Playlist Owl City

owl city - fireflies

You would not believe your eyes
If ten-million fireflies
Lit up the world
As I fell asleep

Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
Youd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

Id 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 try to teach me how to dance

A fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread

Id 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
(Farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
Cause I'd save a few
And I'd keep them in a jar

Id 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)

Id 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 seems

owl city - good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time

Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
Cuz it's always a good time

Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
Cuz it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright we don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time

Feet down dropped my phone in the pool again
Checked out of my room hit the ATM
Let's hang out if you're down to get down tonight
Cuz it's always a good time

Good morning and good night
I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright we don't even have to try
It's always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time

Doesn't matter when
It's always a good time then
Doesn't matter where
It's always a good time there

Doesn't matter when,
It's always a good time then

It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time

Woah-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Woah-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time

owl city - angels

Wake me if you're out there!

Through the glass in my bedroom window
In the bushes far below
I thought I saw an unfamiliar shadow
Among the ones I so clearly know.
I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged
With a note on the rocking chair
That says I'm dreaming of the life I once loved
So wake me if you're out there.

Living close to the ground
It's seventh heaven because there are angels all around
Among my frivolous thoughts
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts.

So wake me if you're out there!
Wake me if you're out there!

In the dust on my cellar staircase
A pair of footprints followed me
I saw a flicker in the fake fireplace
Blinked again, but there was nothing to see.
I've been leaving all the windows unlocked,
With a basket by the oak tree,
'Cause I'll be picking up the acorns that fall off,
If you'll be climbing up to meet me.

Living close to the ground!
It's seventh heaven because there are angels all around
Among my frivolous thoughts
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts.

So wake me if you're out there!

I keep my knees black and blue 'cause they often hit the hardwood floor
(Wake me if you're out there)
And I believe, so I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore
And I've been sleeping with the nightlight unplugged
With a note on the rocking chair that says I'm dreaming of the life I once loved,
So wake me if you're out there.

Living close to the ground!
It's seventh heaven 'cause there are angels all around
Among my frivolous thoughts
I believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronauts!

The indications reveal
(Wake me if you're out there)
That few of us realise life is quite so real
So if you're dying to see
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity!
So if you're dying to see,
I guarantee there are angels around your vicinity.

owl city - on the wing

Breathe and IÂ?ll carry you away into the velvet sky
And weÂ?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
WeÂ?re hanging on so take us high
To sing the world goodbye:

I am floating away
Lost in a silent ballet
IÂ?m dreaming youÂ?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, weÂ?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?

owl city - when can i see you again

Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you
Go see the world 'cause it's all so brand new
Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine
It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny

It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
I gotta know, 'til then,
When can we do this again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When can I see you again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When can we do this again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I gotta know, when can I see you again?
(When can I see you again?)

Joined at the hip, yeah, your sidekick needs you
Life is a trip down the road that leads you
Look all around at all the mountains you haven't climbed
It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny

It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
I gotta know, 'til then,
when can we do this again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When can I see you again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When can we do this again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I gotta know,
When can I see you again?

Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine
It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
So let me know before I wave goodbye

When can I see you again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When can we do this again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When can I see you again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When can we do this again?
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, it's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
Tell me when
When can I see you again?
When can I see you again?
Tell me when
When can I see you again?

owl city - to the sky

Shipwreck in the sea of faces,
There's a dreamy world up there,
Dear friends in higher places,
Carry me away from here,

Travel light let the sun eclipse you,
'Cause your flight is about to leave,
And there's more to this brave adventure,
Than you'd ever believe,

Birdseye view, awake the stars
'Cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
Because after all those wings will take you,
Up so high,
So bid the forest a fond goodbye,
As you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky,
You take to the sky

On the hills of lore and wonder,
There's a stormy world up there,
You can't whisper above the thunder,
But you can fly anywhere,

Purple burst of paper birds this,
Picture paints a thousand words,
So take a breath of mith and mystery,
And don't look back!

Birdseye view, awake the stars
'Cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
Because after all those wings will take you,
Up so high,
So bid the forest a fond goodbye,
As you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky,
You take to the sky

There's a realm above the trees,
Where the lost are finally found,
So touch your feathers to the breeze,
And leave the ground,

Birdseye view, awake the stars
'Cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
Because after all those wings will take you,
Up so high,
So bid the forest a fond goodbye,
As you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky,
You take to the sky

You take to the sky

owl city - dreams don t turn to dust

Splashdown in the silver screen
Into a deep dramatic scene
I swim through the theatre
Or maybe I'm just a dreamer

Like a kite in the bright midday
Wonder stole my breath away
Shy sonata for Mercury
The stars always sing so pretty

This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

Dreams don't turn to dust

I made for the countryside
And my eyes never grew so wide
Apple, raspberry, river blue
I don't wanna leave without you

In the sound I'll gladly drown
Into the emerald underground
And I rub my eyes 'cause it's hard to see
Surrounded by all this beauty

This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
Sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

I'm sad to see you go
But I rather be alone

When tiger eyes begin making you blush

When diamonds boast that they can't be crushed
Let 'em go 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

This picnic will soon depart
Real life, I'm sad to see you go
I'll miss you with all my heart
But I'd rather be alone
'Cause I couldn't live without
The sunsets that dazzle in the dusk
So I'll drag the anchor up
And rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

Dreams don't turn to dust

Dreams don't turn to dust

I'll rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust

owl city - beautiful times

A spark soaring down in the pouring rain
And restoring life to the light house
A slow motion wave and the ocean stirs
My emotion up like a rain cloud

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?

A cab driver turned to skydiver, then to survivor
Die in the breakdown
A blood brother and surrogate mother
Hugging each other, crying their eyes out

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?

I'm ecstatic like a drug addict
Locked in the attic, strong I am spell bound

I fought all through the night
Oh oh, but I made it alive
The sun is starting to rise
Oh oh, these are beautiful times

This fight of my life is so hard
So hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh oh, these are beautiful times

Black feeling burnt through the ceiling
Leaving my healing heart with a new scar
A dead fire rose and rose higher
Like a vampire up from the graveyard

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?

We all suffer but we recover
Just to discover a life where we all are

I fought all through the night
Oh oh, but I made it alive
The sun is starting to rise
Oh oh, these are beautiful times

This fight of my life is so hard
So hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh oh, these are beautiful times

This fight of my life is so hard
So hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh oh, these are beautiful times

My heart's burning bad and it's turning black
But I'm learning how to be stronger
And sincerely, I love you dearly, oh
But I'm clearly destined to wonder

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 - sky diver

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

owl city - alligator sky

Where was I when the rockets came to life?
And carried you away into the Alligator Sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead,
I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go!

Remember to breathe, because it'll take your breath away,
When the engines cough, and you blast off.
Ignite the night with a firecracker flash.
Remember to live, 'cause you're gonna be thrilled to death,
When the stars collide and your eyes grow wide.
Take it in with your breath against the glass.

Remember to dream because it's gonna be a starry night,
Over every town, if you look down.
So harmonize with the singing satellites.
Remember to scream because you're gonna be lost for words,
When the sparks erupt and they light you up.
Dip your toes in the galaxy 'cause it's yours to explore
tonight.

Where was I when the rockets came to life?
And carried you away into the Alligator Sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead,
I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go!

Rollercoaster through the atmosphere,
I'm drowning in this starry serenade,
We're ecstasy because cavalier,
My imagination's taking me away.
Reverie whisper in my ear,
I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid,
Rollercoaster through the atmosphere,
My imagination's taking me away.

Let's hear it for the Universe,
Where it never hurts,
Diving in head-first.
Take a taste of the melting Milky Way.

And remember to laugh 'cause you're living in a crazy world,
Where you'll never guess what could happen next.
Give the outer limits my regards as you float to fly away.

Where was I when the rockets came to life?
And carried you away into the Alligator Sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead,
I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go!

Where was I when the rockets came to life?
And carried you away into the Alligator Sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead,
I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go!

The Alligator Sky,
The Alligator Sky,
The Alligator Sky.

owl city - galaxies

Call back the cap-com,
Tick off the time-bomb,
Let felicity fly!
Armour the airlock,
Blanket the bedrock,
And kiss the planet goodbye!

Dear god, I was terribly lost,
When the galaxies crossed,
And the sun went dark.
Dear god, you're the only north star,
I would follow this far.

Fight back the flight deck,
Bring on the breakneck,
Cue the solar eclipse!
Summit the sunset,
Dubtail the dragnet,
And blow your backbone to bits!

Dear god, I was terribly lost,
When the galaxies crossed,
And the sun went dark.
Dear god, you're the only north star,
I would follow this far.

Oh telescope, keep an eye on my only hope,
Lest I blink and be swept off the narrow road.
Hercules, you've got nothing to say to me,
'cause you're not the blinding light that I need.
For he is the saving grace of the galaxies!
He is the saving grace of the galaxies

Dear god, I was terribly lost,
When the galaxies crossed,
And the sun went dark.
Dear god, you're the only north star,
I would follow this far.

owl city - vanilla twilight

The stars lean down to kiss you,
And I lie awake I 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'll 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,
Till 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 - umbrella beach

Stands 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 [scenery's side?]
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

owl city - home of the blues

Just around the corner there's heartaches
Down the street that losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops
You'll find me at the home of the blues
I walk and cry while my heart beat
Keeps time with the drag of my shoes
The sun don't shine through this window of mine
'cause it's dark at the home of the blues

Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest memories
Memories so sweet that I cry
And dreams that I've had left me feeling so bad
I just wanna give up and lay down and die

So if you just lost your sweetheart
And it seems that there's no good way to choose
Well come along with me, misery loves company
And you're welcome at the home of the blues
'cause just around the corner there's heartaches
Down the street that losers use
If you can wade in through the teardrops
You'll find me at the home of the blues
You'll find me at the home of the blues
You're gonna find me at the home of the blues
