Owl City : Air Traffic Lyrics
The bird is here and we are off
To wherever those wings take us
The atmosphere is crawling with
airlines
That wind through the clouds
And look down at the crowds
Relax your back and let the noise
Sing you to sleep in my arms
If you awake before we arrive
I will carry you down and I won't make
a sound
The scent is strong as we move on
And breathe in the pristine crime scene
The false veneer is old like a sub stick
to volunteer
From oh some other year
I'm just a shell as far as I can tell
So I paint my eyes a light green
The silver beams are twirling and
swirling
Throughout your dreams
Like air traffic streams
Owl City : Butterfly Wings Lyrics
If I was a raindrop,
Would you be my thunderstorm?
It's cold so surround me,
With rain clouds to keep me warm.
I feel like I'm falling,
So darling, don't let me go.
The thought is appalling, but should I
slip away,
Into the stormy sea, will you remember
me?
Asleep in the warm cocoons,
We dream of lovely things.
We're both gonna wake up soon,
So we hope that tomorrow brings,
Us our butterfly wings.
If I was a grain of sand,
Would you be Miami Beach?
So dusty with starlight,
Close your eyes and cuddle close to
me.
I'll try not to wake you,
Or make a sound while you're dozing
off.
But in the night, should the high tides
sweep me away from you,
Tell me again, my dear, will you be
waiting here?
Whenever we leave the ground,
And take to the sky.
I'll smile as I'm gazing down,
'Cause I've always wondered why,
We won't need feathers to fly.
Owl City : Captains And Cruise
Ships Lyrics
I am stuck in L.A through the week,
and can’t get away
And you’re alone on the pier in West
Palm Beach on your holiday
Stormy nights re-awake the

stomachache that I’ve acquired
From feeling down, things look grim
and I’m so sick, of being tired
Apartment lights go dark, and it’s
depressing but what can I do?
Midnight streets feel dead, when I am
so used to driving with you
Brighter lights fill the nights and bluer
skies reflect in your eyes
As I inspect and analyze all these
dreams I don’t recognize
If you’re still up when the ships in the
port, prepare to set sail
Comb the beach and put those blue
flowers up in your ponytail
Inside my head your voice is still
resounding but what can I do?
The empty rooms feel cold when I am
so used to being with you
Count the stars, watch the waves,
absorb the summer sun and think of me
When you explore hidden coves and
tiny island chains throughout the sea
Can you still hear my voice when I’m
outside from over the phone?
For what its worth darling dear, I wish
you were here ‘cause I feel alone
When you were home, wed sing but
since you’ve left I don’t hear anything
And though I feel so sad I can’t believe
things are really that bad
Old captains and brand new cruise
ships
Sailing over the briny sea
When I crash my beloved desk job
And swim through the debris
I’ll cut loose and leave this madhouse
Bound for the Atlantic blue
I’ll stroll down your tree-lined
driveway
And sail the ocean with you
Owl City : Cave In Lyrics
Please take a long hard look through
your textbook
'Cause I'm history
When I strap my helmet on I'll be long
gone
'Cause I've been dying to leave
Yeah, I'll ride the range and hide
All my loose change in my bedroom
'Cause riding a dirt bike down
A turnpike always takes its toll on me
I've had just about enough of quote
"Diamonds in the rough"
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
If the bombs go off, the sun will still be
shining
Because we've heard it said that
Every mushroom cloud has a silver
lining
Though I'm always undermining too
deep to know
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
'Cause the road tastes like wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and
octane
Mixed with stale gasoline
I'll soak up the sound, try to sleep on
the wet ground
I'll get ten minutes give or take
'Cause I just don't foresee myself
getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide
awake
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave in
I'll keep my helmet on just in case my
head caves in
'Cause if my thoughts collapse or my
framework snaps
It'll make a mess like you wouldn't
believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay
on track
And if my intentions stray I'll wrench
them away
Then I'll take my leave and I won't
even look back
I won't even look back
Owl City : Dear Vienna Lyrics
I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in black and white
Then I reviewed every frame and basic
shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Don’t refocus your eyes in the darkness
And don’t remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot
see
And we’ll unravel the mystery
Farewell all my friends in textbooks,
‘cuz I’m going home
‘Cuz my blood cells cannot depend on
the weather in photographs
There’s a light show out my window,
somewhere way up there
Dear Vienna, are you singing?
Dear Vienna, are you swinging?
Dear Vienna, we were happy like the
shades of May when we got carried
away
I regarded the world as such a sad sight
Until I viewed it in black and white
Then I reviewed every frame and basic
shape
And sealed the exits with caution tape
Don’t refocus your eyes in the darkness
And don’t remember this place unless
I describe all the things that you cannot
see
And we’ll unravel the mystery
I was so far out of place
Watching those stars in outer space
Cuz I am so far from where you are
There’s a light show out my window,
somewhere way up there
Dear Vienna, are you singing?
Dear Vienna, are you swinging?
Dear Vienna, we were happy like the
shades of May when we got carried
away
Owl City : Dental Care Lyrics
I brush my teeth and look in the mirror
And laugh out loud as I'm beaming
from ear to ear
I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights
And rather than flaunt my style
I'd flash you a smile of clean pearly

I've been to the dentist a thousand times
So I know the drill, I smooth my hair
Sit back in the chair
But somehow I still get the chills
"Have a seat", he says pleasantly
As he shakes my hand and practically
laughs at me
"Open up nice and wide", he says
peering in
And with a smirk he says, "Don't have
a fit
This'll just pinch a bit", as he tries not
to grin
When hygienists leave on long
vacations
That's when dentists scream
And lose their patience
Talking only brings the toothaches on
Because I say the stupidest things
So if my result goes south
I'll swallow my pride with an Aspirin
And shut my mouth
Golf and alcohol don't mix
And that's why I don't drink and drive
Because good grief, I'd knock out my
teeth
And have to kiss my smile goodbye
I've been to the dentist a thousand times
So I know the drill, I smooth my hair
Sit back in the chair
But somehow I still get the chills
Owl City : Designer Skyline Lyrics
Affection, the gifted architect
Is making a draft and beautiful design
The options and possibilities
Are endless when we connect and re-
align
Collections of books and documents
Arise and parade around my cluttered
desk
Re-working the math and
measurements
Until I’m convinced these plans are
picturesque
Like mountains in the Midwest
Reaction creates the columns dark
And wide like the roads around Fort
Lauderdale
The structures begin to take their shape
Before I’ve designed the public
monorail
The turnpike and high-speed motorway
Connect and enclose the quaint
suburban streets
The airport, the broad suspension
bridge
The lake and the beach, where several
rivers meet
Compounded from the spreadsheet
A city sparkles in the night
How can it glow so bright?
The neighborhoods surround a soft
fluorescent light
Designer skyline in my head
Abstract and still well-read
You went from numbered lines to
buildings overhead
Owl City : Early Birdie Lyrics
Good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you’re gonna take us
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Anne T.
Tayoba
Someplace that I have never been
It’s chic transportation to
New destination where
I leave my reflection on the glass
I'd ask but we don’t know
How far these interstates go
Or how deep the city routes go down
In chilly subdepth railways
The weathered concrete stairways
Provide me with the means of getting
home
If I ever leave
(On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand
while soothing words)
So many sights to see
So wake up like an early birdie
And we’ll get a head start on the day
Oh, stained glass skyways
And crowded six lane highways
If I look back when I begin to leave
Will they remember me?
Circuit flights bend the light when I am
spent
And tour guides make happy brides
through heaven soon
Good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you’re gonna take us
(On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand
While soothing words)
On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand
While soothing words hover like
humming birds
Good, good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you’re gonna take us
Owl City : Fireflies Lyrics
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in
a jar
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
When I fall asleep
I'd like to make myself believe
That planet earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay
Awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the
seams
Owl City : Fuzzy Blue Lights Lyrics
If I could look across the country
From California to New Jersey
Then I would count the parks and lake
resorts
And number all the jets and airports
All those rather dreary rain clouds still
bother me
Cuz I look through the camera eyepiece
and cannot see
If I could open up my window
And see from Tampa Bay to Juneau
Then I would survey all those open
miles
And line them up in single file
Everywhere I look I see green scenic
sublime
And all those oceanic vistas are so
divine
If I was standing on the balcony
And you were walking down below
I'd feel rather depressed and out of
place
And lonely just to watch you go
If you were swinging from the highway
overpass
Within the western hemisphere
I'd feel rather afraid and insincere
If you began to disappear
If I was walking through a sad art
gallery
And you were driving through the night
I'd feel rather alone and ill at ease
Beneath the brilliant showroom light
If I was flying on a plane above your
town
And you were gazing at the sky
Somehow I'd feel intact and reassured
If you began to wave goodbye
Owl City : Hello Seattle Lyrics
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth
Hello Seattle, I am a mantaray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget
Sound
And construct a summer home
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ lyrics by owl city © OCEAN CITY
PARK
And you'll be out of ideas
Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon Pretty soon
Shining down on your face So let's spend
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
And descend inside of you Leave your jacket behind
Lean out and touch the treetops over
Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse town
Feeling warm in your sand I can't wait
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf Till we kiss the ground
Rolling in the evening breeze Wherever we touch back down
Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and your boats I'll be out of my mind
I sail above your inlets and interstates And you'll be out of ideas
Through the rain and open wind Pretty soon
So let's spend
Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon
Throwing beams of bright lights Leave your jacket behind
Red in the morning, blue in the evening Lean out and touch the treetops over
sun town
Taking heed from everyone I can't wait
Till we kiss the ground
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer Wherever we touch back down
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
Owl City : I'll Meet You There
Lyrics
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight If we could sit together a moment
And talk forever just to pass the time
Take me above your light I would smile as the shivers and chills
Carry me through the night Run down my spine
Hold me secure in flight And your eyes are locked on mine
Sing me to sleep tonight Oh, we’ll fill the metro skies with
country air
And when you close your tired eyes
Owl City : Hot Air Balloon Lyrics I’ll meet you there
We wrote a prelude I’ll meet you there
To our own fairy tale I’ll meet you there
And bought a parachute I’ll meet you there
At a church rummage sale I’ll meet you there
I’ll meet you there
And with a mean sewing machine I’ll meet you there
And miles of thread I’ll meet you there
We sewed the day above L.A.
In navy and red Deep inside of you
There’s a ruby glow
We wound a race track And it gets brighter
Through your mom's kitchen chairs Than you and I will ever know
And fought the shadows back There’s a rushing sound
Down your dark basement stairs That surrounds us
When we walk alone
I lit a match, then let it catch And it’s everything we’ve never known
To light up the room
And then you yelled as we beheld
An old maroon hot air balloon (Wonder down the street and I will be
the pavement beneath your feet)
I'll be out of my mind
And you'll be out of ideas If we could just be immobile for some
Pretty soon time
So let's spend And finally figure out the way we feel
The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon About the missing puzzle pieces and
Leave your jacket behind cloudy question marks
Lean out and touch the treetops over That still look a bit surreal
town Oh, I tend to disappear
I can't wait Here and there
Till we kiss the ground So concentrate and you’ll feel me
Wherever we touch back down Everywhere
And we’ll fill the metro skies with
La la la laa laaaa country air
La la la la If you’re lost when you close your eyes
La la laa laaaa
I’ll meet you there
We drank the Great Lakes
Like cold lemonade I’ll meet you there
And both got stomach aches I’ll meet you there
Sprawled out in the shade I’ll meet you there
You could be anywhere
So bored to death you held your breath I’ll meet you there
And I tried not to yawn I’ll meet you there
You made my frown turn upside down You could be anywhere
And now my worries are gone I’ll meet you there
I’ll meet you there
I'll be out of my mind Open your eyes and see

Everything you can be

Everything you can be
I’ll meet you there
Owl City : If My Heart Was A House
Lyrics
You're the sky that I fell through
And I remember the view
Whenever I'm holding you
The sun hung from a string
Looking down on the world as it warms
over everything
Chills run down my spine
As our fingers entwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine
Unmistakably
I can still feel your heart beat fast when
you dance with me
We got older and I should've known
(Do you feel alive?)
That I'd feel colder when I walk alone
(Oh, but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
Bombs away, bombs away
Circle me and the needle moves
gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass you'd be
north
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house you'd be home
It makes me smile because you said it
best
I would clearly feel blessed if the sun
rose up from the west
Flower balm perfume, all my clothes
smell like you
Cause your favorite shade is navy blue
I walk slowly when I'm on my own (Do
you feel alive?)
Yeah, but frankly I still feel alone (Oh,
but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
Bombs away, bombs away
Circle me and the needle moves
gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass you'd be
north
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house you'd be home
If my heart was a house you'd be home
Owl City : Meteor Shower Lyrics
I can finally see that you're right there
beside me.
I am not my own, for I have been made
new.
Please don't let me go, I desperately
need you.
I am not my own, for I have been made
new.
Please don't let me go, I desperately
need you.
Owl City : On The Wing Lyrics
Breathe and I'll carry you away into the
velvet sky
And we'll stir the stars around
And watch them fall away into the
Hudson Bay
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ lyrics by owl city © OCEAN CITY
PARK
And plummet out of sight and sound
The open summer breeze will sweep
you through the hills
Where I live in the alpine heights
Below the Northern Lights, I spend my
coldest nights
Alone, awake and thinking of the
weekend we were in love
Home among these mountain tops can
be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
But photos on the walls of New York
shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside
I wish the rockets stayed over the
promenade
'Cause I would make a hook and eye
And fish them from the sky, my
darling, she and I
We're hanging on so take us high to
sing the world goodbye
I am floating away, lost in a silent
ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and
I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still
photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we
can go anywhere
Are you there?
Are you there or are you just a decoy
dream in my head?
Am I home or am I simply tumbling all
alone?
I am floating away, lost in a silent
ballet
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and
I am right beside you
Awake to take in the view
Late nights and early parades, still
photos and noisy arcades
My darling, we're both on the wing
Look down and keep on singing and we
can go anywhere
Are you there?
Are you there?
Owl City : Panda Bear Lyrics
I'm moving to Tokyo
'Cause I'm so tired of San Francisco
My contracts are finally void
SHIT!
And I am getting out
On houses and building tops
I swallow the beams and sundrops
If my echoes could reach your ears
Then I could save my calls
What happens when I'm above
The east river when you are in love
We're staring at all these lights
And I am going blind and i don't give a
damn
FUCK!
Fill all of the navy yards
With hard working security guards
'Cause the numbers are wearing off
My plastic access cards
How can I begin to say
I feel better off when we stay
In Paris on winter nights
Beneath the snowy veil
Content like a panda bear
Still breathing the fresh mountain air
I'll put on a diving tank

Owl City : Rainbow Veins Lyrics
High rise, veins of the avenue
Bright eyes and subtle variations of
blue
Everywhere is balanced there like a
rainbow above you
Street lights glisten on the boulevard
And cold nights make staying alert so
hard
For heaven's sake, keep me awake so I
won't be caught off guard
Clearly I am a passerby but I'll find a
place to stay
Dear pacific day, won't you take me
away?
Small town hearts of the New Year
Brought down by gravity, crystal clear
City fog and brave dialogue converge
on the frontier
Make haste, I feel your heartbeat
With new taste for speed, out on the
street
Find a road to a humble abode where
both of our routes meet
The silver sound is all around and the
colors fall like snow
The feeling of letting go, I guess we'll
never know
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and
tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above
you and shoot it through your veins
Cause your heart has a lack of color
and we should've known
That we'd grow up sooner or later cause
we wasted all our free time alone
Your nerves gather with the altitude
Exhale the stress so you don't come
unglued
Somewhere there is a happy affair, a
ghost of a good mood
Wide eyed, panic on the getaway
The high tide could take me so far
away
VCR's and motorcars unite on the
Seventh Day
A popular gauge will measure the rage
of the new Post-Modern Age
Cause somewhere along the line all the
decades align
We were the crashing whitecaps
On the ocean
And what lovely seaside holiday, away
A palm tree in Christmas lights
My emotion
Struck a sparkling tone like a
xylophone
As we spent the day alone
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes and
tell me when it rains
And I'll blend up that rainbow above
you and shoot it through your veins
Cause your heart has a lack of color
and we should've known
That we'd grow up sooner or later cuz
we wasted all our free time alone
Owl City : Rugs From Me To You
Lyrics
To pay or not toupee, that is the
question
It refused to stay as it all turned grey,
old William
Shakespeare's receding hair
Please excuse the pun, it's "hair" today,
gone tomorrow,
so be thankful for what precious locks
you have
To pay or not toupee, that is the
question
And by the way, I just gotta say thank
the Lord I'm not
going bald
And if I may quip, my curls and I are
just like heaven
'cause rest assured, they'll be no parting
there
But should my head get bare like Friar
Tuck, hard cheese
to swallow, it makes me smile 'cause I
know just what I'd
do
Yeah if I had more wigs than I knew
what to do with I'd
open a second hand store
And if you ever went bald you'd recall
it 'cause I'd
cleverly call it "Rugs From Me To
You"
Owl City : Sky Diver Lyrics
I stood up and took a breath
And threw open the bay doors
Below the clouds I saw the coast
And beautiful Hawaii
Leaning back the pilot smiled
And shouted have a good trip
I signed off and closed my eyes
Then I was falling through the sky
Leaning back the pilot smiled
And shouted have a good trip
I signed off and closed my eyes
Then I was falling through the sky
Owl City : Strawberry Avalanche
Lyrics
This is a world of dreams and reverie
Where I felt the stars explode around
me
A grass blade flashed with a gleam
As it slashed open the moonbeam
And I stared back breathlessly
As mountains of fruit tumbled out
I barely had the chance to shout
A strawberry avalanche crash over me
Staying awake that night was rather
hard
Deep in a sleeping bag in your back
yard
When we woke up buried alive
Beneath the fruity landslide
We both laughed hysterically
It could've been just another dream
But I swear I heard you scream
A strawberry avalanche crash over me
Oh, there's a citrus constellation
In the galaxy
Stretched on the back of both my
eyelids
That I've been dying to see
If you were a beautiful sound
In the echoes all around
Then I'd be your harmony
And we'd sing along with the crowds
Beneath the candy coated clouds
A strawberry avalanche, please crash
over me
This is a world of dreams and reverie
Where I felt the stars explode around
me

Owl City : Sunburn Lyrics
So there we were, back home from
somewhere inside my head
Oh, bravely I fought off the monsters
beneath her bed
Pillars of postwar books supported by
frame of mind
While she memorized the pages that I
tried to not hide behind
She took my hand in hers and
whispered her love for me
The lantern died that night but we
didn't need to see
Implying that she's the bee's knees and
I am the cat's meow
It's funny how she recalls what I can't
remember now
But when her smile came back and I
didn't feel half as horrible
She gave me a heart attack just because
she looked so adorable
We both put our sunblock on, played
on the beach and
Vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a
sunburn, I got a sunburn
So there we were out there, unaware of
where we'd been
We kicked off our flip-flops and swung
from the rooftops again
It's awkward but I'll confess she's all I
can think about
And it's funny how I recall what she
can't remember now
But when her smile came back and I
didn't feel half as horrible
She gave me a heart attack just because
she looked so adorable
We both put our sunblock on, played
on the beach and
vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a
sunburn
Oh, afterglow, look out below
We left a trail of dust behind
As we parted ways, she held my gaze
And left an imprint on my mind
I tried not to cry as we said goodbye
And hung the clouds above my town
But I shed a tear when she disappeared
Cause now I'm a stranger on the ground
When her smile came back and I didn't
feel half as horrible
She gave me a heart attack
We both put our sunblock on, played
on the beach and
vowed that we'd live and we'd learn
But she got a tan, and I got a sunburn
She got a tan, and I got a sunburn
Yeah, but she got a tan, and I got a
sunburn
Owl City : Super Honeymoon Lyrics

Glamor and fashion
Models and magazines
A striking runway entrance
Beauty and passion
Stardust and high class scenes
Of popular teens

I still remember
She was like a princess
Straight from a dreamy castle in the air

I am the captain of an oil tanker that When I'm out on the bay
travels through your veins You're aloft in the airway
When the satellites hang all around When I'm alone at night
And I can finally hear the lovely sound I dream you paint the stars against the
When all the engines in the back room twilight
die down Suspended in the air
All the airships move across the sky I wish your silhouette would always
And my equipment just keeps standing stay there
by When I am on the beach
The planets glow, and intensify I watch you held aloft way out of my
reach
I am the pilot of a cargo airplane that But I can not take flight
travels through your veins Or float upon the air the way that you
might
When you are lying half asleep in your When I am in the sea
room You gazed down from the sky, trying to
Unaware if it is midnight, or afternoon see me
Because the water doesn’t flood the But I am just a blur
stairwell Through the waves, as I scuba dive
It could be raining, but then you can below the harbor
never tell
The airway
If you’re alone in this awful downpour You and I in the airway
Then struggle free and paddle out the Aloft in the airway
cellar door In love in the airway
In the evening light, the boulevard I can see
Conceals the night, with disregard You above with the ocean around me
For all the workers in a west coast If I could only stay
shipyard Overhead in the airway
When I rearrange, the silverware You sail through
And re-install the lights, in captain’s Endless sky with the evening around
chair you
I’ll lift the ceiling off to breathe the When I'm out on the bay
ocean air You're aloft in the airway

PARK
If you're the bird whenever we pretend
it's summer
Then I'm the worm, I know the part, it's
such a bummer
But fair is fair, if my segments get
separated
I'll scream and you'll be there
Close your eyes, close my eyes
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder
And feel the shine, feel the shine
I'm hooked so toss me over and cast a
line, oh I'll try
Oh, throw a party and greet my
undersea friends
It depends, as they arrive, if they arrive
You and I left our troubles far behind,
troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question
on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans
and the seas
With friends like these well, who needs
enemies
If I'm your boy, let's take a short cut we
remember
And we'll enjoy, picking apples in late
September
Like we've done for years
Then we'll take a long walk through the
corn field
And I'll kiss you between the ears
If you're my girl, swirl me around your
room with feeling
And as we twirl, the glow in the dark
stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us, as love sweeps over
the room
'Cause we tend to make each other
blush, you make me blush
You and I left our troubles far behind,
troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question
on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans
and the seas
With fronds like these well, who needs
anemones?
You're the bird and I'm the worm and
it's plain to see
That we were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be
If you're the bird
If you're the bird
Then I'm the worm
We were meant to be
Owl City : The Christmas Lyrics
It's Christmas and we walk alone
Two strangers with no one to miss us
On our own
Out in the cold
Trudging onward
Braving a harsh winter storm
You and I met passing by
And now our spirits feel warm
I don't have anyone at home to talk to
And you don't have anything to do
So I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
It's Christmas and we are in love
With the way that the soft snowflakes
kiss us

From far above
The blustery breeze
Trudging onward
Braving a harsh winter storm
You and I met passing by
And now our spirits feel warm
I believe that Jesus is truly the only
way
I celebrate Christmas because it's his
birthday
I don't have anyone at home to talk to
And you don't have anything to do
So I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
I'll spend my Christmas with you
Owl City : The Saltwater Room
Lyrics
I opened my eyes last night and saw
you in the low light
Walking down by the bay on the shore
Staring up at the stars that aren't there
anymore
I was feeling the night grow old and
you were looking so cold
So like an introvert, I drew my over
shirt
Around my arms and began to shiver
violently
Before you happened to look and see
the tunnels all around me
Running into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great
sound
To my motion fatigue, farewell with
your ear to a seashell
You can hear the waves in underwater
caves
As if you actually were inside a
saltwater room
Time together isn't ever quite enough
When you and I are alone, I've never
felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this
hint of love?
Only time, only time
Can you believe that the crew has
gone?
And they wouldn't let me sign on
All my islands have sunk in the deep
And I can hardly relax or even
oversleep
When I feel warm with your hand in
mine
When we walk along the shoreline
I guess we'll never know why sparrows
love the snow
We'll turn out all of the lights and set
this ballroom aglow
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd
fall in love?
Yeah, all the time, all the time
Time together isn't ever quite enough
When you and I are alone, I've never
felt so at home
What will it take to make or break this
hint of love?
Only time, only time
When we're apart what ever are you
thinking of?
If this is what I call home, why does it
feel so alone?
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd
fall in love?
All the time, all the time
Time together isn't ever quite enough
When we're apart what ever are you
thinking of?
What will it take to make or break this
hint of love?
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd
fall in love?
All the time, oh, all the time
Owl City : The Technicolor Phase
Lyrics
I am the red in the rose, the flowers
On the blankets on your bedroom floor.
And I am the gray in the ghost that
hides
With your clothes behind your closet
door.
I am the green in the grass that bends
back
From underneath your feet.
And I am the blue in your back alley
view
Where the horizon and the rooftops
meet.
If you cut me I suppose I would bleed
the colors
Of the evening stars.
You can go anywhere you wish cause
I'll be there,
wherever you are.
(Wherever you are) 2x
(I will always be your keys
When we are lost in the technicolor
phase)
I am the black in the book
The letters on the pages that you
memorize.
And I am the orange in the overcast
Of color that you visualize.
I am the white in the walls that soak up
All the sound when you cannot sleep.
And I am the peach in the starfish on
the beach
That wish the harbor wasn't quite so
deep.
If you cut me I suppose I would bleed
the colors
Of the evening stars. (my darling)
You can go anywhere you wish cause
I'll be there,
wherever you are. (my darling)
(Wherever you are) 3x
Owl City : The Tip Of The Iceberg
Lyrics
Welcome back winter once again
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater
'Cause you'll feel much better when
The snowflakes fall gently to the
ground
The temperature drops and your shivers
Freeze all the rivers around
But I keep you warm
If speed's a pro, inertia must be a con
'Cause the cold wind blows
At precise rates
When I've got my ice skates on
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ lyrics by owl city © OCEAN CITY
PARK
If all the roads were paved with ice
That wouldn't thaw or crack
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska
Then on to Alaska and back
'Cause you keep me warm
Peer over the edge, can you see me?
Rivulets flow from your eyes
Paint runs from your mouth like a
waterfall
And your lungs crystallize
I'll travel the sub-zero tundra
I'll break glaciers and frozen lakes
And that's just the tip of the iceberg
I'll do whatever it takes to change
Farewell powdery paradise
We'd rather skate on the thinnest ice
Fingers failed us before they froze
Frostbite bit down on all our toes
Snow drifts build up and enfold us
As we wait in this winter storm
So we snuggle close in the darkness
And keep each other so warm
Owl City : This Is the Future Lyrics
Wake up on your own
And look around you cuz you’re not
alone
Release your high hopes and they’ll
survive
Cuz this is the future and you are alive
Dive in and swim away
From your loneliness and miserable
days
And when you wake up on your own
Look around you cuz you’re not alone
Let your hopes go and they’ll survive
Cuz this is the future and you are alive
…You’re headed home
Owl City : Tidal Wave Lyrics
I wish I could cross my arms
And cross your mind 'cause I believe
You'd unfold your paper heart
And wear it on your sleeve
All my life I wish I broke mirrors
Instead of promises
'Cause all I see is a shattered
conscience
Staring right back at me
I wish I had covered all my tracks
completely
'Cause I'm so afraid
Is that the light at the far end of the
tunnel
Or just the train?
Lift your arms, only Heaven knows
Where the danger grows and it's safe to
say
There's a bright light up ahead
And help is on the way, help is on the
way
I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me
Depression, please cut to the chase
And cut a long story short
Oh, please be done, how much longer
Can this drama afford to run?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Anne T.

Fate looks sharp, severs all my ties
And breaks whatever doesn't bend
But sadly then, all my heavy hopes
Just pull me back down again
I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
'Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me
Then I was given grace and love
I was blind but now I can see
'Cause I found a new hope from above
And courage swept over me
It hurts just to wake up
Whenever you're wearing thin
Alone on the outside
So tired of looking in
The end is uncertain
And I've never been so afraid
But I don't need a telescope
To see that there's hope
And that makes me feel brave
Owl City : Umbrella Beach Lyrics
Sands and gears, oh, how the daisies
bloom
When chandeliers light up the engine
room
Can you feel the drops as it starts to
rain
There's an underwater Ferris wheel
Where I found the missing link to this
island chain
Home will always be here on sea, out
of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving
goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly
Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of
reach
Hidden under umbrella beach
Home will always be here on sea, out
of sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving
goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly
I'll spread my wings and fly
Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of
reach
Hidden under umbrella beach
Owl City : Vanilla Twilight Lyrics
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here
I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so
alone
I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so
alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here
Owl City : West Coast Friendship
Lyrics
Are you out there
Where the rainy days begin
To feel rather sad
And the walls are closing in
Like the darkness around me
It’s so hard to look away
When the daylight doesn’t ever stay
Above this dull apartment view
Oh, I will surround you
It’s quite clear that I’m stuck here
So I’ll devise a plan
And cut out a door in my new living
room floor
The porch light is so bright
That I will quickly sneak down the dark
metal shape
Of the rusty fire escape
I bought a one way ticket
‘Cause I knew I’d never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane
And we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean
I realized I must be in California
Aloha, my happy West Coast friends
Do you feel alive
When the breaking waves arrive
And wash all around you
The beach homes and ocean side
Are quite well known by the evening
tide
And we can sleep where we reside
With redwoods around us
The blue air is up there
And could I bring it down
I’d bottle it up, and save it for a sweet
summer night
I bought a one way ticket
‘Cause I knew I’d never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane
And we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean
I realized I must be in California
I must be in California
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ lyrics by owl city © OCEAN CITY
PARK
Am I awake or is this just a dream?

The new year is out here

And I will make a lovely list
Of your charms
So I’ll never feel alone in your arms

I must be in California
I must be in California
I must be in California
