On the Wing by Owl City

Intro:
    (x6)

Verse 1:
                                      
Breathe and I'll carry you away into the velvet sky,
    
And we'll stir the stars 
                                      
Around and watch them fall away into the Hudson Bay
                 
And plummet out of sight and
                                          
Sound. The open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
      
Where I live in the Alpine
                                           
Heights below the northern lights. I spend my coldest nights
                                   
Alone awake and thinking of the weekend we were in love.

Verse 2 (same as Verse 1):
Home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
A thousand miles from the 
Tide. Put photos on the walls of New York shopping malls.
Distract me so I stay 
Inside. I wish the rocket stayed over the promenade
'Cuz I would make a hook, and 
I fish them from the sky. My darling she and I
Were hanging on, so take us high to sing the world goodbye.

Chorus:
           
I am floating away, 
                
Lost in a silent ballet.
                                        
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you.
                           
 Awake to take in the view.
                     
Late nights and early parades,
                     
Still photos and noisy arcades.
                                           
My darling we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing,
                    
 And we can go anywhere

Bridge 2:
              
Are you there?
                            
Are you there, or are you just a decoy 
         
Dream in my head?
               
Am I home or am I simply 
           
Tumbling out alone?

Chorus:
I am floating away, 
Lost in a silent ballet.
I'm dreaming you're out in the blue and I am right beside you.
Awake to take in the view.
Late nights and early parades,
Still photos and noisy arcades.
My darling we're both on the wing Look down and keep on singing,
And we can go anywhere
 
                 
Are you there?
                 
Are you there?
