Adam, Check Please lyrics - Owl City
I said
Hey, I'm looking for Casey Connor
Here's my resume
I'm looking for a part-time job
And I can start today
Well, I heard you needed some help in frozen
With Eric leaving soon
My boss shook my hand and I began
That Monday after school
That Monday after school
So thank you kindly
I owe ya, Hy-Vee
Eating cold pizza in the break room
Feeling kinda small
A skinny kid with a crooked tie
My name tag said it all
It said
"Adam, Frozen, 1 Years Of Service"
But I felt like the man
And I made it rain when payday came
Cuz that was all I had
So thank you kindly
I owe ya, Hy-Vee
Yeah I owe ya
Yeah I owe ya, Hy-Vee
(Adam, check please)
Ooh, na da da da da da da
Yeah I'll be filling up the Cool Whip
(Adam, check please)
If the lines are getting long
You know that you can call me
(Adam, check, Adam, check please)
Over the intercom
And I'll be there in a jiffy
(Adam, check please) (Help is on the way)
Ooh, na da da da da da da (Help is on the way, help is on the way)
Yeah I'll be filling up the Cool Whip (Help is on the way)
(Adam, check please) (Help is on the way)
Na da da da da da da (Help is on the way, help is on the way)
Everything is beautiful (Help is on the way)
(Adam, check, Adam, check please) (Help is on the way)
Yeah I promise I'm on the way (Help is on the way)
(Everything is beautiful) (Help is on the way)And I'll be there in a jiffy
Because
Stocking shelves was how I learned
To do my level best and take pride in my work
Cuz you never know when it's your turn
To climb the ladder of success
Show the world what you do best
Yeah you were made for this
Hey, I'm looking for Casey Connor
It seems like yesterday
I paid my dues in frozen foods
And I just wanna say
God bless the helpful smile in every aisle
I couldn't ask for more
And I'm glad I got my first real job
Working in this grocery store
In this grocery store
In this grocery store
So thank you kindly
(Yeah, you mean the world to me)
I owe ya, Hy-Vee
Yeah I owe ya
Don't stop until you reach the stars
Climb the ladder of success
Show the world what you do best
Yeah you were made for this
So chase your passion and not your paycheck
Be proud of what you have
And put in the work until your signature
Becomes an autograph
(Adam, check please) (Help is on the way)
Ooh, na da da da da da da (Help is on the way, help is on the way)
Yeah I'll be filling up the Cool Whip (Help is on the way)
(Adam, check please) (Help is on the way)
I'm on my way (Help is on the way)
I'm filling up the Cool Whip (Help is on the way, help is on the way)
(Adam, check, Adam, check please) (Help is on the way)
Yeah I promise I'm on the way now (Help is on the way)
(Everything is beautiful) (Help is on the way, help is on the way)
That friendly smile (Help is on the way)
In every aisle guaranteed (Help is on the way)
(Everything is beautiful) (Help is on the way)
That your day was breezy (Help is on the way)
All those hours (Help is on the way)
And store-bought flowers set me free (Help is on the way)
(Everything is beautiful) (Help is on the way)
And freedom meant the world to me (Help is on the way)
That friendly smile (Help is on the way)
In every aisle guaranteed (Help is on the way)
(Everything is beautiful) (Help is on the way)
That your day was breezy (Help is on the way)
All those hours (Help is on the way)
And store-bought flowers set me free (Help is on the way, help is on the way)
And freedom meant the world to me (Help is on the way)
(You know that help is on the way)
Under The Circus Lights lyrics - Owl City
Once upon a summer
A traveling circus came to town
From the land down under
And I was filled with wonder
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
Tear through the air with the greatest of ease
I got cotton candy
And then in a daze, I met her gaze
And she winked right at me
And my heart pounded madly
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease
She was a light in a dark lullaby
That girl was raised by a butterfly
I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly
And under the circus lights
I must have fallen in love that night
Lighter than a feather
But careful, as with a heavy heart
She seemed to fall forever
And then I wondered whether
I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze
Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease
And she took my breath away
Oh so grand and graceful
Confetti rained as she climbed through the air
Like a homesick angel
"She makes heartache painful"
I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze
Melted my heart with the greatest of ease
What a display of rosé poetry
What a majestic menagerie
I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly
And under the circus lights
I must have fallen in love that night
Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the most spectacular show on Earth
And she took my breath away
I was so enamored
And she took my breath away
All that glitz and glamor
And she took my breath away
I was so enamored
And that's how the girl on the flying trapeze
Knocked me off my feet with the greatest of ease
And then with a charming sweetness
She smiled and waved and took a bow
For a crowd stunned speechless
And I was charmed to pieces
When the girl on the flying trapeze
Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze
And simply broke my heart with the greatest of ease
We shook the floor with a roar of applause
She seemed to drown in the oohs and aahs
I hung around 'til the clowns
Tore the big top down
And soon it was almost dawn
I looked and looked but the girl was gone
Deep down I felt kinda blue
For a day or two
Then clear as a bell, I knew
I would run away with the circus too
Kelly Time lyrics - Owl City
Well video tapes and ice skates
Are beautiful things
Like a birthday card for Johnny
And a pair of angel wings
You were tryna light a fire
And all you wanted was a match
But you knew I didn't have one
So it was odd that you should ask
No, it wasn't just the plane crash
That shook you to the core
But the very thought of losing her
That made it all worth dying for
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
We both washed up on that island
All alone without a friend
Thinking you and I were gonna die there
And that would be the end
But as the weeks turned into months
I saw you overcome your fears
And as we became companions
All those months turned into years
When we would talk and talk for hours
You would make sure I felt heard
'Cause you knew what I was saying
Though I never said a word
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm ready for anything
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Who knows what the tide could bring?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Yeah, I'm ready for anything
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Who knows what the tide could bring?
After fifteen hundred days
You and me escaped to sea
And I knew that you still loved the girl
From Memphis, Tennessee
Out there on that lonely ocean
We met a passing humpback whale
'Cause all the way from Bakersfield
The tide gave us a sail
And just like that it happened
The waves took me away
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
That you lost a friend that day
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm ready for anything
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Who knows what the tide could bring?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Yeah, I'm ready for anything
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Who knows what the tide could bring?
Well you and me went on a journey
Full of tragedy and pain
But I'm grateful I was with you
Through the sunshine and the rain
And when I wonder where ya are now
I'll probably never know
But my friend I hope you made it
And somehow you finally made it home
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I have an ocean-worth of questions
But if I do know one thing
It's that the sun will rise tomorrow
And who knows what the tide could bring?
Da da da da daa
(Goodbye, my friend)
I'll never forget you
Doo doo doo doo ooh ooh ooh
Hey, hey, hey, Kelly are you there? Pick up!
I know I said I'd be back
And like that
Nobody knew where I was at
And all my logic said I would never see you again
After four years, I'm missin' you so bad
But here I am
And now I have to learn to let you go
Even though I love you more than you'll ever know
I'm gettin' used to have a heart and the way things are
But Kelly, I never should've gotten outta the car
I'm sorry
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm ready for anything
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Who knows what the tide could bring?
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Yeah, I'm ready for anything
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Who knows what the tide could bring?
I'm sorry
For everything
But nobody knows what the tide could bring
You know, nobody knows what the tide could bring
Videotapes and ice skates are beautiful things
Like a pocket watch on Kelly Time and a pair of angel wings
Oh, and the birthday card to Johnny
It made me realize
That the most beautiful thing in the world
Is, of course, the gift of life
The most beautiful thing in the world
Is to be so wonderfully alive
Field Notes lyrics - Owl City
We were heading on home, Diesel and me
Down an old gravel road, way out in the country
Tuckered out after working the fields all day
When all of a sudden, off like a shot
That dog took off running, barking his head off
Wherever he went, he went like there was hell to pay
So lickety-split, I crashed through the fields
Chasing after that hound and I was hot on his heels
When we both went over the edge of a deep ravine
As I crawled up the bank, cold and soaked to the bone
A glint caught my eye from the mud where it shone
Something was buried there, alongside a stream
Now the middle of a field is a pretty odd place
To find some kind of trunk or a chest or a crate
But buried under the earth, I saw a corner exposed
No there wasn't a map or a note or a key
It was clearly forgotten, just waiting for me
Like I was supposed to find it there, right under my nose
It had laid there for years, deep in the dirt
So I dug it out and wiped my hands on my shirt
I pried up the lid and excitedly peered inside
And what I saw was a sight to behold
Cuz that tattered old trunk was crammed full of gold
My eyes bugged out, it was enough to make a grown man cry
Big golden bricks with a shimmery sheen
They were a staggering sight to a poor boy like me
But right then and there I knew what I had to do
So with a smile, I sold what little I had
I gave my pots and my pans to my mom and my dad
And then I bought that field cuz it was my dream come true
And then, full of joy, I said goodbye to my shack
It wasn't much of a home, so I never looked back
And I never questioned the choice I happily made
I said I need that field, whatever it takes
You might call it foolish, but I'd call it faith
Trusting in God so gladly, you can't hardly wait
And that's how I learned how a rich fella counts
His treasure in heaven, not under the ground
Cuz betting the farm is well worth the risk
To carefully keep such a beautiful gift
That's yours forever, it's a pretty good deal
There's a couple of things more precious than gold
One is your heart and the other's your soul
And you got something unique that nobody can steal
It's a fable, you see, and the moral is this
Your heart's with your treasure, wherever it is
And trust me, when you dig
A treasure will be revealed
And you never know what could be buried in the middle of a field
Sons Of Thunder lyrics - Owl City
We are the new sons of thunder
We are uncrushable diamonds of light
We are the daughters of wonder
And when we leave the Earth
With a shower of sparks
We'll meet in the sky
And we'll walk among the stars
When we walk among the stars
The pleasure will be ours
And with young, unbroken hearts
We'll walk among the stars
Cuz we belong
Above the heavens and beyond
Oh, we are the odd music-makers
We are the dreamers of unusual dreams
We all face the forces of nature
But bravely, we'll take
Great leaps of faith
And then just like that
We'll walk upon the waves
Cuz we belong
Out on the ocean and beyond
We'll fly
We'll fly
We'll fly
In the twinkling of an eye
You and I
We'll fly
We are the heirs of adventure
And we are explorers of wondrous new worlds
We are the gifted inventors
And even though we are strange
And exquisitely scarred
We won't need to pretend to be anything we aren't
When we walk among the stars
The pleasure will be ours
And with young, unbroken hearts
We'll walk among the stars
Filled with the fierceness of tigers
We're all too familiar with the fires of life
But we are resilient survivors
And one day, we'll be free of nefarious schemes
Of cruel twists of fate and evil kings and queens
Cuz we belong
Between the sunrise and beyond
We'll fly
In the twinkling of an eye
We'll fly
We'll fly
In the twinkling of an eye
You and I
We'll fly
Sons of thunder
Feel the wonder
You were made to run
And not be faint
So take heart, wild one
For there is a God
Who loves you to death
No matter what you've done
So don't lose hope
Cuz He will lead you home
Yeah we serve a God
Who loves us to death
No matter what we've done
So don't lose hope
Cuz He will lead us home
We'll fly
We'll fly
We'll fly
In the twinkling of an eye
You and I
We'll fly
When we walk among the stars
The pleasure will be ours
And with young, unbroken hearts
We'll walk among the stars
The Tornado lyrics - Owl City
It was just starting to drizzle as I walked out the door
But I've delivered papers in the rain like that before
Three thirty in the morning, I was happy as a lark
As I grabbed my bike and rode into the dark
I pedaled through the neighborhood, the weather on my mind
The wind was picking up and howling louder all the time
The sky churned like a cauldron and the distant thunder roared
And I knew that I was in for quite a storm
A little rain never hurt no one so I kept pressing on
And I tried to tell myself, it's always darkest before the dawn
Lightning struck an oak tree as I leapt off my bike
The sirens started wailing but there was no good place to hide
I knew without a doubt, there was a twister touching down
So I crawled into a culvert to wait it out
The little bit of courage I had left was almost gone
But I tried to tell myself, it's always darkest before the dawn
And then the nightmare started, it got deafeningly loud
Everything fiber in me screamed out but I couldn't make a sound
The whirling of a vortex, a violent carousel
It sounded like a freight train was dragging me to hell
And this was my prayer, "Save me from this terrible nightmare"
That was when I saw my family with my eyes shut real tight
Would they know how much I loved them if this was how I died?
No, I vowed I'd not be murdered by a monster in the sky that night
But if I went home to heaven, at least that's where I'd belong
Yeah I tried to tell myself, it's always darkest before the dawn
So I kept hanging on
I kept hanging on
The shadows slowly melted as I was hunkered down
Till at last the worst was over, the storm was dying out
I crept out of that culvert and I went weak in the knees
Cuz what I saw was a somber sight to see
There was nothing but destruction and wreckage in that town
Cars were upside down and houses leveled to the ground
A twisted trampoline was hanging from the power lines
I blinked a tear back cuz I felt lucky to be alive
And that was how I learned to live when you can run but you can't hide
How to feel trapped in a tunnel but come out the other side
Cuz with all the stormy weather in the world, you learn to take
Life one storm at a time, you don't have to be afraid
And now when there's bad weather on the way, I stay calm
And I keep hanging on because it's always darkest before the dawn
And I keep hanging on
I keep hanging on
Vitamin Sea lyrics - Owl City
Do-do-do, ooh-ooh
I think highly of Hawaii
Got a cheap flight and a plan
So heads up, Nancy, don't get antsy
While I'm working on my tan
'Cause it's crystal clear to me
A weekend in Waikiki is what I need
Yeah, I could use a sip of island serenity
'Cause when I need a vacation
I need some vitamin sea
Aloha, let the good tides roll
Aloha and mahalo
When I walk on the beach
I never wanna leave
'Cause when I get kinda salty
I need some vitamin sea
Yeah, I gotta go now
'Cause I'm a little worn down
And I'm a little burned out
And I need a vacation
Aloha, let the good tides roll
'Cause when I get kinda salty
I need some vitamin sea
Do-do-do, ooh-ooh
Sitting calmly by a palm tree
With a lemonade in my hand
I ain't concerned if I sunburn
I'll catch all the rays I can
'Cause when my gusto gets low
Then that's when I know
I have a tropical deficiency
And a little sand between my toes is the remedy
'Cause when I need a vacation
I need some vitamin sea
Aloha, let the good tides roll
Aloha and mahalo
When I walk on the beach
I never wanna leave
'Cause when I get kinda salty
I need some vitamin sea
Yeah, I gotta go now
'Cause I'm a little worn down
And I'm a little burned out
And I need a vacation
Aloha, let the good tides roll
'Cause when I get kinda salty
I need some vitamin sea
So BRB
I've gone coastal
'Cause when I feel a bit blue
I head for Honolulu
And I am happy as a clam
Do-do-do, ooh-ooh
So I'll put up my feet and tell all my troubles to the ocean breeze
'Cause sitting on a beach is cheaper than therapy
And when I need a vacation
I think you'll know where I'll be
Aloha, let the good tides roll
Yeah, the voice of the ocean
It speaks to my soul
And where my worries went
Well, I guess I don't know
So let the good tides roll
(I need a vacation
'Cause I'm kinda low
(Need a vacation)
Yeah, I gotta go now
'Cause I'm a little worn down
And I'm a little burned out
And I need a vacation
Aloha, let the good tides roll
Aloha, let's go!
'Cause when I get kinda salty
I need some vitamin sea
Yeah (I need a vacation)
I need some vitamin sea
I need a vacation
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
I'm on vacation
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da da
And I think I'm gonna stay forever
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Yeah, I'm on vacation
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
And I think I'm gonna stay forever
Dinosaur Park lyrics - Owl City
Welcome to South Dakota
Here in early July
Tucked away in The Black Hills
On an especially starry night
A concrete green Brontosaurus
Has a subtle glint in her eye
Cuz under the moonlight
When the moment is right
Under the moonlight
Things come alive
In Dinosaur Park
Long after dark
I wonder what happens there
When no one's around
Does some kinda magic fill the air?
I won't ever prove
Statues can move
But I'd like to think they do
So I make believe
With all of my heart
There's magic afoot
Unseen in the dark
In Dinosaur Park
Boy, I love Rapid City
And that hilltop of beasts
When I gaze up at that T-Rex
It's like he's staring back at me
Yeah those old dinosaur sculptures
Fill my heart with awe and intrigue
Cuz under the moonlight
When the moment is right
Under the moonlight
Things come alive
In Dinosaur Park
Long after dark
I wonder what happens there
When no one's around
Does some kinda magic fill the air?
I won't ever prove
Statues can move
But I'd like to think they do
So I make believe
With all of my heart
There's magic afoot
Unseen in the dark
In Dinosaur Park
Cuz when the moon's sitting pretty
Above Rapid City
There's much more than meets the eye
And I can only imagine
What strange things could happen
When nobody's on Skyline Drive
And when I leave Minnesota
To see South Dakota
I got a lot of things on my mind
Cuz I can only imagine
What strange things could happen
Up on top of that hill at night
What do dinosaurs talk about
When they're alone?
Before the sun comes up
And they turn back to stone
Do they look down on the city lights
Even though they don't bat an eye?
And then at night, when the moon is bright
Do they come alive?
I have a sneaking suspicion inside
Cuz in Dinosaur Park
Long after dark
I wonder what happens there
When no one's around
Does some kinda magic fill the air?
I won't ever prove
Statues can move
But I'd like to think they do
I don't know how
And I don't know why
But I get the feeling deep down inside
There's magic afoot
In the middle of the night
Cuz when the moon's sitting pretty
Above Rapid City
There's much more than meets the eye
And I can only imagine
What strange things could happen
When nobody's on Skyline Drive
And when I leave Minnesota
To see South Dakota
I got a lot of things on my mind
Cuz I can only imagine
What strange things could happen
Up on top of that hill at night
In Dinosaur Park
In Dinosaur Park
Learn How To Surf lyrics - Owl City
I spent the summer in Santa Cruz
And I met a blonde on the beach
With lots of quirky tattoos
She had that old famous quote
"We're gonna need a bigger boat"
Two tiny waves on her toes
And turtle tracks on her collarbones
I asked her what they meant
And this is what she said
You gotta go with the flow
Cuz the tides always turn
And sink or swim, diving in
Is the best way to learn
Kick up the sand cuz your tan
Proves you lived through the burn
And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
And by the way, it's okay
It could always be worse
Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
I met a blonde on the beach
With lots of quirky tattoos
She had a shark on her arm
A pirate shredding the gnar
An octopus wearing shades
And seagull wings on her shoulder blades
I asked her what they meant
And this is what she said
You gotta go with the flow
Cuz the tides always turn
And sink or swim, diving in
Is the best way to learn
Kick up the sand cuz your tan
Proves you lived through the burn
And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
And by the way, it's okay
It could always be worse
Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
Go with the flow
Then she said when you're sad and you feel alone
Write them down, all your worries and woes
Go with the flow
Then fold em up, cork it shut and let that bottle go
And set your troubles afloat
She told me hey, seas the day
Know the ocean by heart
And if it don't float your boat
Learn to swim with the sharks
Kick up the sand cuz your tan
Proves you lived through the burn
And when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves
Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
Learn how to surf
And by the way, it's okay
It could always be worse
Yeah when you wipe out, it's gonna hurt
You can't stop the waves
But you can learn how to surf
The Meadow Lark lyrics - Owl City
Upon a winding forest road
I met a soldier, far from home
I saw he was my enemy
So I aimed at him and he at me
Prepared was I but loath to shoot
And he, uncertain what to do
A cold sweat formed upon my brow
But we both kept rank and stood our ground
And then a curious thing occurred
On wings arrived a tiny bird
And troubled not by war or peace
She sang for us a melody
Oh, oh, ooh
Oh, oh, ooh
I dared not move or look away
Lest my life, my foe would take
Yet in his eyes I saw his fright
Just a boy like me, afraid to die
The meadow lark sang on and on
Then more arrived and joined the song
And as I held my rival's stare
A tremendous chorus filled the air
Then in my heart, as clear as day
I heard a gentle whisper say
My son, if my disciple be
Show grace and love your enemy
Oh, oh, ooh
Oh, oh, ooh
With swell of birdsong all around
Lowered I, my rifle down
And as my foe took aim at me
I showed him yield on bended knee
He faltered then and shook with fear
And from his eye he wiped a tear
His gaze was as a brother's bond
And then he turned and he was gone
Oh, oh, ooh
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh
If I should live to see more days
I pray the Lord to guide my ways
With grace to love my enemy
For grace my Savior showed to me
With grace to love my enemy
For grace my Savior showed to me
My Muse lyrics - Owl City
I remember when I saw you at the movies
And to me, you were a stranger in the room
But to my surprise, I met your eyes
And that was when I knew
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you
Yeah without a doubt, I took you out for coffee
We sat for hours at a table made for two
And this is what I meant, sweet one I spent the whole day talking to
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you
I love the lightness in your laughter and the sparkle in your eyes
It doesn't matter if it rains or shines cuz I'll be by your side
You're the fire I admire and you'll always be my muse
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you
It was all a blur, then there we were at the alter
You were mine and all my dreams were coming true
You know I meant it when I took your hand in mine and said "I do"
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you
But how the time does fly and years go by, it's crazy
We both got sick and hurt and sad a time or two
But how I love you more and more, and after all that we've been through
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you
I love the flowers in your footprints and the sparkle in your eyes
It doesn't matter if it rains or shines cuz I'll be by your side
For the record, you're my treasure and you'll always be my muse
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you
I'm not one to worry much about the future
But because you're mine, I got everything to lose
So I'll say it now before we're at the door that someday we'll walk through
And if I'm the only one left in the room
There's nowhere else I'll rather be than home with you
I love the springtime in your spirit and the sparkle in your eyes
It doesn't matter if it rains or shines cuz I'll be by your side
I can say it, you're my favorite and you'll always be my muse
And I hope that in your heart you know it's true
There's nowhere else I'd rather be than here with you
Car Trouble lyrics - Owl City
Hey, so it's a really long story
But I've been drivin' all afternoon
(I-I-I-I-I've)
(Drivin', drivin', drivin', drivin')
I've been drivin' all afternoon
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
And though I'm late, you know I just can't wait
To come home to my slice of heaven on toast
But my Grand Prix broke down without fail
Another flat tire and another nail
I miss your smile but this could take a while
'Cause this "Road Closed" sign says there's no way around
No, first I felt kinda sad but I said out loud
"You know, this isn't so bad?"
Your photograph on my dash knows it's true
It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you
I've been trudgin' since 2 AM
On the side of this highway, 'cause back there when
I patched that flat, I ran on fumes
And that was a bad move 'cause yeah, I ran out of gas
The heavens opened, the rain came down
Now I'm soaked to the bone, but I'm homeward bound
So I just don't care how much I have to bear
'Cause you'll be there when I walk in through the door
So down this road I will run and only stop to buy you
A bouquet for no reason
Hey, it's kinda crazy what daisies can do
It might take me forever, but I can't wait to see you
Well hey, I'd say that the real question is
Am I unavoidably detained
Or extremely fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really hasn't been my day
But, I'm on my way
Am I unavoidably detained
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
But I'm on my way
If I blew in by daybreak, I'd be in luck
I'd hand you a coffee right when you woke up
But my ETA just jumped to MIA
And I'm so lost, my mind is startin' to stray
Let's say I fly to Kathmandu
To show the whole world I got a lot to prove
But all I find is all these highways wind
And lead back to my slice of heaven on toast
Oh, would your heart kinda glow if I held your hand
And I promised to stay home?
Hey, when I blow in that's the first thing I'll do
It might take me forever
It might take me forever
But I love you forever, and I can't wait to see you
Yeah
Woo! Hey, I'd say that the real question is
Am I unavoidably detained
Or extremely fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
But, I'm on my way
Am I unavoidably detained
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
There ain't nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn't been my day
But, I'm on my way, yeah
I've been drivin' all afternoon
But I hate to say it, I won't be there soon
Boston lyrics - Owl City
(originally by Augustana)
In the light of the sun, is there anyone?
Oh, it has begun
Oh, dear, you look so lost
Your eyes are red when tears are shed
This world, you must have crossed, you said
"You don't know me, you don't even care"
Oh yeah, and you said
"You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains"
Oh yeah, that's what you said
Essential yet appealed
You carry all your thoughts across an open field
When flowers gaze at you
They're not the only ones
Who cry when they see you, you said
"You don't know me, you don't even care"
Oh yeah, well, you said
"You don't know me, and you don't wear my chains"
Oh yeah, she said
"I think I'll go to Boston, I think I'll start a new life
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather
I think I'll get a lover and fly 'em out to Spain"
Oh yeah, and I think I'll go to Boston, I think that I'm just tired
I think I need a new town to leave this all behind
I think I need a sunrise, I'm tired of a sunset
I hear it's nice in the summer, some snow would be nice, oh-yeah
You don't know me, and you don't even care
Oh yeah
Boston, where no one knows my name
Where no one knows my name
No one knows my name
Oh yeah
Boston
Where no one knows my name
Adam, Check Please (Up North Version) lyrics - Owl City
I said
Hey, I'm looking for Casey Connor
Here's my resume
I'm looking for a part-time job
And I can start today
Well, I heard you needed some help in frozen
With Eric leaving soon
My boss shook my hand
And I began
That Monday after school
That Monday after school
So thank you kindly
I owe ya, Hy-Vee
Eating cold pizza in the break room
Feeling kinda small
A skinny kid with a crooked tie
My name tag said it all
It said
"Adam, Frozen, 1 Years Of Service"
But I felt like the man
And I made it rain when payday came
'Cause that was all I had
So thank you kindly
I owe ya, Hy-Vee
Yeah I owe ya
Ooh, na da da da da da da
Yeah I'll be filling up the Cool Whip
Adam, check—Adam, check please
I'm on my way
I'm filling up the Cool Whip
Yeah, I promise I'm on the way
Now that friendly smile
In every aisle guaranteed
That your day was breezy
All those hours
And store-bought flowers
Set me free
And freedom meant the world to me
Hey, I'm looking for Casey Connor
It seems like yesterday
I paid my dues in frozen foods
And I just wanna say
God bless the helpful smile in every aisle
I couldn't ask for more
And I'm glad I got my first real job
Working in this grocery store
So thank you kindly
I owe ya, Hy-Vee
Yeah I owe ya
How you're feeling?
I'll be filling up the Cool Whip
Adam, check—Adam, check please
I'm on my way
I'm filling up the Cool Whip
Yeah, I promise I'm on the way
Now that friendly smile
In every aisle guaranteed
That your day was breezy
All those hours
And store-bought flowers
Set me free
And freedom meant the world to me
Under The Circus Lights (Live) lyrics - Owl City
How ya feeling? It's great to be here. Thanks! Here's a song about somebody who had an enchanting encounter inside of a big top tent. I've always had a thing for the idea of running away with the circus. I don't know why. I just know that I'd end up with extraordinary stories to tell. Here's one of them
Once upon a summer
A traveling circus came to town
From the land down under
And I was filled with wonder
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
Tear through the air with the greatest of ease
I got cotton candy
And then in a daze
I met her gaze
And she winked right at me
And my heart pounded madly
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease
She was a light in a dark lullaby
That girl was raised by a butterfly
I swear when I caught her eye
I could almost fly
And under the circus lights
I must have fallen in love that night
Lighter than a feather
But careful, as with a heavy heart
She seemed to fall forever
And then I wondered whether
I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze
Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease
And she took my breath away
Oh so grand and graceful
Confetti rained as she climbed through the air
Like a homesick angel
"She makes heartache painful,"
I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze
Melted my heart with the greatest of ease
What a display of rosé poetry
What a majestic menagerie
I swear when I caught her eye
I could almost fly
And under the circus lights
I must have fallen in love that night
And then with a charming sweetness
She smiled and waved and took a bow
For a crowd stunned speechless
And I was charmed to pieces
When the girl on the flying trapeze
Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze
And simply broke my heart with the greatest of ease
We shook the floor with a roar of applause
She seemed to drown in the "ooh"s and "aah"s
I hung around 'til the clowns
Tore the big top down
And soon it was almost dawn
I looked and looked but the girl was gone
Deep down I felt kinda blue
For a day or two
Then clear as a bell, I knew
I would run away with the circus too
Thank you
Come back with a great story
