[Verse 1]
I'm moving to Tokyo
'Cause I'm tired of San Francisco
My contracts are finally void
And I am getting out

[Verse 2]
On houses and building tops
I swallow the beams and sun drops
If my echoes can reach your ears
Then I could save my calls
What happens when I'm above
The East river when you are in love
We're staring at all these lights
And I am going blind

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Fill all of the navy yards
With hard working security guards
'Cause the numbers are wearing off
My plastic access cards
How can I begin to say
I feel better off when we stay
In Paris on winter nights
Beneath the snowy veil

[Verse 4]
Content like a panda bear
Still breathing the fresh mountain air
I'll put on a diving tank
And sing when I inhale

[Outro]

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.
