10. I'll Meet You There
Owl City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And talk forever just to pass the time
I would smile as the shivers and chills
Run down my spine
And your eyes are locked on mine
Oh, we'll fill the metro skies with country air
And when you close your tired eyes
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
Deep inside of you
There's a ruby glow
And it gets brighter
Than you and I will ever know
There's a rushing sound
That surrounds us
When we walk alone
And it's everything we've never known
(Wonder down the street and I will be the pavement beneath your feet)
If we could just be immobile for some time
And finally figure out the way we feel
About the missing puzzle pieces and cloudy question marks
That still look a bit surreal
Oh, I tend to disappear
Here and there
So concentrate and you'll feel me
Everywhere
And we'll fill the metro skies with country air
If you're lost when you close your eyes
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
You could be anywhere
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
You could be anywhere
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you there
Open your eyes and see
You could be anywhere
Everything you can be
I'll meet you there
Open your eyes and see
You could be anywhere
Everything you can be
I'll meet you there
The song "I'll Meet You There" by Owl City is a beautiful piece that talks about meeting someone in a dream-like world where everything is peaceful and filled with love. The lyrics tell us about the singer's desire to spend some temporary time with someone and talk about everything and anything if they could just sit together for a moment. They would spend their time filling the metro skies with country air and looking into each other's eyes until they feel shivers down their spine. The line "Deep inside of you, there's a ruby glow," suggests that there is something special and unique about the person they are with.
When they walk alone, they hear a rushing sound that surrounds them, and even though they feel lost and disappear at times, they believe that the other person can still sense and feel them everywhere. The singer tells their loved one not to worry if they are lost because they will meet them there in their dreams. The repetition of "I'll meet you there" emphasizes that they will always find a way to be together, even in their dreams.
The final lines of the song portray a sense of hope and the understanding that the future holds endless possibilities. It suggests that they could be anywhere, and the possibilities are endless. But no matter where they are or who they become, they will always meet each other there.

If we could sit together a moment
If only we could have a few moments to share with each other
And talk forever just to pass the time
Chatting all day long to make time fly by
I would smile as the shivers and chills
I'll feel happy as I get goosebumps
Run down my spine
It will make me excited and thrilled
And your eyes are locked on mine
As I gaze into your eyes intently
Oh, we'll fill the metro skies with country air
We'll transform our surroundings and make it feel like we're in the countryside
And when you close your tired eyes
And as you drift off to sleep exhausted
I'll meet you there
I'll be waiting for you in your dreams
If we could just be immobile for some time
If only we could just slow down and take a break
And finally figure out the way we feel
And then try to understand our emotions
About the missing puzzle pieces and cloudy question marks
About the unclear situations and unknown answers
That still look a bit surreal
That still seem a little unrealistic
Oh, I tend to disappear
Sometimes I tend to go away or feel invisible
Here and there
Every now and then
So concentrate and you'll feel me
So focus and you'll sense that I'm with you
Everywhere
All around you
And we'll fill the metro skies with country air
We'll change the city atmosphere to feel more natural and scenic
If you're lost when you close your eyes
If you ever feel lost or uncertain in your thoughts
I'll meet you there
I'll always be there to guide you or accompany you
You could be anywhere
You could be in a different place or frame of mind
Open your eyes and see
Look around and recognize your surroundings
Everything you can be
Take advantage of all your possibilities and opportunities
I'll meet you there
I'll always be there to support you and join you in your journey
