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,
Till I look at my hands and feel sad,
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/o/owl_city/vanilla_twilight.html ]
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.
Right, superstar123, first, you can't spell insomniac and this song does not 'curse' anyone. Seriously, if you wrote a song, what would you write it about? It's not illigal to vent your feelings out through a song. Virtually every song is to do with love, just as this one is. Just because you don't like this song, you don't have to call the people 'tone-deaf toads'. This song is beautiful and so is fireflies. If you don't like it or owl city, why the hell did you look up the lyrics? If you don't like it, too damn bad, because there are people who do.
I think it's about a guy talking about love of his life. How they got separated i don't know but he surely misses her.
I'll send a postcard to you dear, cause i wish you were here. - did she move away? Oh if my voice could reach back through the past, i'd whisper in your ear,
oh darling i wish you were here. - or were they separated by time? Or death?
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. - smell has nostalgic effect on people. It brings back memories associated with the smell. I wonder why owl city chose vanilla. But it's my personal favorite. It brings me comfort and peace. Twilight is the most depressing and saddest part of the day. The sun is down, darkness creeps up. There's a sense of loss that the day is over. Perfect for brooding and reminiscing. But hope springs in the fact you know the sun will rise again tomorrow.
I love owl city. He has a way with words that they are more poetic than just song lyrics. I think he is sensitive, and most guys should follow his lead. I don't think you could fake the emotions conveyed in his song. He has captured what most of us feell and eloquently put it to music. The song is just beautiful, sad but beautiful.
Blaagh. No, i mean, beautiful song of course. But the lyrics are all wrong. Here's the real deal:
The stars lie down to kiss you
i like awake and miss ye
poor me, a heavy dose of atmosphere
cause i'll doze and safe and souny
but i'll miss your arms around me
i send a postcard to yadeer
cuz i wish you were here
I watch the night turn night blue
it's not the same withight you. Cause it takes two, two, whisper quieting. The sky it isn't so bad
till i look at my head and feel sad
cause the spaces bee tween my fingers
are right where yers fit perfectly.
I'll find response in you ways
thought i haven't kept in two days
caus cold nost algea a chills me to the bone. But drenched in vanilla twalight
i sit on my front por 'chall night
wait deep in thought cause when i think up you
i don't feel so alone [x 3]
When vine-net eyes get brighter
and heavenly wings grow whiter
i taste the spy and feel live again. And i forget the word that i knew
but i swear i won't forg atchoo

I think the girl the guy is suppose to be thinking about dead, and now he feels kinda lonely, thinking about their past experiences wishing she were alive with him today. And then when he dies he'll go to something like heaven and leave the world that he new, but will never forget her, the one he loved. Is that close?

It reminds me of my boyfriend sooo muchh i love him so much!!!

I think the song is about a guy miss his ex or his loved one that no longer around for him.
'if my voice could reach back through the past, i'd whisper in your ear, oh darling i wish you were here'
that indicated that the one he miss no longer there for him.
Beautiful lyrics
:d

I don't really know how to describe this song, but it makes me feel all warm and happy inside. Almost like the feeling when i'm with loved ones.

My meaning of this song is for my boyfriend that died in a car accident just 2 and a half years ago. This song means so much to me and i direct it to the meaning that he was once here and now not anymore. The song has parts of me and him that used to be, like the holding of eachothers hands... Now i look at the spaces between my finger tips and there isnt his hand there anymore! :(
They only way for me to survive is if i go to my special place.
If only my voice could reach back into the past and i would say that i love him more than anything there ever was to love!
