Owl City - On The Wing

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
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
Cuz 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?

Owl City - Rainbow Veins

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 colour 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 sea-side 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 'cause we wasted all our free time alone

Owl City - Super Honeymoon

Glamour 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 blonde hair
I still remember
She was like a princess straight from a dreamy castle in the air

So lovely...
She was everything to me

Both alone in the dark
We long 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 of the afternoon
The solar flares burned my arms
And made her makeup run
On our super lunar honeymoon

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

Owl City - The Saltwater Room

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 planes that aren't there anymore

I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold

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 is just never 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?

We need time, only time

When we're apart whatever 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

Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn't let me sign on?

All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep

I feel as if I were home, some nights, when we count all the ship lights

I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow

We'll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow

(So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?

All the time)

Time together is just never 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?

We need time, only time

When we're apart whatever 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 is just never quite enough

When we're apart whatever 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

Owl City - Early Birdie

Good evening, shuttle bus! Tell me where you're going to 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 roots go down

In chilly sub-depth railways, the weathered concrete stairways provide me with a means of getting home... if I ever leave

On crystal sand, we sleep hand-in-hand

While soothing words hover like hummingbirds

So many sights to see so wake up like an early birdie

And we'll get a head start on the day

Stained-glass skyways and crowded 6 lane highways

If I look back when I begin to leave, will they remember me?

Circuit flights bend the lights when I am spent

And tour guides make happy brides feel heaven-sent

Owl City - Air Traffic

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 on 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 substitute volunteer from, oh, some other year.

I'm just a show 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 - The Technicolor Phase

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)

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]
