Owl City

“When diamonds boast that they can't be crushed, let 'em go, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust.”

“I'm a guy who likes cake. I'm just throwing it out to you guys, I eat lots of cake. And when people take my cake away, it makes me mad. It makes me mad!”

“With a starry brush, paint the dusk Venetian blue”

“We don't even have to try, it's always a good time”

“If we dissolve without a trace, will the real world even care?”

“I saw the autumn leaves peel up of the street, Take wing on the balmy breeze and sweep you off your feet”

“And when the leaves return, and their whisperings fill the night, they'll freeze and burn, where fire and ice collide”

“My rock candy passion is bittersweetAnd armed to the teethCuz she would rather fall in chocolateThan fall in love.. Especially with me!”

“If I look back when I begin to leave, will they remember me?”

“You would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep. 'Cause they'd fill the open air and leave teardrops everywhere. You'd think me rude but I would just stand and stare.”

“Where was I when the rockets came to life, and carried you away into the alligator sky.?”

“Boy I need a hug (boy I need a hug) 'Cause my heart stops without you There's something about you”

“There's a realm above the treesWhere the lost are finally foundTouch your feathers to the breezeAnd leave the ground.”

“Birds-eye view Awake the stars 'cause they're all around youWide eyes will always brighten the blueChase your dreams And remember me, sweet bravery'Cause after all those wings will take you up so highSo bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the windAnd take to the sky”

“Your spirit is sweet So pull off your sheetAnd give me a ghost of a smileShow me your teeth'Cause you're teddy beneathSo just grin and bear it a while.”

“I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forestThe trees keep the tempo and they sway in timeQuartet of crickets chime in for the chorusIf I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?”

“I've been longing for,Daisies to push through the floor,And I wish that plant life would grow all around me,So I won't feel dead anymore.”

“Dizzy love turned a star lily pink,And hung above our lids too flushed to blink,But icy blue froze the fairytale cold,Though I treasured you and you sparkled with someone to hold.”

“I'll dissolve when the rain pours in,When the nightmares take me,I will scream with the howling wind,'Cause it's a bitter world and I'd rather dream.”

“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.Because I can't forget you.”

“When the sky fell inWhen the hurricanes came for meI could finally crash againAnd that's how I became the sea.”

“Roller coaster through the atmosphereI'm drowning in this starry serenadeWhere ecstasy becomes cavalierMy imagination's taking me away.Reverie whispered in my earI'm scared to death that I'll never be afraidRoller coaster through the atmosphereMy imagination's taking me away.”

“Where was I when the rockets came to lifeAnd carried you away into the alligator skyEven though, I'll never know what's up aheadI'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go!”

“The curtains decayedThe daylight poured inI was never afraidOf the darkness againMy burns were third-degreeBut I'd been set free'Cause grace had finally found its wayTo me”

“A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sightTo meAnd now my vision can render the sceneA blurry image of wreckage and roadside debrisHappiness returned to meThrough a grave emergency”

“I survivedA dreadful accidentIn the car crash of the centuryMy shattered hopesCollapsed on cold cementBut in the back of the ambulanceI'd never felt so content.”

“Oh telescope,Keep your 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!”

“Dear God, I was terribly lostWhen the galaxies crossedAnd the sun went dark.Dear God, you're the only North StarI would follow this far.”

“My captain on the snowy horseHe's coming back to take me home(He's coming back to take me home) He'll find me fighting back the terrible thwarts'Cause I'm not afraid to die alone!”

“This picnic will soon departReal life, I'm sad to see you goI'll miss you with all my heartBut I'd rather be alone'Cause I couldn't live withoutSunsets that dazzle in the duskSo I'll drag the anchor upAnd rest assured, 'cause dreams don't turn to dust.”

“Living close to the groundIs seventh Heaven 'cause there are angels all aroundAmong my frivolous thoughtsI believe there are beautiful things seen by the astronautsWake me if you're out there.”

“Tell me again was it love at first sightWhen I walked by and you caught my eyeDidn't you know love could shine this bright?Well, smile because you're the deer in the headlights.”

“From the green belt balcony, the wildfires look so prettyPonderosa canopy, I’d never leave if it were up to meTo the ruby redwood tree, and to the velvet climbing ivy painted all mahogany I’d never leave if it were up to me”

“Downy feathers kiss your face and flutter everywhere.Reality is a lovely place but I wouldn’t want to live there.”

“All this holiday cheerHeaven knows where it goesBut it returns every yearAnd though this winter does nothing but stormThe joy in my heart is ablaze and it's keeping me warm!”

“This peppermint winter is so sugar sweetI don't need to taste to believeWhat's December without Christmas Eve.”

“I rip off the wrapping and tear through the boxTill I end up with 45 new pairs of socks.”

“The snowflakes start falling and I start to floatTill my mean older brother stuffs snow down my coat”

“I twirl through the driveway with angelic graceTill I slip on the sidewalk and fall on my face”

“I was never in love with someone elseI never had somebody waiting on me'Cause you were all of my dreams come trueAnd I just wish you knew Taylor, I was so in love with you.”

“This night is sparkling, don't you let it goI'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way homeI'll spend forever wondering if you knewI was enchanted to meet you too.”

“It makes me smile because you said it bestI would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west.”

“Circle me and the needle moves gracefullyBack and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be NorthRisk it all cause I'll catch you if you fallWherever you go, if my heart was a house you'd be home.”

“Chills run down my spine as our fingers intwineAnd your sighs harmonize with mineUnmistakably I can still feel your heartBeat fast when you dance with me.”

“Whenever we leave the groundAnd take to the skyI'll smile as I'm gazing downCause I've always wonder why we won't need feathers to fly.”

“You make my frown turn upside down and now my worries are gone.”

“I'll be out of my mindand you'll be out of ideas pretty soon.So let's spend the afternoonin a cold hot air balloon.Leave your jacket behind.Lean out and touch the tree tops over town.I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down.”

“The end is uncertain and I've never been so afraidBut I don't need a telescope to see that there's hopeAnd that makes me feel brave.”

“I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurityCause it came down like a tidal wave, and sorrow swept over meThen I was given grace and love, I was blind but now I can seeCause I found a new hope from above, and courage swept over me”

“I wish I had covered all my tracks completely cause I'm so afraidIs that the light at the far end of the tunnel or just the train?”
