Beautiful Times lyrics - Owl City (feat. Lindsey Stirling)

A spark soaring down through the pouring rain
And restoring life to the lighthouse
A slow motion wave on the ocean
Stirs my emotion up like a rain cloud

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?

A cab driver turned to skydiver
Then to survivor,
Dying to breakdown
A blood brother, surrogate mother
Hugging each other, crying their eyes out

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?

I'm ecstatic like a drug addict
Locked in the attic
Strung out and spellbound

I fought all through the night
Oh, oh, but I made it alive
The sun's starting to rise
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times

A bad feeling burned through the ceiling
Leaving my healing heart with a new scar
A dead fire rose and rose higher
Like a vampire, up from the graveyard

When did the sky turn black?
And when will the light come back?

We all suffer but we recover
Just to discover life where we all are

I fought all through the night
Oh, oh, but I made it alive
The sun's starting to rise
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times
This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times

This fight of my life is so hard, so hard, so hard
But I'm gonna survive
Oh, oh, these are beautiful times

My heart's burning bad
And it's turning black
But I'm learning how to be stronger
And sincerely, I love you dearly
Oh, but I'm clearly destined to wander

Up All Night lyrics - Owl City

I fell in love with a ghost
Out, under the moonlight
You took my hand and held me close
For once I was alright

I cried and the tears fell from my eyes
Like a waterfall
And I swear I could feel you in my arms
But there was no one there at all

You were my clarity, I swear
All alone in a daydream
Yeah there was magic in the air
And you were right here beside me
Held down like an angel with no wings
I wanna fly again
I just can't get you off my mind
And now I'm gonna be up all night
Whoa oh oh oh

It's tearing me up inside
I just can't get you off my mind

I tossed and turned in the end
With no one to talk to
I searched again and again
But I never found you

I cried and the tears fell from my eyes
Like a waterfall
And I swear I could feel you in my arms
But there was no one there at all

You were my clarity, I swear
All alone in a daydream
Yeah there was magic in the air
And you were right here beside me
Held down like an angel with no wings
I wanna fly again
I just can't get you off my mind
And now I'm gonna be up all night
Whoa oh oh oh

I'm gonna be up all night, whoa oh oh oh
I'm gonna be up all night
I don't wanna say goodbye
Its tearing me up inside
I just can't get you off my mind
And now I'm gonna be up all night

Whoa oh oh oh
I'm gonna be up all night, whoa oh oh oh
I'm gonna be up all night
I don't wanna say goodbye
Its tearing me up inside
I just can't get you off my mind

You were my clarity, I swear
All alone in a daydream
Yeah there was magic in the air
And you were right here beside me
Held down like an angel with no wings
I wanna fly again
I just can't get you off my mind
And now I'm gonna be up all night

(Gonna be up all night)
(And now I'm gonna be up all night)

A whisper on the air
Made my heart rate fall
When I heard you call
And I swear, I could hear your voice in my ear
But there was no one there at all

This Isn't The End lyrics - Owl City

An eight year old girl had a panic attack
'Cause the father she loved left and never looked back
No longer the hero she counted on
He told her he loved her and then he was gone

She tried to look happy in front of her friends
But knew that she'd never feel normal again
She fought back the tears as they filled her eyes
And wanted him back just to tell him goodbye

When the rain falls down
When it all turns around
When the light goes out
This isn't the end

Her dad was a good guy that everyone liked
But nobody knew he was dying inside
He promised his family he'd be alright
And then with a gunshot he left them behind

When the rain falls down
When it all turns around
When the light goes out
This isn't the end

When the rain falls down
When it all turns around
When the light goes out
This isn't the end, no.

The role of a father he never deserved
He abandoned his daughter and never returned
And over the years though the pain was real
She finally forgave him and started to heal

How close is the ending, well, nobody knows
The future's a mystery and anything goes
Love is confusing and life is hard
You fight to survive 'cause you made it this far

It's all too astounding to comprehend
It's just the beginning this isn't the end
It's just the beginning this isn't the end

Wolf Bite lyrics - Owl City

It's another bad dream
Poison in my blood stream
I'm dying but I can't scream
Will you show me the way?

It's another wolf bite
Howlin' in the moonlight
I wanna get my life right!
Will you show me the way?
Tonight

Will you be there?
Toni-i-ight, toni-i-ight, i-ight
Ohwoho

[Chorus:]
If the darkness falls, and my angel calls
In my despair
Will you be there?
In the darkest night
When I need your light
Will you show me the way?
If my time runs out
And the sky falls down
Despite my fear
Will you appear?
If the world goes blind
And I lose my mind
Will you show me the way?
Tonight

Will you show me the way, tonight?
Will you show me the way, tonight?

It's another nightmare
I swear there's something out there
So save me cause I'm so scared
Will you show me the way?

It's another werewolf
All dressed up in sheep's wool
And changing when the moon's full
Will you show me the way?

[Chorus x2:]
If the darkness falls, and my angel calls
In my despair
Will you be there?
In the darkest night
When I need your light
Will you show me the way?
If my time runs out
And the sky falls down
Despite my fear
Will you appear?
If the world goes blind
And I lose my mind
Will you show me the way?
Tonight

In my despair
Will you be there?
Tonight

99 Red Balloons lyrics - Owl City

(originally by Nena)

You and I in a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Something's out there"
Floating in a summer sky
99 red balloons go by

99 dreams I have had
In every one a red balloon
It's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In the dust there was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
Here it is, a red balloon
I think of you and let it go

Alive lyrics - Owl City (feat. Schiller)

It gets cold the moment you close your eyes and so terribly dark.
It gets cold the moment I feel your pulse with no blood in your heart.

Dream when you drift of tonight and followed me home.

It gets cold the moment you see the light with no love in your heart.
Ohohoh everynight I can feel you.
Ohohoh when I'm lost and alone
Ohohoh everynight I can feel you.
Ohohoh, everynight.

Lift your voice and sing to the deep sky, hold me close and don't let me go
Spread your tiny wings cuz you're flying high
Ohohoh I swear you make me feel alive

You make me feel alive

It gets real the moment you lose your grip and life tears you apart.
It gets real the moment you see the light with no love in your heart.

Dream when you drift of tonight and followed me home.

Ohohoh everynight I can feel you,
Ohohoh when I'm lost and alone
Ohohoh everynight I can feel you
Ohohoh everynight

Lift your voice and sing to the deep sky, hold me close and don't let me go, spread your tiny wings cos you're flying high
Ohohoh I swear you make me feel alive.

You make me feel alive

(you make me feel alive)

Ohohoh everynight I can feel you,
Ohohoh when I'm lost and alone.
Ohohoh everynight I can feel you,
Ohohoh everynight..

Lift your voice and sing to the deep sky, hold me close and don't let me go, spread your tiny wings cos you're flying high

Ohohoh I swear you make me feel alive [x3]

You make me feel alive [x2]

Clap Your Hands lyrics - Owl City

(from "Everybody's Golf" soundtrack)

I woke up with the sun today
Rolled out of bed and said
"I'm gonna have some fun today"
And that's just what I did

The birds were singing, "Come outside"
I felt giddy like a kid
If life is like a swimming pool
You know I'm jumping in

We've got the perfect summer day
So put me in your plans
You know that
This doesn't happen every day
So everybody, clap your hands

Cause when we
Raise 'em high, every hand in the sky
We're the super fans
Feeling great in the grandstands
Shout it out, make some noise, make it loud
Soaking up the lovely weather
Everything just comes together

I woke up feeling good today
My journey has begun
I gotta give a shout-out to
The green grass and the sun

It's a long way off, a tricky shot
But I know it can be done
Another day, another game
Another hole in one
Yeah!

We've got the perfect summer day
So put me in your plans
You know that
This doesn't happen every day
So everybody, clap your hands

Cause when we
Raise 'em high, every hand in the sky
We're the super fans
Feeling great in the grandstands
Shout it out, make some noise, make it loud
Soaking up the lovely weather
Everything just comes together

Lift 'em up, all our hands, all at once
We're the super fans
Feeling great in the grandstands
Keep 'em there, all our hands, in the air
We're wishing it could last forever
Baby, put your hands together

The weather's just so fine
Wish I could bottle time
'Cause if you only pause
You'll hear the crowd applaud
They're cheering for you now
Stand up and take a bow
You know that you deserve it
Today is picture perfect

Raise 'em high, every hand in the sky
We're the super fans
Feeling great in the grandstands
Shout it out, make some noise, make it loud
Soaking up the lovely weather
Everything just comes together

Clap our hands! Clap our hands! Clap our hands!
We're the super fans
Feeling great in the grandstands
Clap our hands! Clap our hands! Clap our hands!
We're wishing it could last forever
Baby, put your hands together

That's why we clap our hands
That's why we clap our hands

Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing lyrics - Owl City

Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I come
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wondering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let thy goodness like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee

Cause prone to wander Lord I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, o take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above

Unto you, I pledge my love

Goodbye lyrics - Owl City

(originally by Who Is Fancy)

I was a hot mess
In my Sunday best
Black tears in my eyes
You were my first love
You were my only one
I can't believe your lies

Once we were like bottle rockets
Now I know I have to stop it

Please believe me
This isn't easy
I just need to say goodbye

Goodbye [2x]
Losin' my mind
Goodbye

You got a new friend
You like to play pretend
I'm just keepin' my cool
Turn on the smoke machine
Magic and make believe
She'll never know you like I do

Once we were a fire burnin'
Now you're just a lesson I'm learning

Please believe me
This isn't easy
I just need to say goodbye

Goodbye [2x]
Losin' my mind
Goodbye

I know that I can find somebody
You won't ever find nobody else like me
[4x]

Once we were like bottle rockets
Now I know I have to stop it

Please believe me
This isn't easy
I just need to say goodbye

Goodbye [2x]
Losin' my mind
Goodbye

I gotta say goodbye
This isn't easy
I gotta say goodbye

Humbug lyrics - Owl City

That moment the first few flakes start falling
Is the moment before I burst into tears
'Cause snow in the air means Christmas shopping
And the thought of it all just stresses me out
Wo-oh-oe is me
Wo-oh-oe is me

Would she kinda like this canary yellow?
Or does she already own way too many scarves?
I could get her a backpack and something to carry
This is way too much pressure, it's breaking my heart
Wo-oh-oe is me
Wo-oh-oe is me

I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I haven't found it yet
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
So I'll give you my heart
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm ready to say, "Bah humbug"!
(Bah bah bah bah [x4])
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah humbug
(Bah bah bah bah [x4])
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah

I could get her a gift card to Olive Garden
But what if Red Lobster is way more her thing?
I don't even know
Well how 'bout a bike, or like a ukelele?
Or how 'bout I jump out the window? (window [x4])
Yeah, how 'bout I jump out the window? (window [x4])
Singing 'Joy to the World' face down in the snow!

I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I haven't found it yet
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
So I'll give you my heart, I hope it'll do
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm ready to say

I'll wrap myself in paper and sit under the tree
'Cause the best gift I can give you is this heart inside of me!

I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I ain't found it yet!
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you (here's my heart)
So I'll give you my heart, I hope it'll do
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm 'bout ready to say, "Bah humbug!"

(Bah bah bah bah [x4])
Sorry for the hand towels!
Bah humbug!
(Bah bah bah bah [x4])
Sorry for the Yankee candles!
Bah humbug!
(Bah bah bah bah [x2])
Sorry for all this useless junk!
The best gift I have to give
Is my love

(Huh. I hate shopping)

If I Stand lyrics - Owl City

(originally by Rich Mullins)

There’s more that rises in the morning than the sun
And more that shines in the night than just the moon
It’s more than this fire here that keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger than this room

And there’s a loyalty that’s deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of earth competes with allegiance
I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That You will pull me through
And if I can’t let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You

And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be
As a man who is longing for his home
Oh, yeah

There’s more that dances on the prairies than the wind
And more that pulses in the ocean than the tide
There’s a love that’s fiercer than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother’s when her baby’s at her side

And there’s a loyalty that’s deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of earth competes with allegiance
I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That You will pull me through
And if I can’t let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You

And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be
As a man who is longing for his home
Oh

So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That You will pull me through
And if I can’t let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You

And if I sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be
As a man who is longing for his home

And if I weep let it be
As a man who is longing for his home

Kiss Me Babe, It's Christmas Time lyrics - Owl City

Well it's Christmas time
And I'm warm inside
Despite the bitter cold
Cause you're here with me
And I guarantee
My heart is yours to hold

So we smile below
This mistletoe
As if we need a hint
And the falling snow
Well I bet it knows
How love can pull you in

Oh-ohh oh!

Little lights flash in your eyes
Glowing by the fireside
Leave the presents on the floor
Cause you're the one I'm waiting for

Oh let me lead the way
This holiday

Lets fly around the world tonight woah-oh yeah
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time
I love the way you hold me tight oh-oh yeah
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time

Little lights flash in your eyes
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time
Can't fight the way I feel inside
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time

Oh let me lead the way
This holiday

Well it's Christmas time
And I'm warm inside
Despite the bitter cold
And it's crystal clear
That this Christmas cheer
Is healthy for the soul

Little lights flash in your eyes
Glowing by the fireside
Leave the presents on the floor
Cause you're the one I'm waiting for

Oh let me lead the way
This holiday, this holiday

Let's fly around the world tonight woah-oh
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time
I love the way you hold me tight oh yeah
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time

Little lights flash in your eyes
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time
Can't fight the way I feel inside
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time

Oh let me lead the way
This holiday, this holiday

Let's fly around the world tonight woah-oh yeah
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time
I love the way you hold me tight oh yeah
Kiss me babe, it's Christmas time

Listen To What The Man Said lyrics - Owl City

(originally by Paul McCartney & Wings)

All right, okay, he-he-he
Very good to see you down in New Orleans, man
Yeah, here it is, yeah, yeah

Any time, any day
You can hear the people say that love is blind
Well, I don't know, but I say love is kind
Du-du-du...

Soldier boy kisses girl
Leaves behind a tragic world
But he won't mind
He's in love and he says love is fine
Duh duh duh duh
Uh duh duh duh duh
Duh duh duh

Oh - yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go
No matter what the man said
And love is fine for all we know
For all we know, our love will grow
That's what the man said
So won't you listen to what the man said?

He said
(Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo)
Ah, take it away!

Oh - yes, indeed we know
That people will find a way to go
No matter what the man said
And love is fine for all we know
For all we know, our love will grow
That's what the man said
So won't you listen to what the man said

The wonder of it all baby
The wonder of it all baby
The wonder of it all baby

The 5th Of July (Acoustic Version) lyrics - Owl City

My mother watched the fireworks
From her hospital bed
And after it was all over
She held me for the first time
On the 5th

And deep in Iowa country
In a Heavenly Hideaway
On the shores of Lake Rathbun
My folks brought me home

Oo on the 5th
Oo of July
Oo on the 5th
Oo

A teacher and a mechanic
Brought me into this world
And they've loved me with all their hearts
Since the day I opened my eyes
So I'd do well
To tell myself

To slow down
And tell my folks I love 'em
With all of my heart
'Cause someday
The Lord is gonna call them home
And someday they'll be gone

To slow down
And tell your folks you love 'em
With all of your heart
'Cause someday
The Lord is gonna call them home
And someday they'll be gone

'Cause we all live
Just one life
And mine began
Late that night

Oo on the 5th
Oo of July
Oo on the 5th
Oo of July

Oh on the 5th
Oh of July
Oh on the 5th
Oh

Untitled Hymn lyrics - Owl City

(originally by Chris Rice)

Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head for love is passing by
Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain

sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live

And like a new born baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk sometimes you fall

So fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live

Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain

Then cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live

Oh, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside

Then dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live

And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace and laugh on glory's side

And fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live

Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live

Up To The Cloud lyrics - Owl City

(from "Neural Cloud" soundtrack)

I'm seeking the truth to set you free
And to save you, I'll risk it all
One wrong move away from tragedy
But I'll catch you if you fall

I want a return to the real world
For life to be normal again
Though the sky has gone black
I'll never turn back
You're under attack
But I'll never turn back

When we start we won't stop
Cuz we're cyber punk rock
Cruising Random Access Memory Lane
Save the world and good luck
When the server backs up
Clone your mind and ride the digital train

If I get lost in the crowd
Back me up to the cloud
Loading faster than light
We were made to burn bright
And you know there's nothing holding us down

There's danger and darkness all around
And the odds are I'll crash and burn
But I won't go back or give up now
Cuz if I fail you won't return

I'll fight to the death for survival
For life to be normal again
Though the sky has gone black
I'll never turn back
You're under attack
But I'll never turn back

When we start we won't stop
Cuz we're cyber punk rock
Cruising Random Access Memory lane
Save the world and good luck
When the server backs up
Clone your mind and ride the digital train

If I get lost in the crowd
Back me up to the cloud
Loading faster than light
We were made to burn bright
And you know there's nothing holding us down

I'll lay down my life to protect you
So you can be normal again
So don't ever lose hope
I'll bring you back home

Waving Through A Window lyrics - Owl City

(from "Dear Evan Hansen" soundtrack)

I've learned to slam on the brake
Before I even turn the key
Before I make the mistake
Before I lead with the worst of me

Give them no reason to stare
No slipping up if you slip away
So I got nothing to share
No, I got nothing to say

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
I'm waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
I'm waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me?

We start with stars in our eyes
We start believing that we belong
But every sun doesn't rise
And no one tells you where you went wrong

Step out, step out of the sun
If you keep getting burned
Step out, step out of the sun
Because you've learned, because you've learned

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving?

When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
When you're falling in a forest and there's nobody around
Do you ever really crash, or even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
Did I even make a sound?
It's like I never made a sound
Will I ever make a sound?

On the outside, always looking in
Will I ever be more than I've always been?
'Cause I'm tap, tap, tapping on the glass
Waving through a window
I try to speak, but nobody can hear
So I wait around for an answer to appear
While I'm watch, watch, watching people pass
Waving through a window, oh
Can anybody see, is anybody waving back at me? (Ooh)

Is anybody waving?
Waving, waving, whoa-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
