do a special presentation to the class. Although Jeff tried to manipulate the situation so he could be paired off with Britta he ended up with Pierce. The next day, the pair performed their over produced and racially offensive presentation to the class receiving a failing grade for their efforts. Jeff later meets up with Britta who tells him it was the worst thing she ever saw and that no woman in class would ever see him as a sexually viable candidate after that fiasco. As she walks off, Matt & Kim's song "Daylight" is heard and Jeff's sees some hope that Britta might actually be interested in him when he notices her look back at him.


The song with lyrics[]

Lyrics


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
 
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
 

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
I'll 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 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
 

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
