[Chorus]
Hey Anna, he’s just a boy you won’t understand if you try
So, hey Anna, smile when he’s holding your hand tonight
Hey Anna, remember when you’re wishing away your life
Hey, hey Anna, everything is going to turn out just fine
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

[Verse 1]
Such a hot crush
Makes your face blush
But try to take your time
Because every goose chase
Makes your heart race
And then you wonder why?

[Pre-Chorus]
So wait for the home run
You’ll find the right one
And you’ll figure this all out
Life is a mind game
Love is a blind date
And it’s making your heart pound

[Chorus]
Hey Anna, he’s just a boy you won’t understand if you try
So, hey Anna, smile when he’s holding your hand tonight
Hey Anna, remember when you’re wishing away your life
Hey, hey Anna, everything is going to turn out just fine

[Verse 2]
Waking up sad
Isn’t so bad
If you look outside
Because all the signs say
That it’s a new day
And you were so alive

[Pre-Chorus]
So wait for the home run
You’ll find the right one (you got it-got it now)
And you’ll figure this all out
Life is a mind game
Love is a blind date
And it’s making your heart pound

[Bridge]
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

[Chorus]
Hey Anna, he’s just a boy you won’t understand if you try
So, hey Anna, smile when he’s holding your hand tonight
Hey Anna, remember when you’re wishing away your life
Hey, hey Anna, everything is going to turn out just fine
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

[Outro]
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh
Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-whoa-oh

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.
