Songwriters: Young, Adam

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'll 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
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/dqwA ]
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
I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
(Tonight, tonight, 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"



i know what this song means...

well adam youngs gf died right before this song came out... so it is prolly fact that this song was written thinking of her

he lies awake thinking of her because she isnt there "pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere" he needs to come back to reality she isnt there but he wants to be in her arms still

he cant send her a post card but he would if she were still here

he can watch everything that is going on around him but it isnt the same without her "the spaces between my fingers are right where yours fit perfectly" he wants to hold her hand

he'll try to sleep some how because he hasnt been able to yet

if you didnt know nastalgia is to want to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life... basically he misses her

when talking of "vanilla twilight" he is talking about sitting on the porch in moonlight
thinking of his girl makes him not lonely
he is always thinking of her
he is coming back to reality and he wants to forget everything about the past but "i swear i wont forget you"
he want to let her know that he misses her so he i still thinking about the past...

no matter what you believe this song is about it will always be a sad story. it is a good song and i love owl city! great music with great lyrics!

people will always be listening to this and i know i will! ily till the end!!~4real

A surprising and unexpected indie success in 2007, garnering over a million plays on his Myspace page, Minnesota-based songwriter Adam Young is poised for major success with his project, Owl City. A follow-up to MAYBE I'M DREAMING, Young's critically acclaimed 2008 debut as Owl City, OCEAN EYES (2009) finely hones his already prodigious songwriting talents to a pleasing mix of sweetly lovelorn indie pop and electronica-influenced beats.

Filled with bubbling electronics and light, G-rated club anthems, Ocean Eyes sets its sights on the MySpace generation, targeting the younger siblings of those who bought the Postal Service's Give Up six years earlier. This is computerized pop music, replete with programmed drum loops, digital symphonies, and all the amenities of modern recording software. Only Adam Young's vocals carry a hint of human presence, and his fanciful lyrics -- which turn even the most mundane content (see "Dental Care," a good ol' fashioned ode to oral hygiene) into whimsy -- serve to strengthen the album's escapist appeal. Such syrupy sweetness builds to a feverish pitch throughout the album's 12 tracks, peaking during the viral sensation "Hey Seattle" and the number one single "Fireflies." Those who don't have a sweet tooth should stay away, but Ocean Eyes will serve as a tasty dessert for those who can stomach it. [The album was reissued one year later as a double-disc record, with seven bonus cuts added to the existing track list.] ~ Andrew Leahey
