Honey and the BeeOwl City

Released: June 14, 2011

Featuring: Breanne Düren

Songwriter: Adam Young

Producer: Adam Young

[Verse 1: Adam Young & Breanne Düren ]
Don't remind me
That some days I'm a windshield
And other days I'm just a lucky bug
As cold iron rails leave
Old mossy trails through the countryside
The crow and the bean field
Are my best friends but
Boy, I need a hug (boy, I need a hug)

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Young]
'Cause my heart stops without you
There's something about you
That makes me feel alive

[Chorus: Adam Young & Breanne Düren]
If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand
Would your eyes get wide?
Who knew the other side could be so green?

[Verse 2: Breanne Düren]
Don't remind me
I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
\`Cause when the stars silhouette me
I'm scared they'll forget me
And flicker out
I taste honey but I haven't seen the hive
Yeah I didn't look, I didn't even try

[Pre-Chorus: Breanne Düren]
But still my heart stops without you
'Cause there's something about you
That makes me feel alive

[Chorus: Adam Young & Breanne Düren]
If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand
Would your eyes get wide?
Who knew the other side could be so green?

[Verse 3: Adam Young & Breanne Düren]
We are honey and the bee
Backyard of butterflies surrounded me
I fell in love with you
Like bees to honey
So let's up
And leave the weeping to the willow tree
And pour our tears in the sea
I swear there's a lot of vegetables out there
That crop up for air
And yet I never thought
We were two peas in a pod
Until you suddenly bloomed
Then I knew
That I'd always love you
Oh, I'll always love you too

[Chorus: Adam Young & Breanne Düren]
If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand
Would your eyes get wide?
Who knew the other side could be so green?
If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand
Would your eyes get wide?
Who knew the other side could be so green?

[Outro: Adam Young & Breanne Düren]
And if I reached for your hand
For the rest of my life
Who knew the other side could be so green?

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.
