Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't too sure what I believe in
But I believe in what I see
And when I close my eyes
I see my whole life ahead of me
These are our hours (these are our hours)
This is our time (this is our time)
This is our time
These are our hours (these are our hours)
Out on the verge (out on the verge)
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives (the rest of our lives)

Out on the verge of the rest of our lives tonight
Top of the world and we're dressed to the nines tonight
Edge of the earth and we're touching the sky tonight
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives

These are our hours (these are our hours)
This is our time (this is our time)
These are our hours (these are our hours)
Out on the verge
Out on the verge
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives

Out on the verge of the rest of our lives tonight
Top of the world and we're dressed to the nines tonight
Edge of the earth and we're touching the sky tonight
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives

(For the rest of our lives)

From now on
There's no looking back
Full steam ahead
On this one way track
From this day forward
I will make promise
To be true to myself
And always be honest
For the rest of my life
I will do what's right
I will do what's right
When I step

Out on the verge of the rest of our lives tonight
Top of the world and we're dressed to the nines tonight
Edge of the earth and we're touching the sky tonight
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives (the rest of our lives)

The rest of our lives




Edge of the earth and we're touching the sky tonight
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives

I love how throughout the video the people start disappearing from the room -- you know, going and painting, doing photography, writing on the blackboards-- doing what they want to do with their lives, until it's just Adam and Aloe Blacc in the room singing, because, that's what they did with their lives. That was their passion, how they touched the world. They didn't need to go anywhere because that's what "the rest of their lives" was all about.

Owl City must be one of the most underrated artists in music. His songs are so powerful, with meaningful lyrics and they really hype me up dancewise.

@mylifeed360

And I hope it stays this way because if his music comes out in the radio they would make him not only over rated but they would also kill the meaning to his songs

@Endp0ny0427

I still remember the last time i heard fireflies on the radio... that was the last of my childhood drifting off into a world of complete sh*t
