Owl City might just be my newfound obsession. Of course you’ve all heard of the hit, Fireflies. A touch of whimsy and a huge dose of magic, yes? This song is no less amazing - Vanilla Twilight :)
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’d 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
’til 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
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
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 to the past
i’d whisper in your ear
oh darling i wish you were here.
FYI:
Owl City is an American synthpop musical project by a man named Adam Young. Adam started out making music in his parents’ basement in Owatonna, Minnesota, which he claims is a result of his insomnia.
Hence the name Owl City, I presume.. Please get more insomnia episodes then, Adam! ♥
