SING OUT!

[Redwallfan7]

Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy~
But here's my number
So call me maybe?

It's hard to look right
Atcha baby~
But here's my number
So call me maybe?

Hate hate HATE this song, but it must be one of the catchiest songs invented by mankind.

I'm not so crazy about it either.

[Rainshadow]

  @Tiria Wildlough:  I love that song!

  Designer Skyline - Owl City

Affection, the gifted architect,
Is making a draft and beautiful design
The options and possibilities
Are endless when we connect and realign

Collections of books and documents
Arise and parade around my cluttered desk
Reworking the math and measurements
Until I'm convinced these plans are picturesque
Like mountains in the Midwest

Reaction creates the columns dark
And wide like the roads around Fort Lauderdale
The structures begin to take their shape
Before I've designed the public monorail

The turnpike and high-speed motorway
Connect and enclose the quaint suburban streets
The airport, the broad suspension bridge
The lake and the beach where several rivers meet
Compounded from the spreadsheet

A city sparkles in the night
How can it glow so bright?
The neighborhoods surround the soft florescent light
Designer skyline in my head
Abstract and still well-read
You went from numbered lines to buildings overhead

[Redwallfan7]

Owl City has some of the best songs ever!

[Rainshadow]

  Amen!

  Early Birdie - Owl City

Good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you're gonna take us
Someplace that I have never been
It's chic transportation to
New destination where
I leave my reflection on the glass

I'd ask but we all know
How far these interstates go
Or how deep the city routes go down
In chilly sub depth railways
The weathered concrete stairways
Provide me with the means of getting home
If I ever leave

(On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand while soothing words)

So many sights to see
So wake up like an early birdie
And we'll get a head start on the day
Oh, stained glass sky ways
And crowded six lane highways
If I look back when I begin to leave
Will they remember me?

Circuit flights bend the lights when I am spent
And tour guides make happy brides through heaven soon

Good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you're gonna take us

(On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand
While soothing words)

On crystal sand we sleep hand in hand
While soothing words hover like humming birds

Good, good evening shuttle bus
Tell me where you're gonna take us

[Redwallfan7]

  Amen!

Hi, can I put a request? Hot Air Balloon!

[Rainshadow]

  Request granted!

  Hot Air Balloon - Owl City

We wrote a prelude
To our own fairy tale
And bought a parachute
At a church rummage sale

And with a mean sewing machine
And miles of thread
We sewed the day above L.A.
In navy and red

We wound a race track
Through your mom's kitchen chairs
And fought the shadows back
Down your dark basement stairs

I lit a match, then let it catch
To light up the room
And then you yelled as we beheld
An old maroon hot air balloon

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 touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down

La la la la la laaa
La la la la la laaa

We drank the Great Lakes
Like cold lemonade
And both got stomach aches
Sprawled out in the shade

So bored to death you held your breath
And I tried not to yawn
You made my frown turn upside down
And now my worries are gone

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 touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down

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 touch the treetops over town
I can't wait
To kiss the ground
Wherever we touch back down

Once upon a time a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me

And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me

'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

No apologies, he'll never see you cry
Pretend he doesn't know that he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning
Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see

He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, hey!

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble

I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble


Depressing song, but I like it.

[Redwallfan7]

I love that one, Tiria. I think it's my new favorite Taylor Swift song. I liked how she tried out a pop song for the first time

[Tiria Wildlough]

It's one of those songs that I listen to loads of times over. Then I feel guilty about it. I have no idea why.

[winifred]

I have a castle on a cloud,
I like to go there in my sleep,
Aren't any floors for me to sweep,
Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a room that's full of toys,
There are 100 boys and girls,
Nobody shouts or talks too loud,
Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a lady all in white,
She likes to sing me lullubys,
She's nice to see and she's soft to touch,
She says, "Cosette, I love you very much....."

I know a place where no-one's lost,
I know a place where no-one cries,
Crying at all is not aloud!
Not in my castle on a cloud.

Love this song!
Only thing that really bothers me is the second paragraph, second stanza. They could switch boys and girls and make it rhyme more 

[Mattio]

Everything I ever said
Eveything that I have done
Tryna show'em it's my time
Building mansions in my mind
Now that's all so yesterday
I'm just lighting up my fire
Tell the world I'm saying goodbye
You ask me why
I'm building castles in the sky
I'm building castles in the sky

[Rainshadow]

  Bright Eyes - Art Garfunkel

Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where it goes
And what does it mean?
Oh is it a dream?

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Is it a kind of a shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Oh is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows where you go
And where do you start?
Oh into the dark

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly,
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes

Breakthrough-Britt Nicole (My first favorite song off her album!)

Hey there fear...
I've seen you here before
You keep coming back
And knocking at my door
For so long, so long
I've been trying to soar
With my hands tied up and my feet held to the floor

[Chorus:]
But I'm feeling' like a breakthrough is coming
I can see (that)
A breakthrough is coming, coming for me
Cause my heart, it was made to fly
Destiny can't be denied
I'm tired of waiting
I am overdue for a breakthrough

Oh, oh

You used to have me stumbling
Yeah, tripping again and again
But I've been studying you
And now I know you like the back of my hand
You can't keep me here
I've cried too many tears
Yeah, I've had enough
Now I'm gonna call you bluff
You made your bet, but the stage is set
Get ready cause I'm lighting the fuse

[Chorus:]
I'm feeling like a breakthrough is coming
I can see (that)
A breakthrough is coming, coming for me
Cause my heart, it was made to fly
Destiny can't be denied
I'm tired of waiting
I am overdue for a breakthrough

I can feel a breakthrough coming
I can feel a breakthrough coming
I can feel a breakthrough coming, coming
I can feel a breakthrough coming
I can feel a breakthrough coming
I can feel a breakthrough coming
I can feel a breakthrough coming

[Chorus:]
A breakthrough is coming
I can see that a breakthrough is coming, coming for me
Cause my heart, it was made to fly
Destiny can't be denied
I'm tired of waiting
I am overdue for a breakthrough

  Beautiful Mystery - Owl City

When I'm dressed to the nines, I'm just a shirt and tie
With a taste for prestige, and beautiful mystery.
Well, clever girls dressed to kill are pretty bittersweet,
And better-suited for grief than beautiful mystery.

Oh, beautiful mystery.

Fly by, feather.
This time, I'm not ready to die.
But I lose myself.
(Oh, oh, I'm falling for you! )

Now or never.
Stand back, 'cause I'm ready to fly.
But I lose myself.
(Oh, oh, I'm falling for you! )

She enjoys it the most, with flowers in her hair.
Dressin' up like a ghost for beautiful mystery.
So I kiss her goodnight, and stumble from the room.
Mighty high on mystique, and beautiful mystery.

Oh, beautiful mystery.

Fly by, feather.
This time, I'm not ready to die.
But I lose myself.
(Oh, oh, I'm falling for you! )

Now or never.
Stand back, 'cause I'm ready to fly.
But I lose myself.
(Oh, oh, I'm falling for you! )

Oh, oh, I'm falling for you!

Fly by, feather.
This time, I'm not ready to die.
But I lose myself.
(Oh, oh, I'm falling for you! )

Now or never.
Stand back, 'cause I'm ready to fly.
But I lose myself.
(Oh, oh, I'm falling for you! )

Fly by, feather.
This time, I'm not ready to die.
But I lose myself.
(Oh, oh, I'm falling for you! )

Now or never.
Stand back, 'cause I'm ready to fly.
But I lose myself.
(Oh, oh, I'm falling for you! )
