OWL CITY: ON THE WING & 6 MORE




1. I'll Meet You There



If we could sit together a moment
And talk forever just to pass the time
I would smile as the shivers and chills
Run down my spine
When your eyes are locked on mine

Oh, we will fill the metro skies with country air
And when you close your tired eyes I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there

Deep inside of you there's a ruby glow
And it gets brighter then 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

Wander down the street
And I would be the pavement beneath your feet

If we could just be immobile for some time
And finally figure out the way we feel
About the missing puzzle pieces and cloudy question marks
It still looks a bit surreal

Oh I tend to disappear here and there
So concentrate and you'll feel me everywhere
And well feel the metro skies with country air
If you're lost when you close your eyes I'll meet you there

You could be anywhere
I'll meet you there
You could be anywhere
Open your eyes and see everything you can be
I'll meet you there

2. If My Heart Was A House



You're the sky that I fell through
And I remember the view
Whenever I'm holding you
The sun hung from a string
Looking down on the world as it warms over everything
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
We got older and I should've known (Do you feel alive?)
That I'd feel colder when I walk alone (Oh, but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
Bombs away, bombs away

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

It makes me smile because you said it best
I would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west
Flower balm perfume, all my clothes smell like you
Cause your favorite shade is navy blue
I walk slowly when I'm on my own (Do you feel alive?)
Yeah, but frankly I still feel alone (Oh, but you'll survive)
So I may as well ditch my dismay
Bombs away, bombs away

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

If my heart was a house you'd be home

3. Fireflies


[Songwriters: Young, Adam;]

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

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 lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance

A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A 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 tire 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
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
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

4. Rainbow Veins




High rise, veins of the avenue
Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue
Everywhere is balanced there like a rainbow above you
Street lights glisten on the boulevard
And cold nights make staying alert so hard
For heaven's sake, keep me awake so I won't be caught off guard
Clearly I am a passerby but I'll find a place to stay
Dear pacific day, won't you take me away?
Small town hearts of the New Year
Brought down by gravity, crystal clear
City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier
Make haste, I feel your heartbeat
With new taste for speed, out on the street
Find a road to a humble abode where both of our routes meet
The silver sound is all around and the colors fall like snow
The feeling of letting go, I guess we'll never know

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
Cuz your heart has a lack of color and we should've known
That we'd grow up sooner or later cuz we wasted all our free time alone

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
Wide eyed, panic on the getaway
The high tide could take me so far away
VCR's and motorcars unite on the Seventh Day
A popular gauge will measure the rage of the new Post-Modern Age
Cuz somewhere along the line all the decades align

We were the crashing whitecaps
On the ocean
And what lovely seaside holiday, away
A palm tree and Christmas lights
My emotion
Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone
As we spent the day alone

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
Cuz your heart has a lack of color and we should've known
That we'd grow up sooner or later cuz we wasted all our free time alone

5. Early Birdie


Good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you’re gonna take us
Someplace that I have never been
It’s chic transportation to
New destination where
I leave my reflection on the glass
I'd ask but we don’t know
How far these interstates go
Or how deep the city routes go down
In chilly subdepth railways
The weathered concrete stairways
Provide me with the means of getting home
If I ever leave

(On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand while soothing words)

So many sights to see
So wake up like an early birdie
And we’ll get a head start on the day
Oh, stained glass skyways
And crowded six lane highways
If I look back when I begin to leave
Will they remember me?

Circuit flights bend the light when I am spent
And tour guides make happy brides through heaven soon

Good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you’re gonna take us

(On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand
While soothing words)

On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand
While soothing words hover like humming birds

Good, good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you’re gonna take us

6. On The Wing



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



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
'Cause I Would Make A Hook And I
Can Fish Them From The Sky
My Darling, She And I
Were Hanging On, So Take Us High
To Sing The World Goodbye



[Chorus]
I Am Floating Away
Lost In A Silent Ballet
I'm Dreaming You're Out In The Blue
And I Am Right Beside You
Await 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?



[Chorus]
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
(And I Am Right Beside You)
Await 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
(Look Down And Keep On Singing)
And We Can Go Anywhere
(And We Can Go Anywhere)

7. Vanilla Twilight




[Songwriters: Young, Adam;]



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
'Til 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
