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"
