Owl City

Please take a long hard look through your text book
'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 dirtbike 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 trying 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 of I'll cave in
Get me out of this cavern of 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

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 all the oceans and the seas
With friends like these well, who needs enemies?

Da dat dah da da da da da da dat dah

If I`m your boy
let`s take a short cut we remember
And we`ll enjoy
pickin` 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 all the oceans and the seas
With fronds like these well, who needs anenomes?

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

Da dat dah da da da da da da dat dah

If you`re the bird
If you`re the bird
Then I`m the worm
We were meant to be

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer In the hills and highlands I fall asleep in hospital parking lots And awake in your house Hello Seattle, I am a manteray Deep beneathe the blue waves I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound And construct a summer home Hello Seattle, I am the cresant moon Shining down on your face I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill And descend inside of you Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse Feeling warm in your sand I sing about the tide and the ocean surf Rolling in the evening breeze Hello Seattle, I am an albatross on the docks and your boats I sail above your inlets and interstates Through the rain and open wind Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse Throwing beams of bright lights Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun Taken heed from everyone Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer In the hills and highlands I fall asleep in hospital parking lots Take me above your light Carry me through the night Hold me secure in flight Sing me to sleep tonight Take me above you light (Hello Seattle I am) Carry me through the night (a mountaineer, In the hills) Hold me secure in flight (and highlands I fall asleep in hospital) Sing me to sleep tonight (parking lots and awake)

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, unseen, outta 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, unseen, outta 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

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light

어제저녁 눈을 떳을때 나는 어두운 빛아래있는 너를 봤다


Walking down by the bay, on the shore,

해안을 걸으며,

staring up at the planes that aren’t there anymore

더이상 있지않는 비행기를 보면서
I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold

나는 저녁이 깊어지고 너가 차가워지는것을 느꼇다
Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt

내향적인사람처럼, 나는 윗옷을 입었다
Around my arms and began to shiver violently before

나의 팔주변은 심하게 떨렷고
You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me

너가 나의 이런모습을 보고 또 내주변에있는 터널을 보았겟지.
Running into the dark underground

어둠속 지하로 달려가면서


All the subways around create a great sound

모든 전철들은 엄청난 소리를 내었다
To my motion fatigue: farewell

나의 몸에 누젹되어있던 피곤에게 말하였다: 안녕
With your ear to a seashell

너의 귀를 바다조개에 가져다대면
You can hear the waves in underwater caves

너는 바다속 동굴 소리를 들을수있을것이다.

As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

너가 진짜로 바닷물방안에 있었기때문에

Time together is just never quite enough

같이 보냇던 시간은 절때 조용하지못햇지.

When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home

너와 내가 혼자였을때, 나는 집에있다는 느낌을 받지못했어.
What will it take to make or break this hint of love

무엇이 이 사랑의 암시를 만들거나 없애버릴수있을까
We need time, only time

우리는 오직 시간만이 필요해

When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?

너가 생각하는것처럼 우리가 해어진다면?
If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?

만약 이것이 내가말하는 집이라면, 왜 이렇게 외로운걸까?
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?

나의 사랑, 나한테 말해줘, 당신은 우리가 사랑에빠지는것을 원해?
All the time, All the time...

언제나, 언제나....

Can you believe that the crew has gone and

배의 한일원이 가버리고

wouldn’t let me sign on?

나를 꼼짝못하게한다는 것을 믿을수있겟어?
All my islands have sunk in the deep,

나의 모든 섬은 바다속으로 침몰해버렷어,

so I can hardly relax or even oversleep

그래서 나는 전혀 편히쉴소없고 잘수없어.
I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights

나는 배의빛 갯수를 샐때면 내가 마치 집에온것같은 기분이 들어
I guess I’ll never know why sparrows love the snow
We’ll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow

우리는 모든불을 끌것이고, 이 무도실을 빛나게 만들거야.

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 whites

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 with a smirk he says
"Don't have a fit this wil just pinch a bit"
As he tries not to grin

When hygienist leave on long vacations
That's when denstists scream and lose their patients

Talking only brings the tooth aches on
Because I say the stupidest things
So if my resolve 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

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

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
(The weekend we were in love)
Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide
Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls
Distract me so I stay inside
I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade 'cuz I would make a hook
And I fish them from the sky
My darling she and I were 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)
(Are you there)
(Are you there)
Are you there
(Are you there)
(Are you there)
(Are you there)
Or are you just a decoy dream in my head
Am I home or am I simply tumbling out alone
I am floating away
(Floating away)
Lost in a silent ballet
(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
(Early parades)
Still photos and noisy arcades
(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)
(Are you there)
(Are you there)
Are you there
(Are you there)
(Are you there)
(Are you there)

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
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 lightening bugs
As they tried to teach me
how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
The 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 trie 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
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

Welcome back, Winter once again,
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater,
Cuz 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,
Cuz the cold wind blows at precise rates,
When I've got my ice skates on

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,
Cuz 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 crystalize

I'll travel the sub-zero tundra,
I'll brave 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 finished ice,
Fingers failed us before they froze,
Frostbite bit down on all our toes

Snow drifts build up and enfold us,
As we wait out this winter storm,
So we snuggle close in the darkness,
And keep each other so warm

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
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

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, Help is on the way, 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?
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
(Back down again, back down again, 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

This is a world of dreams and revery
Where I felt the stars explode around me
A grass blade flashed with a gleam
as it slashed open a 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
Scratched 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 revery
Where I felt the stars explode around me

We load a prelude
to our own fairytale.
And bought a parachute
at a church rummage sale
And with a mean sewing machine and miles of thread
We sewed the day above la
in navy and red.
We round a racetrack
to your moms kitchen stairs
And fought the shadows back
down your dark basement stairs.
I lit a match and let it catch
to light up the room.
And then you yelled as we beheld
an old maroon.
Hot air balloon
I`ll be out of my mind
and you`ll be out of ideas pretty soon.
So lets spend
the afternoon in a cold hot air balloon.
Leave your jacket behind.
We now can touch the tree tops over town.
I can`t wait
to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down.
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
We drank the great lakes
like cold lemonade.
And both got stomach aches
sprawled out in the shade.
So bored to death you held your breath
and I tried not to yawn.
You make my frown turn upside down
and now my worries are gone.
I`ll be out of mind
and you`ll be out of ideas pretty soon.

If i was a raindrop
You'd be my thunderstorm
Its cold so surround me
With rain clouds to keep me warm
I feel like im falling
So darling don't let me go
The thought is appalling but should I slip away
Into the stormy see will you remember me

Asleep in a warm cacoon
We dream of lovely things
Were 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
We'll make a sound while your dosing off
But in the night shift the hide 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 smilie as im gazing down
Cause I've always wonder why we won't need feathers to fly

Toupee or not toupee
That is the question
It refused to stay as it all turned grey;
William Shakespeare's receding hair
Please excuse the pun,
'It's hair today, gone tomorrow'
So be thankful
For what precious locks you have
Toupee 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
There'll be no parting there
But should my head get bare like Friar Tuck
(Our chase 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 secondhand store
And if you ever went bald
You'd recall it
'Cause I'd cleverly call it
'Rugs From Me To You'

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 flipflops 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
