Owl City completes me...

So...I'm always up for some new music. I do have a habit of skipping through a cd until it's my favorite song...and not giving the other songs a chance. However you know you're a great band when I can listen through your entire music collection without my pointer finger never inching near the fast forward button. It's also really encouraging to listen to a band with clean, uplifting lyrics that's mainstream. So... I introduce to you, my "current" favorite band...OWL CITY. What a "whimsy, drive with your windows down and blast this music" kind of band. With the move coming up, I've been stressed out a bunch, but all I have to do is put on "Ocean Eyes"-Owl City's latest cd, and dance like I've never danced before. With them, it's real easy to throw away all the built up stress/frustration. So please, enjoy them as much as I have... I've added the lyrics for one of my favorite songs by them below. http://www.owlcitymusic.com
Fireflies-Owl City

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 fox trot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball that's 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 seems

Pin It!
