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 historyWhen I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone'Cause I've been dying to leave

Yeah, I'll ride the range and hideAll my loose change in my bedroom'Cause riding a dirt bike downA turnpike always takes its toll on me

I've had just about enough of quote"Diamonds in the rough"Because my backbone is paper thinGet me out of this cavern or I'll cave in

If the bombs go off, the sun will still be shiningBecause we've heard it said thatEvery mushroom cloud has a silver liningThough I'm always undermining too deep to know

Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop'Cause the road tastes like wintergreenThe wind and the rain smell of oil and octaneMixed with stale gasoline

I'll soak up the sound, try to sleep on the wet groundI'll get ten minutes give or take

'Cause I just don't foresee myself getting drowsyWhen cold integrity keeps me wide awake

Get me out of this cavern or I'll cave inGet 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 snapsIt'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe

Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on trackAnd if my intentions stray I'll wrench them awayThen I'll take my leave and I won't even look backI 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 mirrorAnd laugh out loud as I'm beaming from ear to earI'd rather pick flowers instead of fightsAnd rather than flaunt my styleI'd flash you a smile of clean pearly

whites

I've been to the dentist a thousand timesSo I know the drill, I smooth my hairSit back in the chairBut somehow I still get the chills

"Have a seat", he says pleasantlyAs he shakes my hand and practically laughs at me"Open up nice and wide", he says peering inAnd with a smirk he says, "Don't have a fitThis'll just pinch a bit", as he tries not to grin

When hygienists leave on long vacationsThat's when dentists screamAnd lose their patience

Talking only brings the toothaches onBecause I say the stupidest thingsSo if my result goes southI'll swallow my pride with an AspirinAnd shut my mouth

Golf and alcohol don't mixAnd that's why I don't drink and driveBecause good grief, I'd knock out my teethAnd have to kiss my smile goodbye

I've been to the dentist a thousand timesSo I know the drill, I smooth my hairSit back in the chairBut 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

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 eyesIf ten million firefliesLit up the world as I fell asleep

'Cause they'd fill the open airAnd leave teardrops everywhereYou'd think me rudeBut I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns slowlyIt's hard to say that I'd rather stayAwake when I'm asleep'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugsFrom ten thousand lightning bugsAs they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my headA sock hop beneath my bedA disco ball is just hanging by a thread

I'd like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns slowlyIt's hard to say that I'd rather stayAwake when I'm asleep'Cause everything is never as it seemsWhen 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 firefliesI'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyesI got misty eyes as they said farewell

But I'll know where several areIf my dreams get real bizarre'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar

I'd like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns slowlyIt's hard to say that I'd rather stayAwake when I'm asleep'Cause everything is never as it seemsWhen I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believeThat planet Earth turns slowlyIt's hard to say that I'd rather stayAwake when I'm asleep'Cause everything is never as it seemsWhen I fall asleep

I'd like to make myself believeThat planet earth turns slowlyIt's hard to say that I'd rather stayAwake when I'm asleepBecause 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 mountaineerIn the hills and highlandsI fall asleep in hospital parking lotsAnd awake in your mouth

Hello Seattle, I am a mantarayDeep beneath the blue wavesI'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget SoundAnd construct a summer home

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Michelle Anne T. Tayoba

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------lyrics by owl city © OCEAN CITY PARK

Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moonShining down on your faceI will disguise myself as a sleeping pillAnd descend inside of you

Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorseFeeling warm in your sandI sing about the tide and the ocean surfRolling in the evening breeze

Hello Seattle, I am an albatrossOn the docks and your boatsI sail above your inlets and interstatesThrough the rain and open wind

Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouseThrowing beams of bright lightsRed in the morning, blue in the evening sunTaking heed from everyone

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineerIn the hills and highlandsI fall asleep in hospital parking lots

Take me above your lightCarry me through the nightHold me secure in flightSing me to sleep tonight

Take me above your lightCarry me through the nightHold me secure in flightSing me to sleep tonight

Owl City : Hot Air Balloon Lyrics

We wrote a preludeTo our own fairy taleAnd bought a parachuteAt a church rummage sale

And with a mean sewing machineAnd miles of threadWe sewed the day above L.A.In navy and red

We wound a race trackThrough your mom's kitchen chairsAnd fought the shadows backDown your dark basement stairs

I lit a match, then let it catchTo light up the roomAnd then you yelled as we beheldAn old maroon hot air balloon

I'll be out of my mindAnd you'll be out of ideasPretty soonSo let's spendThe afternoon in a cold hot air balloonLeave your jacket behindLean out and touch the treetops over townI can't waitTill we kiss the groundWherever we touch back down

La la la laa laaaa La la la laLa la laa laaaa

We drank the Great LakesLike cold lemonadeAnd both got stomach achesSprawled out in the shade

So bored to death you held your breathAnd I tried not to yawnYou made my frown turn upside downAnd now my worries are gone

I'll be out of my mind

And you'll be out of ideasPretty soonSo let's spendThe afternoon in a cold hot air balloonLeave your jacket behindLean out and touch the treetops over townI can't waitTill we kiss the groundWherever we touch back down

I'll be out of my mindAnd you'll be out of ideasPretty soonSo let's spendThe afternoon in a cold hot air balloonLeave your jacket behindLean out and touch the treetops over townI can't waitTill we kiss the groundWherever we touch back down

Owl City : I'll Meet You There Lyrics

If we could sit together a moment And talk forever just to pass the time I would smile as the shivers and chills Run down my spine And your eyes are locked on mine Oh, we’ll fill the metro skies with country air And when you close your tired eyes I’ll meet you there

I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there

Deep inside of you There’s a ruby glow And it gets brighter Than you and I will ever know There’s a rushing sound That surrounds us When we walk alone And it’s everything we’ve never known

(Wonder down the street and I will be the pavement beneath your feet)

If we could just be immobile for some time And finally figure out the way we feel About the missing puzzle pieces and cloudy question marks That still look a bit surreal Oh, I tend to disappear Here and there So concentrate and you’ll feel me Everywhere And we’ll fill the metro skies with country air If you’re lost when you close your eyes

I’ll meet you there

I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there You could be anywhere I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there You could be anywhere I’ll meet you there I’ll meet you there Open your eyes and see

You could be anywhere Everything you can be I’ll meet you there Open your eyes and see You could be anywhere 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 throughAnd I remember the viewWhenever I'm holding youThe sun hung from a stringLooking down on the world as it warms over everythingChills run down my spineAs our fingers entwineAnd your sighs harmonize with mineUnmistakablyI can still feel your heart beat fast when you dance with meWe 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 dismayBombs away, bombs away

Circle me and the needle moves gracefullyBack and forthIf my heart was a compass you'd be northRisk it all cause I'll catch you if you fallWherever you goIf my heart was a house you'd be home

It makes me smile because you said it bestI would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the westFlower balm perfume, all my clothes smell like youCause your favorite shade is navy blueI 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 dismayBombs away, bombs away

Circle me and the needle moves gracefullyBack and forthIf my heart was a compass you'd be northRisk it all cause I'll catch you if you fallWherever you goIf 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 skyAnd we'll stir the stars aroundAnd watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Michelle Anne T. Tayoba

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------lyrics by owl city © OCEAN CITY PARK

And plummet out of sight and sound

The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hillsWhere I live in the alpine heightsBelow the Northern Lights, I spend my coldest nightsAlone, awake and thinking of the weekend we were in love

Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dullA thousand miles from the tideBut photos on the walls of New York shopping mallsDistract me so I stay inside

I wish the rockets stayed over the promenade'Cause I would make a hook and eyeAnd fish them from the sky, my darling, she and IWe're hanging on so take us high to sing the world goodbye

I am floating away, lost in a silent balletI'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside youAwake to take in the viewLate nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcadesMy darling, we're both on the wingLook 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 balletI'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside youAwake to take in the viewLate nights and early parades, still photos and noisy arcadesMy darling, we're both on the wingLook 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 FranciscoMy contracts are finally voidSHIT!And I am getting outOn houses and building topsI swallow the beams and sundropsIf my echoes could reach your earsThen I could save my callsWhat happens when I'm aboveThe east river when you are in loveWe're staring at all these lightsAnd I am going blind and i don't give a damnFUCK!

Fill all of the navy yardsWith hard working security guards'Cause the numbers are wearing offMy plastic access cardsHow can I begin to sayI feel better off when we stayIn Paris on winter nightsBeneath the snowy veilContent like a panda bearStill breathing the fresh mountain airI'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 questionIt refused to stay as it all turned grey, old William Shakespeare's receding hairPlease 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 questionAnd by the way, I just gotta say thank the Lord I'm not going baldAnd if I may quip, my curls and I are just like heaven 'cause rest assured, they'll be no parting thereBut should my head get bare like Friar Tuck, hard cheese to swallow, it makes me smile 'cause I know just what I'd doYeah if I had more wigs than I knew what to do with I'd open a second hand storeAnd 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 reverieWhere I felt the stars explode around me

A grass blade flashed with a gleamAs it slashed open the moonbeamAnd I stared back breathlesslyAs mountains of fruit tumbled outI barely had the chance to shoutA strawberry avalanche crash over me

Staying awake that night was rather hardDeep in a sleeping bag in your back yard

When we woke up buried aliveBeneath the fruity landslideWe both laughed hystericallyIt could've been just another dreamBut I swear I heard you screamA strawberry avalanche crash over me

Oh, there's a citrus constellationIn the galaxyStretched on the back of both my eyelidsThat I've been dying to see

If you were a beautiful soundIn the echoes all aroundThen I'd be your harmonyAnd we'd sing along with the crowdsBeneath the candy coated cloudsA strawberry avalanche, please crash over me

This is a world of dreams and reverieWhere I felt the stars explode around me

Owl City : Sunburn Lyrics

So there we were, back home from somewhere inside my headOh, bravely I fought off the monsters beneath her bedPillars of postwar books supported by frame of mindWhile she memorized the pages that I tried to not hide behindShe took my hand in hers and whispered her love for meThe lantern died that night but we didn't need to seeImplying that she's the bee's knees and I am the cat's meowIt's funny how she recalls what I can't remember now

But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horribleShe gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorableWe both put our sunblock on, played on the beach andVowed that we'd live and we'd learnYeah, 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 beenWe kicked off our flip-flops and swung from the rooftops againIt's awkward but I'll confess she's all I can think aboutAnd 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 horribleShe gave me a heart attack just because she looked so adorableWe both put our sunblock on, played on the beach andvowed that we'd live and we'd learnYeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn

Oh, afterglow, look out belowWe left a trail of dust behindAs we parted ways, she held my gazeAnd left an imprint on my mindI tried not to cry as we said goodbyeAnd hung the clouds above my townBut I shed a tear when she disappearedCause now I'm a stranger on the ground

When her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horribleShe gave me a heart attackWe both put our sunblock on, played on the beach andvowed that we'd live and we'd learnBut she got a tan, and I got a sunburnShe got a tan, and I got a sunburnYeah, but she got a tan, and I got a sunburn

Owl City : Super Honeymoon Lyrics

[Verse 1] Glamor and fashion Models and magazines A striking runway entrance Beauty and passion Stardust and high class scenes Of popular teens When I lived in Denver I met a millionaire With ribbons in her blond hair I still remember She was like a princess Straight from a dreamy castle in the air

[Chorus]

So lovely She was everything to me

[Verse 2] Both alone in the dark We longed to see the sun Rise over the Bering Strait I was sick of the west When I turned 21 So I moved to the Sunshine State We played golf on the moon And tennis on the sun Like athletes in the afternoon The solar flares burned my arms And made her make-up run On our super-lunar honeymoon

[Verse 3] I was the youngest son of a congressman And everything was my fault She was a gymnast Happily swinging on the uneven bars Tucked in a somersault

[CHORUS 2X]

[Verse 2]

Owl City : Swimming In Miami Lyrics

I’m alone above the atmosphere And no one looking up can find me here ‘Cause I can close my eyes, and disappear When I climb the stairs, to watch the sun Above the station walls, the colors run To fill the swimming pool, when I am done

I am the captain of an oil tanker that travels through your veins

When the satellites hang all around And I can finally hear the lovely sound When all the engines in the back room die down All the airships move across the sky And my equipment just keeps standing by The planets glow, and intensify

I am the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins

When you are lying half asleep in your room Unaware if it is midnight, or afternoon Because the water doesn’t flood the stairwell It could be raining, but then you can never tell

If you’re alone in this awful downpour Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door

In the evening light, the boulevard Conceals the night, with disregard For all the workers in a west coast shipyard When I rearrange, the silverware And re-install the lights, in captain’s chair I’ll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air

I am the engineer of forty freight trains that travel through your veins

When you are lying half asleep in your room

Unaware if it is midnight, or afternoon Because the water doesn’t flood the stairwell It could be raining, but then you can never tell

If you’re awake in this awful downpour

Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door When you are swimming in Miami at night And all around you in the traffic and city lights

Owl City : The Airway Lyrics

When I am fast asleep I dream and see you floating high above me And I awake at dawn Before the rays of morning paint the front lawn From on the bedroom floor I watch you sailing far above the seashore In deep Atlantic skies You float as I look aft to watch the moon rise Above the avenue I search among the clouds, trying to see you But you are just a blur In the sky when you parachute over the harbor

I can see You above with the ocean around me If I could only stay Overhead in the airway You sail through Endless sky with the evening around you When I'm out on the bay You're aloft in the airway

When I'm alone at night I dream you paint the stars against the twilight Suspended in the air I wish your silhouette would always stay there When I am on the beach I watch you held aloft way out of my reach But I can not take flight Or float upon the air the way that you might When I am in the sea You gazed down from the sky, trying to see me But I am just a blur Through the waves, as I scuba dive below the harbor

The airway You and I in the airway Aloft in the airway In love in the airway

I can see You above with the ocean around me If I could only stay Overhead in the airway You sail through Endless sky with the evening around you When I'm out on the bay You're aloft in the airway

Owl City : The Bird And The Worm Lyrics

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Michelle Anne T. Tayoba

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------lyrics by owl city © OCEAN CITY PARK

If you're the bird whenever we pretend it's summerThen I'm the worm, I know the part, it's such a bummerBut fair is fair, if my segments get separatedI'll scream and you'll be there

Close your eyes, close my eyesSlide the cotton off of your shoulderAnd feel the shine, feel the shineI'm hooked so toss me over and cast a line, oh I'll tryOh, throw a party and greet my undersea friendsIt depends, as they arrive, if they arrive

You and I left our troubles far behind, troubles far behindBut I still have just one more question on my mindFor all my pals who live in the oceans and the seasWith friends like these well, who needs enemies

If I'm your boy, let's take a short cut we rememberAnd we'll enjoy, picking apples in late SeptemberLike we've done for yearsThen we'll take a long walk through the corn fieldAnd I'll kiss you between the ears

If you're my girl, swirl me around your room with feelingAnd as we twirl, the glow in the dark stars on your ceilingWill 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 behindBut I still have just one more question on my mindFor all my pals who live in the oceans and the seasWith fronds like these well, who needs anemones?

You're the bird and I'm the worm and it's plain to seeThat we were meant to be

We were meant to beWe were meant to be

If you're the birdIf you're the birdThen I'm the wormWe 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 lightWalking down by the bay on the shoreStaring up at the stars that aren't there anymoreI was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold

So like an introvert, I drew my over shirtAround my arms and began to shiver violentlyBefore you happened to look and see the tunnels all around meRunning into the dark underground

All the subways around create a great soundTo my motion fatigue, farewell with your ear to a seashellYou can hear the waves in underwater cavesAs if you actually were inside a saltwater room

Time together isn't ever quite enoughWhen you and I are alone, I've never felt so at homeWhat 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 onAll my islands have sunk in the deepAnd I can hardly relax or even oversleep

When I feel warm with your hand in mineWhen we walk along the shorelineI guess we'll never know why sparrows love the snowWe'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 enoughWhen you and I are alone, I've never felt so at homeWhat 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 enoughWhen 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 flowersOn the blankets on your bedroom floor.And I am the gray in the ghost that hidesWith your clothes behind your closet door.

I am the green in the grass that bends backFrom underneath your feet.And I am the blue in your back alley viewWhere the horizon and the rooftops meet.

If you cut me I suppose I would bleed the colorsOf 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 keysWhen we are lost in the technicolor phase)

I am the black in the bookThe letters on the pages that you memorize.And I am the orange in the overcastOf color that you visualize.

I am the white in the walls that soak upAll the sound when you cannot sleep.And I am the peach in the starfish on the beachThat wish the harbor wasn't quite so deep.

If you cut me I suppose I would bleed the colorsOf 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 againAnd put on your warm fuzzy sweater'Cause you'll feel much better when

The snowflakes fall gently to the groundThe temperature drops and your shiversFreeze all the rivers aroundBut I keep you warm

If speed's a pro, inertia must be a con'Cause the cold wind blowsAt precise ratesWhen I've got my ice skates on

If all the roads were paved with iceThat wouldn't thaw or crackI could skate from Maine to NebraskaThen on to Alaska and back'Cause you keep me warm

Peer over the edge, can you see me?Rivulets flow from your eyesPaint runs from your mouth like a waterfallAnd your lungs crystallize

I'll travel the sub-zero tundraI'll break glaciers and frozen lakesAnd that's just the tip of the icebergI'll do whatever it takes to change

Farewell powdery paradiseWe'd rather skate on the thinnest iceFingers failed us before they frozeFrostbite bit down on all our toes

Snow drifts build up and enfold usAs we wait in this winter stormSo we snuggle close in the darknessAnd 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 armsAnd cross your mind 'cause I believeYou'd unfold your paper heartAnd wear it on your sleeve

All my life I wish I broke mirrorsInstead of promises'Cause all I see is a shattered conscienceStaring right back at me

I wish I had covered all my tracks completely'Cause I'm so afraidIs that the light at the far end of the tunnelOr just the train?

Lift your arms, only Heaven knowsWhere the danger grows and it's safe to sayThere's a bright light up aheadAnd help is on the way, help is on the way

I forget the last time I felt braveI just recall insecurity'Cause it came down like a tidal waveAnd sorrow swept over me

Depression, please cut to the chaseAnd cut a long story shortOh, please be done, how much longerCan this drama afford to run?

Fate looks sharp, severs all my tiesAnd breaks whatever doesn't bendBut sadly then, all my heavy hopesJust pull me back down again

I forget the last time I felt braveI just recall insecurity'Cause it came down like a tidal waveAnd sorrow swept over me

Then I was given grace and loveI was blind but now I can see'Cause I found a new hope from aboveAnd courage swept over me

It hurts just to wake upWhenever you're wearing thinAlone on the outsideSo tired of looking in

The end is uncertainAnd I've never been so afraidBut I don't need a telescopeTo see that there's hopeAnd that makes me feel brave

Owl City : Umbrella Beach Lyrics

Sands and gears, oh, how the daisies bloomWhen chandeliers light up the engine roomCan you feel the drops as it starts to rainThere's an underwater Ferris wheelWhere I found the missing link to this island chain

Home will always be here on sea, out of sightWhere I disappear and hideI think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbyeSo I'll spread out my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reachHidden under umbrella beach

Home will always be here on sea, out of sightWhere I disappear and hideI think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbyeSo I'll spread out my wings and flyI'll spread my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reachHidden under umbrella beach

Owl City : Vanilla Twilight Lyrics

The stars lean down to kiss youAnd I lie awake and miss youPour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundlyBut I'll miss your arms around meI'd send a postcard to you, dear'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light-blueBut it's not the same without youBecause 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 fingersAre right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways

Though I haven't slept in two days'Cause cold nostalgiaChills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilightI'll sit on the front porch all nightWaist-deep in thought becauseWhen 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 blinkI'll think of you tonightI'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighterAnd heavy wings grow lighterI'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knewBut I swear I won't forget youOh, if my voice could reachBack through the pastI'd whisper in your earOh 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

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
