Random Fridays: Owl City Song Lyrics

http://bookworm716.blogspot.com/

First of all, check out Emma's lovely new Random Fridays banner. Isn't it gorgeous?

Now for this week's topic: song lyrics from a favorite artist. I have a lot of favorite singers/bands, mostly because my tastes tend to change somewhat with my mood, but right now I'm pretty crazy about Owl City. Obviously, I can't post all my favorite lyrics, but I'll do my best to give a good selection. (By the way, please let me know if you can read the text on the images.)

The Real World

With a starry brush, paint the dusk venetian blue,

 Because in the evening hush, you'll never believe the view. 
And when the leaves return, and their whisperings fill the night
They'll freeze and burn where fire and ice collide.

 

Shooting Star 

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out

Then it's time for you to shine

Brighter than a shooting star

So shine no matter where you are.

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light

'Cause it's time for you to shine

Brighter than a shooting star

So shine no matter where you are.

 
  Galaxies

Oh telescope, keep an eye on my only hope

Lest I blink and get swept off the narrow road

Hercules, you've got nothing to say to me,

'Cause you're not the blinding light that I need.

For He is the saving grace of the galaxies!

 Butterfly Wings

 

 Hot Air Balloon

We wrote a prelude to our own fairytale.

I'll be out of my mind 

And you'll be out of ideas pretty soon.

So let's spend

The afternoon in a cold hot air balloon!

Leave your jacket behind,

Lean out and watch the treetops over town.

I can't wait to kiss the ground wherever we touch back down!

Tidal Wave

 

I forget the last time I felt brave; 

I just recall insecurity

'Cause it came down like a tidal wave 

And sorrow swept over me.

Then I was given grace and love,

I was blind but now I can see.

'Cause I found a new hope from above

And courage swept over me.

Plant Life

  Tonight I'm busting out of this old haunted house

'Cause I'm sick of waiting for

All these spider webs to grow around me

'Cause I don't feel dead anymore

And I'm not afraid anymore. 

Gold
I don't need the stars in the night; I found my treasure.
All I need is you by my side, so shine forever.
Gold, I know you're gold.

You'll never be far; I'm keeping you near.
Inside of my heart, you're here.
Go on, it's gotta be time,
You're starting to shine.
'Cause what you've got is gold.
