Owl City - Meteor Shower

I can finally see,
That you're right there beside me,
I am not my own,
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go,
I desperately need you

I am not my own,
For I have been made new
Please don't let me go,
I desperately need you

Owl City - Cave In

Please take a long hard look through your text book
‘Cause I’m history
When I strap my helmet on I’ll be long gone
‘Cause I’ve been dying to leave
Yeah, I’ll ride the range and hide all my loose change
In my bedroom
‘Cause riding a dirtbike down a turnpike
Always takes its toll on me

I’ve had just about enough
Of quote, \”diamonds in the rough\”
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern
Or I’ll cave in

If the bombs go off
The sun will still be shining
Because we’ve heard it said that every mushroom cloud
Has a silver lining
(though I’m always undermining too deep to know)
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
‘Cause the road tastes like wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
Mixed with stale gasoline
I’ll soak up the sound trying to sleep on the wet ground
I’ll get ten minutes give-or-take
‘Cause I just don’t forsee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake

Get me out of this cavern
Or I’ll cave in

I’ll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in
‘Cause if my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps
It’ll make a mess like you wouldn’t believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track
And if my intentions stray I’ll wrench them away
Then I’ll take my leave and I won’t even look back

I won’t even look back

Owl City - 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 in Christmas lights
My emotion
Struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone
As we spent the day alone
