[Verse 1]
I tried to disappear
But you're the only reason I'm floating here
Eyes painted crystal clear
I can see our future through the atmosphere

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you go, no, don't you go
Don't you know I'm up here alone
Yeah, I am like a satellite
Sending you a signal tonight

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love

[Verse 2]
You were so hard to find
With oh, so many clouds across my summer sky
You, my constellation prize
Yeah, every single star is sparkling in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
So, don't you go, no, don't you go
Because don't you know I'm up here alone
Yeah, so high, like a satellite
I'm sending you a signal tonight

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love

[Bridge]
One track, one mind, one race to win
One start, one heart, one life to live
One track, one mind, one race to win
One start, one heart, one life to live

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love
Oh, oh, oh like a streak of light
Oh, oh, oh watch the world fly by
Oh, oh, oh rev your engine up
Everybody's racing at the speed of love

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.
