Owl City-Alligator Sky

Alligator Sky lyrics

[Chorus]

Where was I when the rockets came to life

And carried you away into the alligator sky

Even though, I'll never know what's up ahead

I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

[Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 1]

Uh uh, that's not a plane, that's me

I'm sittin' where I'm supposed to

Floatin' on the cloud, can't nobody come close to

The concrete and the sky switch places

So now my ceiling is painted with cosmic spaces

Firecracker to the moon, keep your eyes shut

Blastin' off like a rocket from the ground up

Heh, I used to catch a cab on the Monday

Now the taxi's sellin' lights on the runway, fly

Condo on the milky way

A house on the cloud and God's my landlord

And for my rent all I pay is my drive

Got that so If you need me you can find me in the alligator sky

[Chorus]

Where was I when the rockets came to life

And carried you away into the alligator sky

Even though I'll never know what's up ahead

I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

[Bridge]

Roller coaster through the atmosphere

I'm drowning in this starry serenade

[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/o/owl-city-lyrics/alligator-sky-lyrics.html]

Where ecstasy becomes cavalier

My imagination's taking me away

Reverie whispered in my ear

I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid

Roller coaster through the atmosphere

My imagination's taking me away

[Shawn Chrystopher - Rap Verse 2]

Uh, now I'mma dance like I never dance

Sing like I never sing, dream like I've never dreamed

Or try to, 'cause we've been lied to

That the sun is somethin' that we can't fly to

Well, I sit on my star and see street lights

Look up, ha, you'll miss me if you blink twice

Imagination is hot and if you got it you can meet me

When you see me in the alligator sky

[Chorus]

Where was I when the rockets came to life

And carried you away into the alligator sky?

Even though I'll never know what's up ahead

I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

Where was I when the rockets came to life

And carried you away into the alligator sky?

Even though I'll never know what's up ahead

I'm never lettin' go, I'm never lettin' go

In the alligator sky...

Owl City-To the Sky

Dada, dada, dadadadadadada
Dada, dada, dadadadadadada

Shipwreck in the sea of faces,
There's a dreamy world up there,
Dear friends in higher places,
Carry me away from here,
Travel light let the sun eclipse you,
'Cause your flight is about to leave,
And there's more to this brave adventure,
Than you'd ever believe,

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
'cause after all those wings will take you, up so high,
So bid the forest floor goodbye, as you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky... you take to the sky

Dada, dada, dadadadadadada
Dada, dada, dadadadadadada

On the hills of lore and wonder,
There's a stormy world up there,
You can't whisper above the thunder,
But you can fly anywhere,
Purple burst of paper birds this,
Owl City To The Sky lyrics found on http://www.directlyrics.com/owl-city-to-the-sky-lyrics.html

Picture paints a thousand words,
So take a breath of mist and mystery,
And don't look back!

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
'cause after all those wings will take you, up so high,
So bid the forest floor goodbye, as you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky... (you take to the sky)

There's a realm above the trees,
Where the lost are finally found,
Touch your feathers to the breeze,
And leave the ground,

Birdseye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you,
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue,
Chase your dreams, and remember me, speak bravery,
'cause after all those wings will take you, up so high,
So bid the forest floor goodbye, as you brace the wind and,
Take to the sky... you take to the sky...(you take to the sky)

Owl City-Fireflies

You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they 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 get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they try 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 (thread, 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 good-byes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell (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(jar, jar, 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

Owl City-Umbrella Beach

Stems and gears, oh how the daisies bloom
When chandeliers light up the engine room
Can you feel the drops as it starts to rain
There's an underwater Ferris wheel where I found the missing link to this island chain

Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

Home will always be here, unseen, outta sight
Where I disappear and hide
I think dreamy things as I'm waving goodbye
So I'll spread out my wings and fly

I'll spread my wings and fly

Home is a boxcar and it's so far out of reach
Hidden under umbrella beach

Owl City-Vanilla Twilight

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
Till 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 (x2)

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
