Be Brave
Owl City Lyrics

In the basement of an empty house
In a desolate place, devoid of warmth and life

I slept on the floor like a vagrant
I found solace in the humbleness of my surroundings, embracing my transient state

I braved a Minnesota winter night
I confronted the harshness of a cold and lonely night in Minnesota

And drove to a movie feeling lonely
In search of connection, I ventured to a movie alone, consumed by loneliness

And as I thawed my heart out by the light
As the cinematic glow warmed my frozen heart

Of the silver screen
Of the captivating images projected onto the movie screen

I was unaware that you were there
Unknowingly, you were also in that same space

In the dark, a silhouette
A shadowy figure emerged from the darkness

Was climbing up the stairs
Quietly ascending the steps towards me

And what I thought
Amidst my contemplations

In the parking lot
While standing in the secluded parking area

Was like, I just wanna know your name
I felt a strong desire, yearning to discover your identity

I drove away
Leaving that place behind

With not much to say
Without exchanging many words

But in my hand I held a paper bird
Yet, I clutched a fragile creation, a symbol of courage

And written on it were the words
Containing a message that resonated deeply with me

Be brave
Summoning the strength to face challenges and embrace vulnerability

Wildflower knew I wasn't well
This delicate flower understood the pain within me

But on the kitchen floor I got better again
In the comfort of the kitchen, I found healing and renewal

I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star
Seizing the opportunity, I embarked towards a distant dream

And there, I was understood for the first time in my life
In that moment, I experienced true empathy and comprehension, unlike ever before

'Cause that's when I was introduced to true
Because it was then that I encountered genuine

Serendipity
Serendipitous synchronicity and unexpected connection

I knew it when
I recognized it at the moment

You showed up again
When you reappeared in my life

In the snow, I was always told
Growing up, I learned that in snow-covered landscapes

Your heart is where you're home
One's true sense of belonging resides within their heart

And what I thought
My thoughts were filled with

In the coffee shop
While sitting in the cozy coffee establishment

Was like, the last eight hours was a dream
It felt as if the previous eight hours were a surreal and fantastical reverie

I drove away
I departed from that place

With not much to say
Without finding the right words to express myself

But in my hand I held a paper bird
Nevertheless, I clung to a delicate creation, a symbol of resilience

And written on it were the words
Containing a heartfelt message inscribed onto its surface

Oh oh oh oh
Melodic interlude

Okay, I'll be brave
Alright, I will summon my courage

And in my mind
Within the realm of my thoughts

After all this time
Despite the passage of countless moments

I think, ain't life beautiful and strange
I believe that life is both remarkably beautiful and wonderfully perplexing

I'm blown away
I am overwhelmed with awe

With no words to say
Unable to find the appropriate expression

'Cause I, I'll forever be amazed
For I will eternally be astounded

How I learned the meaning of the phrase
At long last, I comprehended the significance behind the words

Be brave
Summoning the courage to face life's uncertainties and embrace authenticity

Be brave
To be courageous and steadfast even in the face of fear and doubt
