Owl City

I wish I could kuvuka, msalaba my arms and kuvuka, msalaba your mind
Cause I believe you'd unfold your paper moyo and wear it on your sleeve
All my life I wish I broke mirrors instead of promises
Cause all I see is a shattered conscience staring right back at me
I wish I had covered all my tracks completely
Cause I'm so afraid, is that the light at the far end of the tunnel au just the train
Lift your arms, only heaven knows where the danger grows
And it's salama to say there's a bright light up ahead and help is on the way

I forget the last time I felt brave, I just recall insecurity
Cause it came down like a tidal wave...

Welcome back winter once again
And put on your warm fuzzy sweater
'Cause you'll feel much better when

The snowflakes fall gently to the ground
The temperature drops and your shivers
Freeze all the rivers around
But I keep wewe warm

If speed's a pro, inertia must be a con
'Cause the cold wind blows
At precise rates
When I've got my ice skates on

If all the roads were paved with ice
That wouldn't thaw au crack
I could skate from Maine to Nebraska
Then on to Alaska and back
'Cause wewe keep me warm

Peer over the edge, can wewe see me?
Rivulets flow from your eyes
Paint runs from your mouth like a waterfall
And your...

High rise, veins of the avenue
Bright eyes and subtle variations of blue
Everywhere is balanced there like a upinde wa mvua above you

Street lights glisten on the boulevard
And cold nights make staying alert so hard
For heaven's sake, keep me awake so I won't be caught off guard
Clearly I am a passerby but I'll find a place to stay
Dear pacific day, won't wewe take me away?

Small town hearts of the New Year
Brought down kwa gravity, crystal clear
City fog and brave dialogue converge on the frontier

Make haste, I feel your heartbeat
With new taste for speed, out on the street
Find a road to a humble abode where both...

Where was I when the rockets came to life?
And carried wewe away into the Alligator Sky?
Even though I'll never know what's up ahead,
I'm never letting go, I'm never letting go!


Remember to breathe, because it'll take your breath away,
When the engines cough, and wewe blast off.
Ignite the night with a firecracker flash.
Remember to live, 'cause you're gonna be thrilled to death,
When the stars collide and your eyes grow wide.
Take it in with your breath against the glass.
Remember to dream because it's gonna be a starry night,
Over every town, if wewe look down.
So harmonize with the imba satellites.
Remember...

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth

Hello Seattle, I am a mantaray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home

Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you

Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze

Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and your boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates...

Met a girl in the parking lot,
And all I did was say hello.
Her pepper spray made it rather hard
For me to walk her home,
But I guess that's the way it goes.

Tell me again was it upendo at first sight
When I walked kwa and wewe caught my eye.
Didn't wewe know upendo could shine this bright?
Well smile because you're the deer in the headlights.

Met a girl with a graceful charm,
But when beauty met the beast he froze.
Got the sense I was not her type
By black eye and bloody nose,
But I guess that's the way it goes.

Tell me again was it upendo at first sight
When I walked kwa and wewe caught my eye.
Didn't wewe know love...

I brush my teeth, and look in the mirror
And laugh out loud as I'm beaming from ear to ear
I'd rather pick flowers instead of fights
And rather than flaunt my style
I'd flash wewe a smile of clean pearly whites

I've been to the dentist a thousand times so I know the drill
I smooth my hair, sit back in the chair
But somehow I still get the chills
"Have a seat" he says pleasantly
As he shakes my hand, and practically laughs at me
"Open up nice and wide" he says peering in
With a smirk he says "don't have a fit this'll just pinch a bit"
As he tries not to grin

When hygienists leave on long vacations
That's when...

Are wewe out there
Where the rainy days begin
To feel rather sad
And the walls are closing in
Like the darkness around me
It's so hard to look away
When the daylight doesn't ever stay
Above this dull apartment view
Oh, I will surround you

It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
So I'll devise a plan
And cut out a door in my new living room floor
The porch light is so bright
That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape
Of the rusty moto escape

I bought a one way ticket
Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane
And we were going down
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water...

I saw a ghost on the stairs
And sheets on the tables and chairs
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
Even so, I don't know what to think

I've been longing for
Daisies to push through the floor
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won't feel dead anymore
So I won't feel dead anymore

I saw a kubeba in the den
Readin' my textbooks again
Bats float like traffic as they pour from the attic
Heaven knows I could really use a friend

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck...

I saw the autumn leaves
Peel up off the street
Take wing on the balmy breeze
And sweep wewe off your feet
And wewe blushed as they scooped wewe up
On sugar maple wings
To gaze down on the city below
Ablaze with wondrous things

Downy feathers kiss your face
And flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place
But I wouldn't want to live there
I wouldn't want to live there

Weighed down kwa heavy lids
And lunar lullabies
I knew wewe were wide awake
'Cause wewe smile with your eyes

Downy feathers kiss your face
And flutter everywhere
Reality is a lovely place
But I wouldn't want to live there

From the green ukanda balcony
The wildfires...

(Music)

This is a world, of dreams, and reverie,
where I felt the stars, explode, around me.
A nyasi blade flashed with a gleam,
as it slashed open a moonbeam,
and I stared back breathlessly,
as mountains of matunda tumbled out,
I barely had the chance to shout,(shout)
A strawberry Avalanche crashed over me.

(Music)

Staying awake, that night, was rather hard,
Deep in a sleeping bag, in your backyard.
When we woke up buried alive,
beneath the fruity landslide,
we both laughed hysterically,
It couldn't be just another dream but I swear I heard wewe scream,(scream)
A strawberry Avalanche crashed over me.

(Music)...

So there we were, back nyumbani from somewhere inside my head
Oh, bravely I fought off the monsters beneath her bed
Pillars of postwar vitabu supported kwa frame of mind
While she memorized the pages that I tried to not hide behind
She took my hand in hers and whispered her upendo for me
The lantern died that night but we didn't need to see
Implying that she's the bee's knees and I am the cat's meow
It's funny how she recalls what I can't remember now

But when her smile came back and I didn't feel half as horrible
She gave me a moyo attack just because she looked so adorable
We both put our sunblock on, played...

If you're the bird whenever we pretend it's summer
Then I'm the worm, I know the part, it's such a bummer
But fair is fair, if my segments get separated
I'll scream and you'll be there

Close your eyes, close my eyes
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder
And feel the shine, feel the shine
I'm hooked so toss me over and cast a line, oh I'll try
Oh, throw a party and greet my undersea friends
It depends, as they arrive, if they arrive

You and I left our troubles far behind, troubles far behind
But I still have just one zaidi swali on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends...

(Da da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da da)

My rock Candy passion is bittersweet
And armed to the teeth
Cuz she would rather fall in chocolate
Than fall in upendo
Especially with me

I stood under the waterfall
With a kiwi-pineapple parasol
As cinderella dropped the crystal ball
And made a concrete cavern
A caterpillar tamasha hall

I wish that we could sail our sad days away
Forever
In deep blue seas of paper mâché
(Let's dance in the moonlight)
A sansuri, barracuda chased our dog days away
Forever
Let's sink au swim 'til we fall in love
(And dance in the moonlight)
When we jiunge the yacht club

I would rather go swimming...

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 wewe too

This night is sparkling, don't wewe let it go
I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
I'll spend forever wondering...
