Owl City - Rainbow Veins lyrics
rate meHigh-rise, veins of the avenue.
Bright eyes in subtle variations of blue.
Everywhere is balanced there
like a rainbow above you.
Street lights glisten on the boulevard
and cold nights make staying alert so hard...
For heaven's sake, keep me awake
so I won't be caught off
guard.
Clearly, I
am a passerby
but I'll find a place to stay.
Dear pacific day, won't you take me away?
Small town, hearts of the New Year
brought down by gravity, crystal clear.
City fog and brave dialogue
converge on the frontier.
Make haste, I feel your heartbeat
with new taste for speed,
out on the street.
Find a road to a humble abode
where both of our routes meet.
The silver sound is all around
and the colours fall like snow.
The feeling of letting go,
I guess we'll never know.
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes,
and tell me when it rains
and I'll blend up that rainbow above you
and shoot it through your veins
'cause your heart has a lack of colour,
and we should've known
that we'd grow up sooner or later
'cause we wasted all our free time alone.
Your nerves gather with the altitude.
Exhale the stress so you don't come unglued.
Somewhere there
is a happy affair,
a ghost of a good mood.
Wide-eyed, panic on the getaway.
The high tide could take me so far away.
VCR's and motorcars
unite on the Seventh Day.
A popular gauge
will measure the rage
of the new Post-Modern Age
'cause somewhere along the line, all the decades align.
We were the crashing whitecaps
on the ocean.
What a lovely seaside holiday away...
a palm tree in Christmas lights.
My emotion
struck a sparkling tone like a xylophone
as we spent the day alone.
Cheer up and dry your damp eyes,
and tell me when it rains
and I'll blend up that rainbow above you
and shoot it through your veins
'cause your heart has a lack of colour,
and we should've known
that we'd grow up sooner or later
'cause we wasted all our free time alone.
