Vanilla Twilight
Owl City Lyrics

The stars lean down to kiss you
I'm imagining the stars bending down just to kiss you and how special you are.

And I lie awake and miss you
I can't sleep because I miss you so much right now.

Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
I want to feel completely surrounded by everything around me, just so I can forget missing you.

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
I know I'll fall asleep and be okay, but I'll still miss you.

But I'll miss your arms around me
Even though I'll fall asleep, I'll still think about how much I miss being in your arms.

I'd send a postcard to you, dear
If I could figure out a way to tell you how much I miss you, I would.

'Cause I wish you were here
I desperately want you to be here with me.

I'll watch the night turn light blue
As the night sky fades from black to blue, I'll keep watching and wishing you were here.

But it's not the same without you
Nothing is quite right or good enough without you here with me.

Because it takes two to whisper quietly
Whispering is something that should only be done with two people, because whispers are meant to be shared.

The silence isn't so bad
Even though it's quiet and I feel so alone, it's not unbearable.

'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
When I'm reminded of you and how we fit together, I get really sad again.

'Cause the spaces between my fingers
I miss you so much that the spaces between my fingers where your hand should be feel empty and wrong.

Are right where yours fit perfectly
I remember how perfectly our hands fit together and how happy that made me feel.

I'll find repose in new ways
I'm trying to find new ways to feel better and less alone without you.

Though I haven't slept in two days
I've been so sad and lonely that I haven't been able to sleep for two whole days.

'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
I'm remembering such happy times with you that it almost hurts, it's so cold and lonely without you.

But drenched in vanilla twilight
But when I'm sitting in the soft, warm light of vanilla twilight, everything feels a little bit better.

I'll sit on the front porch all night
I'll sit on the porch all night, wrapped in the warmth of the night and the hope that you might come back to me.

Waist deep in thought because when
I'll be lost in thought as I remember you and everything you mean to me.

I think of you I don't feel so alone
Just the thought of you helps me feel less alone and more hopeful.

I don't feel so alone
When I think of you, it's like you're here with me and I don't feel so alone anymore.

As many times as I blink
No matter how many times I blink, you'll still be on my mind tonight.

I'll think of you tonight
All my thoughts tonight are going to be about you and how much I wish you were here with me.

When violet eyes get brighter
I'm imagining you right now, and how beautiful your eyes look when they're bright and full of light.

And heavy wings grow lighter
I'm imagining how amazing it must feel for you to fly, light and free, with the weight of the world lifted from your shoulders.

I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
When I think of you, I feel like I can do anything, like taste the sky and feel alive again.

And I'll forget the world that I knew
Everything around me fades away when I'm thinking of you, and I'm lost in a world where nothing else matters.

But I swear I won't forget you
Even though I'm lost in thought and imagining all these things, I promise I won't ever forget how much you mean to me or how much I miss you.

Oh if my voice could reach back through the past
If I could time travel, I'd do anything to talk to you and make sure you knew how special you are to me.

I'd whisper in your ear,
I'd whisper something sweet and loving into your ear, to let you know how much you mean to me.

"Oh darling I wish you were here"
I wish you were here with me tonight, because nothing feels quite right or good enough without you.
