[Intro]
(Through the galaxies, through the galaxies...)
(Through the galaxies, through the galaxies...)
(Through the galaxies, through the galaxies...)

[Verse 1]
Call back the cap com, tick off the time bomb
Let felicity fly
Armor the airlock, blanket the bedrock
And kiss the planet goodbye (Through the galaxies...)

[Chorus]
Dear God, I was terribly lost
When the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark
But dear God, you're the only North Star
I would follow this far

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da... (Through the galaxies...)
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da
(Through the galaxies, through the galaxies...)
(Through the galaxies, through the galaxies...)
(Through the galaxies, through the galaxies...)

[Verse 2]
Fight back the flight deck, bring on the breakneck
Cue the solar eclipse (Sun went dark!)
Summit the sunset, dovetail the dragnet
And blow your backbone to bits (Through the galaxies...)

[Chorus]
Dear God, I was terribly lost
When the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark (Sun went dark!)
But dear God, you're the only North Star
I would follow this far

[Bridge]
Oh telescope, keep an eye on my only hope
Lest I blink and get swept off the narrow road
Hercules, you've got nothing to say to me
'Cause you're not the blinding light that I need
For he is the saving grace of the galaxies (Galaxies...)
He is the saving grace of the galaxies (Galaxies...)

[Chorus]
Dear God, I was terribly lost
When the galaxies crossed and the sun went dark (Sun went dark!)
But dear God, you're the only North Star
I would follow this far!

[Outro]
I would follow this far!
(Through the galaxies, through the galaxies...)
(Through the galaxies, through the galaxies...)
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da, da-da
Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Owl City

Originally making songs in his basement for his friends as Sky Sailing, Adam Young then discovered synth music and became Owl City, releasing two relatively unpopular albums Maybe I’m Dreaming and Of June before making his hit single “Fireflies” which made his third album as Owl City, Ocean Eyes a hit.

After this worldwide success he put on two more albums, All Things Bright and Beautiful in 2011, and The Midsummer Station in 2012. In 2014 he released an EP, Ultraviolet, composed of 4 songs whom one would appear on his following album, Mobile Orchestra. Retiring from Owl City in 2016 to focus on Adam Young Scores, a new project made of orchestral soundtracks about historic events, he reappeared in 2017 to tease his upcoming new album Cinematic, with the release of a series of three EPs, called Reel 1 , 2 and 3.
