LyricMeaning

On The Wing
Owl City

Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky

And we'll stir the stars around and watch them fall away

Into the Hudson Bay and plummet out of sight and sound

The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills

Where I live in the Alpine heights

Below the northern lights I spend my coldest nights alone awake

And thinking of the weekend we were in love

(The weekend we were in love)


Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull

A thousand miles from the tide

Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls

Distract me so I stay inside

I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade 'cuz I would make a hook

And I fish them from the sky

My darling she and I were hanging on so take us high

To sing the world goodbye


I am floating away lost in a silent ballet

I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you


Awake to take in the view

Late nights and early parades

Still photos and noisy arcades

My darling we're both on the wing

Look down and keep on singing and we can go anywhere


Are you there

(Are you there)

(Are you there)

(Are you there)


Are you there

(Are you there)

(Are you there)

(Are you there)


Or are you just a decoy dream in my head

Am I home or am I simply tumbling out alone


I am floating away

(Floating away)

Lost in a silent ballet

(Silent ballet)

I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you

Awake to take in the view


Late nights and early parades

(Early parades)

Still photos and noisy arcades

(Noisy arcades)

My darling we're both on the wing look down and keep on singing

And we can go anywhere


Are you there

(Are you there)

(Are you there)

(Are you there)


Are you there

(Are you there)

(Are you there)

(Are you there)
