[Chorus: Adam Young & (Big Boi)]
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I’ll never know what’s up ahead (You never know)
I’m never letting go
I’m never letting go

[Verse 1: Big Boi]
Never letting go, although sometimes I slip
Like banana peels for heels, my skill is so legit
Notice this - every time I pick the microphone and spit
Eyes wide, ears open like you're on a doctor's visit
But this ain't physics or rocket science
This is a little tune to keep you motivated and inspired
I am not a motivational speaker, but people get easily motivated When they hear B-I-G wreakin'
Havoc on this mic, block rabbit holding tight out
Sit and growl with me - cruising, grooving through the night skies
Put your fly bowtie, make my mark like the craters on the moon Rockin' alligator shoes

[Chorus: Adam Young & (Big Boi)]
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I'll never know what’s up ahead (you never know)
I’m never letting go
I’m never letting go

[Bridge: Big Boi & (Adam Young)]
Ro-roller coaster through the atmosphere
(I'm drowning in this starry serenade)
Where ecstasy becomes cavalier
(My imagination's taking me away)
Reverie whispered in my ear
(I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid)
I'm on a roller coaster through the atmosphere
(My imagination's taking me away)

[Verse 2: Big Boi]
Ta-ta-taking me away like Calgon in a bubble bath
You gon' need the Hubble telescope to see where the landing gear stops
Can the tear drops?
The commander of the space shuttle to end me fear, no
The final frontier, flashlight in the abyss
This little light of mine gon' shine above your distant
Cross it off your bucket list, destiny fulfilled
Be a fish out of water, live your life full of thrills

[Chorus: Adam Young & (Big Boi)]
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I’ll never know what’s up ahead (You never know)
I’m never letting go
I’m never letting go
Where was I when the rockets came to life
And carried you away into the alligator sky?
Even though I’ll never know what’s up ahead (You never know)
I’m never letting go
I’m never letting go (Letting go)

[Outro: Big Boi]
Okay, take me away
Where all the wild things go, we say
Okay, take me away
Where all the wild things go
Okay, take me away
Where all the wild things go, we say
Okay, take me away
Where all the wild things go

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.
