Owl City - The Airway

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 above 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 - Panda Bear

I'm moving to Tokyo

Cuz I'm tired of San Francisco

My contracts are finally void

And I am getting out

On houses and building tops

I swallow the beams and sun drops

If my echos can 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

Fill all of the navy yards

With hard working security guards

Cuz the numbers are wearing out

My plastic access card

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

And sing when I inhale

Owl City - Designer Skyline

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

Reworking 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 the soft florescent light

Designer skyline in my head

Abstract and still well-read

You went from numbered lines to buildings overhead

Owl City - Captains And Cruise Ships

I am stuck in L.A. through the week and cant get away

And you're alone on the pier in West Palm Beach on your holiday

Stormy nights, re-awake the stomach ache

That I've acquired, from feeling down

Things look grim and I'm so sick of being tired

Apartment lights go dark and its depressing

But what can I do?

The midnight streets feel dead

When I am so used to driving with you

Brighter lights fill the night

And bluer skys reflect in your eyes

As I inspect and analyze

All of 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 it's worth, darling dear

I wish you were here, 'cause I feel alone

When you were home we'd sing

But since you've left I dont hear anything

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 crashed my beloved desk job

And swim through the debris

I'll cut loose leave this mad house

Bound for the Atlantic blue

I'll stroll down your treelined driveway

And sail the ocean with you

Owl City - Swimming In Miami

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 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 hear the lovely sound
When all the engines of 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 you can never tell


If you're alone in this awful downpour
Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door
In the evening night the boulevard
Conceals the night in disregard
For all the workers in a west coast ship yard
When I rearrange the silverware
And re-install the lights and captain's chair
I'll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air

I am the engineer of forty freight trains 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 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 are the traffic and city lights

Secondhand Serenade - Hear Me Now ft. Juliet Simms

Left everything behind me,

Searching for the strength I thought I had inside me,

Left you behind so lonely,

Praying for the day that you would somehow find me.

I was young

(you were wrong)

But I tried

(I was trying to give that I had lost through all I see)

Hear me now.

All I can say is I am not afraid,

Of the world that I am trying to put you in.

I fight everyday

But I am to blame.

I am not innocent

But I am not afraid.

I lost all the things inside me (inside me)

Still have found myself with all the will to free me from you,

I'm asleep,

I'm happy (I'm happy)

Want to know so much for you to someday see me.

Tell me how,

(I want to)

Sing it loud,

(I need you to be the one who catches all my dreams)

Hear me now.

All I can say is I am not afraid of the world that I am trying to put you in.

I fight everyday

But I am to blame.

I am not innocent

But I am not afraid anymore.

I am not afraid anymore...

I'm tired of sleeping,

Alone I've been grieving.

The life that I gave up to feel alive.

I want to feel alive.

I'm not afraid anymore.

I'm not afraid anymore.

[x4]

I'm not afraid (I want to feel alive)

Anymore (I want to feel alive).

I'm not afraid (I want to feel, I need to feel)

Anymore (I want to feel alive).

I'm not afraid (hold on tight)

Anymore (let's make this right).

I'm not afraid (take me, come with me, feel alive tonight)

Secondhand Serenade - Nightmares

Look away, pray for salvation,

And pray for a sweet conversation.

The problem's not with you.

It's without you.

I love the way that you told me I'm better

The way you described me in letters.

There's nothing I can do,

Is there nothing I can do?

I'll scream just to get your attention.

I have seen what happens to a lonely heart.

And I'll scream just to get your attention.

I have seen the nightmares that tore us apart.

So long, wish that you'd tell me your wrong.

That were not dead and buried,

And save your harsh goodbyes,

Your salty liquid eyes.

And this song, is just another song.

Don't know why I bother.

I can't tell truth from lies.

I can't tell truth from lies.

I'll scream just to get your attention.

I have seen what happens to a lonely heart.

And I'll scream just to get your attention.

I have seen the nightmares that tore us apart.

Your fires burning bright.

It's burning me alive.

No one can save me now.

Your touch was all I had.

It's eating me alive.

No one can save me now.

I'll scream just to get your attention.

I have seen what happens to a lonely heart.

And I'll scream just to get your attention.

I have seen the nightmares that tore us apart.

Your touch was all I had.
