Favorite Owl City lyrics/quotes-All Things Bright and Beautiful

The final Owl City album: All Things Bright and Beautiful

Track #1-The Real World

"With a starry brush, paint the dusk Venetian blue,

because in the evening hush, you’ll never believe the view.
And when the leaves return and their whisperings fill the night,
they’ll freeze and burn where fire and ice collide."

"Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn't want to live there."

Track #2-Deer In The Headlights

"Met a girl with a graceful charm,

But when beauty met the beast he froze.
Got the sense I was not her type
By black eye and bloody nose,
But I guess that's the way it goes."

"Tell me again was it love at first sight

When I walked by and you caught my eye.
Didn't you know love could shine this bright?
If life was a game, you would never play nice.
If love was a beam, you'd be blind in both eyes.
Put your sunglasses on 'cause you're a deer in the headlights."

Track #3-Angels

"I keep my knees black and blue

'Cause they often hit the hard wood floor
(Wake me if you're out there)
And I believe so

I'm not praying to the ceiling anymore"

Track #4-Dreams Don't Turn To Dust

"Splash down in the silver screen

Into a deep dramatic scene
I swim through the theater
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"

Track #5-Honey And The Bee

"But still my heart stops without you

There's something about you 

That makes me feel alive"

"We are honey and the bee

Backyard of butterflies surrounded me
I fell in love with you
Like bees to honey
So let's up
And leave the weeping to the willow tree
And pour our tears in the sea"

"But if I reached for your hand

Would your eyes get wide?"

Track #6-Kamikaze 

"Oh, comet come down

Kamikaze over me
And come alive
My midnight melody

Oh, comet come down"

Track #7-January 28,1986

I think I'm just gonna post a link to this one...

Track #8-Galaxies

"Dear God, I was terribly lost

When the galaxies crossed
And the sun went dark.
But 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 get 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"

Track #9-Hospital Flowers

"I survived

A dreadful accident
In the car crash of the century
My shattered hopes

Collapsed on cold cement"

"I tossed and turned

In sterile apathy
Until the violets
Arrived for me
The bouquet burst
And blossoms filled the room
And the place got smaller as they grew taller

And taught me to bloom"

Track #10-Alligator Sky (Feat. Shawn Chrystopher)

"heh heh Owl City" 

Track #11-The Yacht Club

"My rock candy passion is bittersweet
And armed to the teeth
'Cause she would rather fall in chocolate
Than fall in love 

Especially with me"

Track #12-Plant Life

"I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time,
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus,

If I were to pluck on their heartstrings, would you strum on mine?"

*Bonus Tracks*

Alligator Sky

"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 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."

"Roller coaster through the atmosphere,
I'm drowning in this starry serenade,
Where ecstasy becomes 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."

How I Became The Sea

"And then

When the Empress ran aground
And my eyes turned blue and green
I heard a gorgeous sound
And that's when it became a dream

When the sky fell in
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again

And that's how I became the sea"

Lonely Lullaby

"Symphony of silver tears,

Sing to me and sooth the ring in my ears,
Overcast these gloomy nights wear on,

But I'm holding fast because it's darkest just before the dawn.

I sang my princess fast asleep,
'Cause she was my dream come true,
Oh Annmarie, believe me, I loved you.

But now those lonely lullabies,
Just dampen my tired eyes,
Because I can't forget you."

Shy Violet (Japan Bonus Track)

"She dried my eyes and drifted off

While every tear was held aloft
The heavy rain clouds felt terrible

'Cause she made my stormy sky beautiful"

Favorite Owl City lyrics/quotes-Ocean Eyes

Here's "Ocean Eyes"


Track #1-Cave In
"Please take a long hard look through your textbook
'Cause I'm history"


"Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
'Cause the road tastes like wintergreen"


Track #2-The Bird And The Worm (Nate: 9221)
"Let's take a shortcut we remember
And we'll enjoy
Picking apples in late September like we've done for years
Then we'll take a long walk through the cornfield
And I'll kiss you between the ears"


Track #3-Hello Seattle
"Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taking heed for everyone"


Track #4-Umbrella Beach
"Stands and gears, oh how the daisies bloom
When chandeliers light up the engine roomCan you feel the drops as it starts to rain"


Track #5-The Saltwater Room
"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"


Track #6-Dental Care
"I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights
And rather than flaunt my style
I'd flash you a smile of clean pearly whites"


"When hygienists leave on long vacations
That's when dentists scream and lose their patience"

"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"

Track #7-Meteor Shower

"I am not my own, for I have been made new
Please don't let me go I desperately need You"


Track #8-On The Wing
"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 highTo sing the world goodbye"


Track #9-Fireflies
"Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bedThe disco ball is just hanging by a thread"


"Leave my door open just a crack
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
Why do I tire of counting sheep
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep"


Track #10-The Tip Of The Iceberg 
"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"


Track #11-Vanilla Twilight
"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"


"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'"


Track #12-Tidal Wave
"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 hopeAnd that makes me feel brave"


*Deluxe Songs*


Track #13-Hot Air Balloon
"We wrote a prelude to our own fairy tale.
And bought a parachute at a church rummage sale
And with a mean sewing machine and miles of thread
We sewed the day above L.A. in navy and red.
We round a racetrack through your mom's kitchen chairs
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"


Track #14-Butterfly Wings
"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 awayInto the stormy sea will you remember me?"


"But in the night should the high tides sweep me away from you
Tell me again my dear will you be waiting here?"

Track #15-Rugs From Me To You

"Please excuse the pun, 
'It's hair today, gone tomorrow'
So be thankful For what precious locks you have"


"And if I may quip 
My curls and I
Are just like heaven
'Cause rest assured There'll be no parting there"


Track #16-Sunburn
"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 mindWhile she memorized the pages that I tried to not hide 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 learnBut she got a tan, and I got a sunburn"


Track #17- If My Heart Was A House
"Chills run down my spine as our fingers entwine
And your sighs harmonize with mine
Unmistakably I can still feel your heartBeat fast when you dance with me"


"Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be North
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fallWherever you go, if my heart was a house you'd be home"


Track #18- Strawberry Avalanche 
"This is a world of dreams and reverie
Where I felt the stars explode around me"

Favorite Owl City lyrics/quotes-Maybe I'm Dreaming

My favorite quotes from the Owl City album "Maybe I'm Dreaming".

Track #1- On The Wing

"I spend my coldest nights

Alone, awake and thinking of

The weekend we were in love"

"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"

Track #2- Rainbow Veins

"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"

"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"

"We were the crashing whitecaps

On the ocean

And what a 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"

Track #3- Super Honeymoon

"We played golf on the moon

And tennis on the sun

Like athletes of the afternoon"

Track #4- The Saltwater Room

"Time together isn't ever quite enough

When you and I are alone I've never felt so at home"

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

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

Track #5-Early Birdie

"Stained glass sky-ways and crowded six lane highways

If I look back when I begin to leave

Will they remember me?"

Track #6-Air Traffic

"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"

Track #7-The Technicolor Phase

"I am 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"

"You can go anywhere you wish 'cause I'll be there wherever you are"

Track #8-Sky Diver
"I signed off and closed my eyes

Then I was falling through the sky"

Track #9-Dear Vienna

"There's a light show out my window somewhere way up there"

"I was so far out of place

Watching those stars in outer space

'Cause I am so far from where you are"

Track #10-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"

"You could be anywhere

I'll meet you there"

Track #11-This Is The Future

"Dive in and swim away 

From your loneliness and miserable days"

"And when you wake up on your own

Look around you 'cause you're not alone

Let your hopes go and they'll survive

'Cause this is the future and you are alive"

Track #12-West Coast Friendship

"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"

Favorite Owl City lyrics/quotes-Of June

So begins a 5 or more part series. I'm pretty sure this is self explanatory. 

Of June~

Track #1- Swimming in Miami

"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"

Track #2- Captains and Cruise Ships

"Apartment lights go dark and it's depressing
But what can I do?

The midnight streets feel dead

When I am so used to driving with you"

"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"

"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 don't hear anything

Though I feel so sad

I can't believe things are really that bad"

Track #3- Designer Skyline

"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 over head"

Track #4- Panda Bear

"What happens when I'm above

The east river and you are in love

We're staring at all these lights

And I am going blind"

Track #5- 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"

"I can see 

You above with the ocean around me

If I could stay

Over head 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"

Track #6- Fuzzy Blue Lights

"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 in 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"

Track #7- Hello Seattle

"Take me above your light

Carry me through the night

Hold me secure in flight

Sing me to sleep tonight"

And this is how it's going to continue for the next *counts* four posts.
