Owl City - Swimming In Miami Lyrics






I'm alone above the atmosphere
And no one looking up can find me here
'Cause I can close my eyes and disappear

When I climb the stairs to watch the sun
Above the station walls the colors run
To fill the swimming pool when I am done

I am the captain of an oil tanker that travels through your veins

When the satellites hang all around
And I can finally hear a lovely sound
When all the engines in the back room die down

All the airships move across the sky
And my equipment just keeps standing by
The planets glow and intensify

I am the pilot of a cargo airplane that travels through your veins

When you are lying half-asleep in your room
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon

Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
It could be raining but then you can never tell

If you're alone in this awful downpour
Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door

In the evening light the boulevard
Conceals the night with disregard
For all the workers in a west coast ship yard

When I rearrange the silverware
And re-install the lights in captain's chair
I'll lift the ceiling off to breathe the ocean air

I am the engineer of forty freight trains that travel through your veins

When you are lying half asleep in your room
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon

Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
It could be raining but then you can never tell

If you're awake in this awful downpour
Then struggle free and paddle out the cellar door

When you are swimming in Miami at night
I'm all around you in the traffic and city lights

    My heart throbs. The unique feeling that Owl City gives me is like nothing in any other music. And this is coming from someone whose #1 favorite band is twenty one pilots. Even they can't give me that same feeling. It's a sweet throb of pain, something like joy mixed with sadness. . . or is it longing? Or nostalgia? Memories of every happy moment I ever lived all in one warm bundle, and yet a deep longing ache for something I've never had, just out of reach, like missing a friend you never had or a home where you never lived.

    You put it perfectly. It's amazing. Part of me hates how underrated he is but part of me loves how much of a sweet secret he is that I can enjoy, knowing how much people are missing out on all the feels Adam puts out.

    @Matthew Thompson it's weird, but when i hear Owl City music, it makes me feel like a child in a world full of mistery to discover.
    Also, Adam Young is charismatic, he really loved making music for us, even if he had just a small public at that time.

    I.... s....

    Nostalgia.

    why is my favorite song so underrated to people?
    I'm 24 now still can't get over with Owl City music.

  9. M.... F....

    Honestly one of, if not my favorite Owl City song. I used to start my mornings in High School listening to this as the sun would come up driving to school. It’s such a nice way to start the day.
