[Verse 1]
In the basement of an empty house
I slept on the floor like a vagrant
I braved a Minnesota winter night
And drove to a movie feeling lonely

And as I thawed my heart out by the light
Of the silver screen
I was unaware that you were there
In the dark, a silhouette
Was climbing up the stairs

And what I thought
In the parking lot
Was like, I just wanna know your name
I drove away
With not much to say
But in my hand I held a paper bird
And written on it were the words
Be brave

[Verse 2]
Wildflower knew I wasn’t well
But on the kitchen floor I got better again
I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star
And there, I was understood for the first time in my life

Cause that’s when I was introduced to true
Serendipity
I knew it when
You showed up again
In the snow, I was always told
Your heart is where you’re home

And what I thought
In the coffee shop
Was like, the last eight hours was a dream
I drove away
With not much to say
But in my hand I held a paper bird
And written on it were the words

Ok, I'll be brave
Ok, I'll be brave

[Verse 3]
And in my mind
After all this time
I think, ain't life beautiful and strange
I’m blown away
With no words to say
Cause I, I’ll forever be amazed
How I learned the meaning of the phrase
Be brave

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.
