Enchanted lyrics - Owl City

(cover/reply to Taylor Swift's song)

There I was again tonight forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired, lonely place

Walls of insincerity

Shifting eyes and vacancy vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered "have we met?"

Across the room your silhouette starts to make it's way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Oh Taylor I was so enchanted to meet you too

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you too

The lingering question kept me up

2AM, who do you love?

I wondered till I'm wide awake

Now I'm pacing back and forth, wishing you were at my door

I'd open up and you would say,

Hey it was enchanting to meet you

Oh Taylor I was so enchanted to meet you too

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you too

This is me praying that this was the very first page

Not where the story line ends

My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again

These are the words I held back as I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you too

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

Taylor I'll spend my whole life wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you too

I was never in love with someone else

I never had somebody waiting on me

'Cause you were all of my dreams come true

And I just wish you knew 

Taylor I was so in love with you.

Garden Party lyrics - Owl City

(originally by Rick Nelson)

I went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends

A chance to share old memories and play our songs again

When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name

But no one recognized me, I didn’t look the same

But it’s all right now, I learned my lesson well

You see, you can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself

People came from miles around and everyone was there

Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air

And over in the corner, much to my surprise

Mr. Hughes hid in Dylan’s shoes, wearing his disguise

But it’s all right now, I learned my lesson well

You see, you can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself

I played them all the old songs, I thought that’s why they came

But no one heard the music, we didn’t look the same

I said hello to Mary Lou, she belongs to me

And when I sang a song about a Honky Tonk, it was time to leave

But it’s all right now, I learned my lesson well

You see, you can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself

Someone opened up a closet door and out stepped Johnny B. Good

Playing guitar like ringing a bell and looking like he should

If you gotta play at garden parties, I wish you a lot of luck

But if memories were all I sang, I’d rather drive a truck

But it’s all right now, I learned my lesson well

You see, you can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself

You see, you can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself

You can’t please everyone so you gotta please yourself

Here's Hope lyrics - Owl City

Everywhere, everybody needs a neighbor

Showing up when times get hard

But there's friends of sons and daughters

Saying grace without supper in your backyard

Who doesn't wanna be a hero?

At least a little bit of helping out

There's something you're never gonna help or change

But hunger's something we can turn around

Here's hope (Here's hope)

Showing up at your front door

Here's hope (Here's hope)

Yeah what's everybody looking for

Here's your one chance to make a difference

Here's your one choice to give a helping hand

There's room at the table for more

Yeah here's hope.. Yeah here's hope

There's a small town girl in third grade

Making sure her sisters get enough

She sees her mama working two jobs

Worrying and crying, doing everything but giving up

If a miracle's a gift when you need it

Then it's time for stepping in

Here's to families and kids

Wherever you live

Never ever wondering again

Here's hope (Here's hope)

Showing up at your front door

Here's hope (Here's hope)

Yeah what's everybody looking for

Here's your one chance to make a difference

Here's your one choice to give a helping hand

There's room at the table for more

Yeah here's hope

Here's to going to bed not hungry

Here's to changing the story

Here's to bigger heart and brighter days

Let me hear you sing it for me

Let me hear you sing it for me

Here's hope (Here's hope)

Showing up at your front door

Here's hope (Here's hope)

Yeah what's everybody looking for

Here's your one chance to make a difference

Here's your one choice to give a helping hand

There's room at the table for more

Yeah here's hope (Here's hope)

Yeah here's hope (Here's hope)

Yeah here's hope (Here's hope)

Yeah here's hope (Here's hope)

Yeah here's hope

Hey Anna lyrics - Owl City

Hey Anna, he’s just a boy you won’t understand if you try

So, hey Anna, smile when he’s holding your hand tonight

Hey Anna, remember when you’re wishing away your life

Hey, hey Anna, everything is going to turn out just fine

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Such a hot crush

Makes your face blush,

But try to take your time

‘Cause every goose chase

Makes your heart race

And then you wonder why?

So wait for the home run,

You’ll find the right one

And you’ll figure this all out

Life is a mind game

Love is a blind date

And it’s making your heart pound

Hey Anna, he’s just a boy you won’t understand if you try

So, hey Anna, smile when he’s holding your hand tonight

Hey Anna, remember when you’re wishing away your life

Hey, hey Anna, everything is going to turn out just fine

Waking up sad

Isn’t so bad

If you look outside

‘Cause all the signs say

That it’s a new day

And you were so alive

So wait for the home run,

You’ll find the right one

And you’ll figure this all out

Life is a mind game

Love is a blind date

And it’s making your heart pound

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Hey Anna, he’s just a boy you won’t understand if you try

So, hey Anna, smile when he’s holding your hand tonight

Hey Anna, remember when you’re wishing away your life

Hey, hey Anna, everything is going to turn out just fine

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

Home Of The Blues lyrics - Owl City

(originally by Johnny Cash)

Just around the corner there’s heartaches

Down the street that losers use

If you can wade in through the teardrops

You’ll find me at the home of the blues

I walk and cry while my heart beat

Keeps time with the drag of my shoes

The sun don’t shine through this window of mine

‘Cause it’s dark at the home of the blues

Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest memories

Memories so sweet that I cry

And dreams that I’ve had left me feeling so bad

I just wanna give up and lay down and die

So if you just lost your sweetheart

And it seems that there’s no good way to choose

Well come along with me, misery loves company

And you’re welcome at the home of the blues

‘Cause just around the corner there’s heartaches

Down the street that losers use

If you can wade in through the teardrops

You’ll find me at the home of the blues

You’ll find me at the home of the blues

You’re gonna find me at the home of the blues

How Deep The Father's Love For Us lyrics - Owl City

How deep the Father's love for us,

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the chosen One,

Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything

No gifts, no power, no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom

I Hope You Think Of Me lyrics - Owl City

She wound a thread around the pieces of my broken heart

And left me to believe

That girls don't wanna, girls don't wanna leave

A starry night without a fear of heights

I can't recall, 'cause I learned after all

That girls don't wanna, girls don't wanna fall

As you doze off tonight, I'll toss and turn

As your sweet dreams take flight, I'll crash and burn

While your heart flutters free, I still can't breathe

As you stir in your sleep, I hope you think of me

Da da da da da da daaaaa

Da da da da da da daaaaa (girls, girls don't wanna leave)

I miss the way she whispered in my ear

Before she left, had me so convinced

That girls don't wanna, girls don't wanna leave

And Juliet's romantic balcony

Wears out the wall, but I learned after all

That girls don't wanna, girls don't wanna fall

As you doze off tonight, I'll toss and turn

As your sweet dreams take flight, I'll crash and burn

While your heart flutters free, I still can't breathe

As you stir in your sleep, I hope you think of me

When you're alone

I hope my ghost never leaves

'Cause when I'm home

Your painful memory is always haunting me

As you doze off tonight, I'll toss and turn

As your sweet dreams take flight, I'll crash and burn

While your heart flutters free, I still can't breathe

As you stir in your sleep, the thought is killing me

When I see you around, my eyes go wide

When you race through my mind, I die inside

While your heart flutters free, I still can't breathe

As you stir in your sleep, I hope you think of me

Da da da da da da daaaaa

I hope you think of me

Da da da da da da daaaaa

I hope you think of me

Da da da da da da daaaaa

I hope you think of me

Da da da da da da daaaaa

In Christ Alone lyrics - Owl City

In Christ alone, my hope is found


He is my light, my strength, my song


This cornerstone, this solid ground


Firm through the fiercest drought and storm


What heights of love, what depths of peace


When fears are stilled, when strivings cease


My comforter, my all-in-all


Here in the love of Christ I stand

There in the ground His body lay


Light of the world by darkness slain


Then bursting forth in glorious day


Up from the grave He rose again!

And as He stands in victory


Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me


For I am His and He is mine


Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death


This is the power of Christ in me


From life’s first cry to final breath


Jesus commands my destiny


No power of hell, no scheme of man


Can ever pluck me from His hand


Till He returns or calls me home


Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

Light Of Christmas lyrics - Owl City (with TobyMac)

Build a snowman with the wind at his back

Got the day planned and presents to wrap

Fight the wind chill with all of my friends

'Cause it's Christmas time again

Going downtown and spreading good cheer

Handing gloves out when we volunteer

For the children, greeting from ear to ear

Singing Christmas time is here

And everybody's like ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho

Four wheel driving through the snow

Fighting the cold with some hot coco

Grab your grandma, to the mall we go

And there's a man outside with a bucket and a bell

Wants to go home with a story to tell

And he's reminding us

That his Christmas got nothing to do

And if a boy himself sings like

Light of Christmas shining through

Our eyes, our smiles, you know we could

Shine on through

The good that we do for the people that don't have it so good

Light me up and I'll show you the way

Every year can't wait for Christmas day

Light me up, I finally figured out

What Christmas is all about

Oh oh, oh oh oh [x2]

Here's a gift card for your new winter coat

'Cause the backyard is covered with snow

And the sleigh rides, they don't cost a cent

Yeah, it's Christmas time again

Light of Christmas shining through

Our eyes, our smiles, you know we could

Shine on through

The good that we do for the people that don't have it so good

Light me up and I'll show you the way

Every year can't wait for Christmas day

Light me up, I finally figured out

What Christmas is all about

Do you hear the sound?

A thousand angels are singing out

To God Almighty we're bowing down

And that's what Christmas is all about

Light me up and I'll show you the way

Every year can't wait for Christmas day

Light me up, I finally figured out

What Christmas is all about

And everybody's like-

Light of Christmas shining through

My eyes are surprised, you know we could

Shine on through

The good that we do for the people that don't have it so good

Light me up, I finally figured out

What Christmas is all about

(For the people that don't have it so good)

I finally figured out

What Christmas is all about

Live It Up lyrics - Owl City

[from "The Smurfs 2" soundtrack]

(Lets Live It Up, Lets Live It Up, Lets Live It Up, Lets Live It Up)

Lead the way, and lets get it started, 

Seize the day, and reach for the sky,

Carry on, 'cause those broken hearted days are gone,

So wave good bye,

We're gonna blow up because we've got nothing to lose,

We're gonna rise up above when we've break all the rules,

We're gonna re-write the book 'cause its long over-due,

Tear up the script this is in 'cause its all up to you!

Because tomorrow, will show up on time,

You know, tomorrow, begins when you say-

'Tomorrow is on it's way, so lets live it up today!'

Smile wide, 'cause theres no debating,

It feels so right, so hold on tight!

We're gonna blow up because we've got nothing to lose,

We're gonna rise up above when we've break all the rules,

We're gonna re-write the book 'cause its long over-due,

Tear up the script this is in 'cause its all up to you!

Because tomorrow, will show up on time,

Its gonna follow, the night of your life,

You know, tomorrow, begins when you say-

Lets live it up today-ay-ay, 

Lets live it up today,

Lets live it up today,

We're gonna live it up today!

Paper Tigers (Demo) lyrics - Owl City

Well I’ve been huddled up alone

By the fire even though

I’m not exactly feeling cold

And I’ve been bundled up for days

Too confused to be amazed

At all the icy water in my veins

Why do I feel so alone?

Yeah I’ve been moving in and out

Of this old split-level house

And I’d just as soon burn the whole place down

‘Cause I quit working lumberyards

To build a mansion out of cards

But I feel thin behind these paper walls

Why do I feel so alone?

‘Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite

Like the ache in my chest that my heart didn’t invite

But if the prettiest romance isn’t perfectly right

That makes every love lost just a holiday every night

Well I’ve been painting through the night

In the basement out of sight

Brushing paper tigers black and white

‘Cause come tomorrow afternoon

I’ll fill a helium balloon

And set them free into the baby blue sky

So they won’t have to be alone

‘Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite

Like the ache in my chest that my heart didn’t invite

But if the prettiest romance isn’t perfectly right

That makes every love lost just a holiday every night

But when I close these heavy lids after dark

Each sweet dream is a target

And all my shots are so consistently wide of the mark

‘Cause the angriest bark is always worse than the bite

Like the ache in my chest that my heart didn’t invite

But if the prettiest romance isn’t perfectly right

That makes every love lost just a holiday every night

Just a holiday every night

Just a holiday every night

Just a holiday every night

Well I’ve been huddled up alone

By the fire even though

I’m not exactly feeling cold

But how my heartache hit the trail 

When a paper tiger tail

Fluttered down, I guess I’ll never know

Peppermint Winter lyrics - Owl City

There's the snow

Look out below

And bundle up

Cause here it comes

Run outside

So starry eyed

A snowball fight breaks out

And winter has finally begun

I twirl through the driveway with angelic grace

Till I slip on the sidewalk and fall on my face

This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet

I don't need to taste to believe

What's December without Christmas Eve

Hop in the sleigh

And we'll glide away

Into the night

And we'll sip on moonlight

Runny nose

My frosty toes

Are getting cold but I feel alive

So I smile wide

The snowflakes start falling and I start to float

Till my mean older brother stuffs snow down my coat

This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet

I don't need to taste to believe

What's December without Christmas Eve

All this holiday cheer

Heaven knows where it goes

But it returns every year

And though this winter does nothing but storm

The joy in my heart is ablaze and it's keeping me warm

It's keeping me warm

It's keeping me warm

I rip off the wrapping and tear through the box

Till I end up with 45 new pairs of socks

This peppermint winter is so sugar sweet

I don't need to taste to believe

What's December without Christmas Eve

Shine Your Way lyrics - Owl City

[from "The Croods" soundtrack]

Just before the dawn, 

When the light's still gone, 

Shine, shine your way, 

And you may not know, where to go, 

Shine, shine your way 

Open road but it's still dark, 

Build a fire from a spark, 

And shine, shine your way, 

Feed the feeling in your heart, 

Don't conceal it then you'll start, 

To find, find your way 

No one can stop, what has begun, 

You must believe when I say 

All of your tears will dry faster in the sun, 

Starting today, 

Shine, shine, shine, 

Shine your way 

There's an open sky, 

And a reason why, 

You shine, shine your way, 

There's so much to learn, 

And now it's your turn, 

To shine, shine your way 

There's a feeling deep inside, 

You can let it be your guide, 

To find, find your way, 

And there's no time for us to waste, 

Got to take a leap of faith, 

And fly, fly away 

Don't have to walk, 

Now you can run, 

Nothing can get in your way 

All of your tears will dry faster in the sun, 

Starting today, 

Shine, shine, shine, 

Shine your way 

Morning is breaking, 

Darkness is fading, 

We found a way to the light, 

It's such a beautiful sight 

Any time, anywhere, 

Turn around and I'll be there, 

To shine, shine your way 

Like a star burning bright, 

Lighting up the darkest night, 

I'll shine, shine your way 

Now I can see, 

You are the one, 

Sent here to show me the way 

All of your tears will dry faster in the sun, 

Starting today, 

Shine, shine, shine, 

We're on our way, 

Shine, shine, shine, 

That's what we say, 

Shine, shine, shine, 

Shine your way

There's a reason why

You shine, shine your way

All of our tears will dry faster in the sun

Shine your way

Sleepwalker lyrics - Owl City

You and me thick as thieves,

Parachute like falling leaves.

A million miles can not divide,

My heart from yours and yours from mine.

When the space gets longer,

The stars get stronger.

If we ever get lost, we can find a way, we can find a way.

There's not a road that I wouldn't ponder (Ponder.... [x3])

Up All Night,

Can't got to sleep with you by my side.

I turn the light on when I see a trace of my pillow talker.

Without you I'm just a Sleepwalker.

I don't know where I am,

I'm falling down the stairs.

I'm looking everywhere, everywhere.

Up all night,

I'd be a goner.

Without you I'm just a Sleepwalker.

I tried to find you in my dreams,

2000 leagues under the sea.

(I tried to find you in my dreams

2000 leagues under the sea).

Up against the looking glass,

I see the memories of our past.

(Up against the looking glass,

I see the memories of our past).

'Cause when the waves get longer,

The sky gets smaller.

If we ever get lost, gotta find a way, gotta find a way

Into the ocean your river wanders (wanders.... [x3])

Up All Night,

Can't got to sleep with you by my side.

I turn the light on when I see a trace of my pillow talker.

Without you I'm just a sleepwalker.

I don't know where I am,

I'm falling down the stairs.

I'm looking everywhere everywhere.

Up all night,

I'd be a goner.

Without you I'm just a sleepwalker.

(Sleepwalker...Sleepwalker...)

Up All Night,

Can't got to sleep with you by my side.

I turn the light on when I see a trace of my pillow talker.

Without you I'm just a sleepwalker.

I don't know where I am,

I'm falling down the stairs.

I'm looking everywhere everywhere.

Up all night,

I'd be a goner.

Without you I'm just a sleepwalker.

(Sleepwalker...Sleepwalker...)

The Christmas Song lyrics - Owl City

It's Christmas and we walk alone

Two strangers with no one to miss us

On our own, out in the cold

Trudging onward, braving a harsh winter storm

You and I met passing by, and now our spirits feel warm

I don't have anyone at home to talk to

And you don't have anything to do

So I'll spend my Christmas with you

(ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba) [x2]

I'll spend my Christmas with you

(ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba) [x2]

It's Christmas and we are in love

With the way that the soft snowflakes kiss us

From far above the blustery breeze

Trudging onward, braving a harsh winter storm

You and I met passing by, and now our spirits feel warm

I believe that Jesus is truly the only way

And I celebrate Christmas because it's his birthday

(it's his birthday)

I don't have anyone at home to talk to

And you don't have anything to do

So I'll spend my Christmas with you

(ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba) [x12]

I'll spend my Christmas with you

I'll spend my Christmas with you (ooh, ooh...)

I'll spend my Christmas with you (ooh, ooh...)

I'll spend my Christmas with you (ooh, ooh...)

The Joy In Your Heart lyrics - Owl City

I'm the snow

Look out below

And bundle up

'Cause here I come

Skies of grey

This holiday

But spirits shine so bright

They don't need the sun

'Cause love is the fire

In your fireplace

And carefree are the snowflakes

That fall on your face

And although this winter

May bring us a storm

The joy in your heart

Keeps you warm

Yeah, the joy in your heart

Keeps you warm

When Can I See You Again? lyrics - Owl City

[from "Wreck-It Ralph" soundtrack]

When can we do this again?

When can I see you again?

When can we do this again?

When can I see you again?

When can we do this again?

When can I see you again?

Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you

Go see the world 'cause it's all so brand new

Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine

It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly

Welcome to the rhythm of the night

There's something in the air you can't deny

It's been fun but now I've got to go

Life is way too short to take it slow

But before I go and hit the road

I gotta know, 'til then,

when can we do this again?

Oh oh oh oh

When can I see you again?

Oh oh oh oh

When can we do this again?

Oh oh oh oh

I gotta know, when can I see you again?

(When can I see you again?)

Joined at the hip, yeah your sidekick needs you

Life is a trip down the road that leads you

Look all around at all the mountains you haven't climbed

It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly

Welcome to the rhythm of the night

There's something in the air you can't deny

It's been fun but now I've got to go

Life is way too short to take it slow

But before I go and hit the road

I gotta know, 'til then,

when can we do this again?

Oh oh oh oh

When can I see you again?

Oh oh oh oh

When can we do this again?

Oh oh oh oh

I gotta know,

When can I see you again?

Don't close your eyes 'cause your future's ready to shine

It's just a matter of time, before we learn how to fly

Welcome to the rhythm of the night

There's something in the air you can't deny

So let me know before I wave goodbye

When can I see you again?

Oh oh oh oh

When can we do this again?

Oh oh oh oh

When can I see you again?

Oh oh oh oh

When can we do this again?

Oh oh oh oh

Yeah, it's been fun but now I've got to go

Life is way too short to take it slow

But before I go and hit the road

Tell me when

When can I see you again?

When can I see you again?

Tell me when

When can I see you again?

Wonderfilled Anthem lyrics - Owl City

Wonder if I gave an Oreo to the Big Bad Wolf,

how would the story go?

Would he still go huff and puff 

or would he bring those pigs cool stuff

to decorate the deck he helped them build?

Would they not get killed? 

Wonder if I gave an Oreo to a vampire in a creepy show,

would he not act so undead?

Would he thirst for milk instead?

I've just got this feeling that it might work out all right.

‘Cause cream does wondrous things 

inside a chocolate sandwich dream.

If I gave 'em to great white sharks, 

would they share 'em with baby seals? 

Would they call up a giant squid for a friendly meal?

Wonder if I gave an Oreo…

Wonder if I gave an Oreo… 

What if I gave an Oreo to you?
