Owl City - Vanilla Twilight Lyrics

Artist: Owl City

Album: Ocean Eyes

  • Songwriters: Adam R Young

The stars lean down to kiss you
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 through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

    This song... I found out what it meant yesterday. Apparently his fiance died before they got married or something? I don't know exactly, but that's so sad! It makes me cry when I really think about what the words mean. I am not in love yet, but I know that it must be hard to lose someone you really care about. Owl City, you are amazing. Keep up the good work Buddy. x]

    I really love this song. It is adorable, but also sad in a way. A friend of mine lost his fiance' last summer while they were vacationing in washington I believe it was. A few days ago we were listening to music and when this song came up he burst into tears. All he could think about was his fiance' and how much he missed her.

    This is a beautiful song. I hope Owl City is succesful. Although I would light to no what a Vanilla Twilight is, is it like a blue moon?
