On The Wing

owl city-on the wing

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 Huds
on 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 wee
kend we were in love

Home among these mountain tops can be
so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the tide

But photos on the walls of New York sh
opping malls
Distract me so I stay inside

I wish the rockets stayed over the pro
menade
Cuz I would make a hook and eye

And fish them from the sky, my darling
, she and I
We’re 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 an
d 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, lo
ok down and keep on singing!
And we can go anywhere

Are you there?

Are you there, or are you just a decoy
dream in my head?

Am I home or am I simply tumbling all
alone?
