Owl City - The Bird And The Worm Lyrics






If you're the bird
Whenever we pretend it's summer
Then I'm the worm
I know the part, it's such a bummer

But fair is fair
If my segments get separated
I'll scream
And you'll be there

Close your eyes
(Close my eyes)
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder
And feel the shine
(Feel the shine)
I'm hooked so toss me over
And cast a line
(Well, I'll try)
I'll throw a party and greet my undersea friends
(It depends)
As they arrive
(If they arrive)

You and I left our troubles far behind
(Troubles far behind)
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends like these, well,
Who needs enemies?

If I'm your boy
Let's take a shortcut we remember
And we'll enjoy
Picking apples in late September like
We've done for years
Then we'll take a long walk
Through the cornfield
And I'll kiss you
Between the ears

If you're my girl
Swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl
The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us
As love sweeps over the room
'Cause we tend to make
Each other blush
(you make me blush)

You and I left our troubles far behind
(Troubles far behind)
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With fronds like these, well,
Who needs anemones?

You're the bird, I'm the worm
And it's plain to see
That we were meant to be

We were meant to be
We were meant to be
(If you're the bird,
If you're the bird,
Then I'm the worm)
We were meant to be

Owl City The Bird And The Worm Comments
  1. F.... A....

    Poor guy. The 1st verse is about what is actually happening to him, eaten whether with his lover on land or in the sea with his friends. At least on land he is not suffocating though (abused).

    2nd verse is like he ask the girl to treat him nicely with love, as a guy and a girl would do.

    And all of the music tone and mode tell us that he is keeping in faith of the love, keeping his smiles though it is rough. He has faith that they are meant to be.

    F.... A....

    Yet he said "fair is fair..."

    Owl City has been with me for a long time, I became a fan around 2009, and i've loved em ever since. Even when I was all edgy and mcr n stuff, i still loved laying back and listening to owl city. this song makes me nostalgic in the good way, and i remember when i was first captivated with his voice. somethings, never change.

  80. G.... C....

    First time I listened to this, I didn't realize that it was on 1.25 speed. Actually, it sounds really good either way

  81. E.... R....

    Dude, you should make a video of the new song, Humbug.

    E.... R....

    That'd be cute!

  82. R.... ....

    Making being decapitated romantic since awesome was a thing

  83. p.... m....

  84. M.... B....

    Awww I love the way you drew the bird!

  85. J.... R....

    I remember, about a year ago when I was diagnosed with depression, I typed happy music into youtube.

    This came up. No regrets at all. It filled me with hope.

    J.... R....

    Are you feeling better cause I want to know how to get through it I feel sad all the time but try to be happy. :)

    J.... R....

    me too , but not htis oneall of them

    J.... R....

    Sorry for the late reply. It's not an easy question to answer, but what I would say is don't try and fight it too hard. You could maybe watch a light-hearted film or TV show. Also, give yourself time to get out of your head. For example, you could go for a run, or go to the gym. Any type of exercise really. You could also make some time to do something productive, like drawing. I say drawing because that's what I did. What best suits you really. Also, remember that you're not alone.

  86. M.... S....

    Seriously, what is this?

    M.... S....

    This is a Youtube Video.

  87. T.... F....

    Shoutouts to SiIvaflips.
