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 high
To 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 bed
The 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 hope
And 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 away
Into 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 mind
While 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 learn
But 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 heart
Beat 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 fall
Wherever 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"
