Eternity
Paul Van Dyk feat. Adam Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I lift off
When both my feet leave the ground
Will you be there where the skyline ends?
When I take flight
When the blackest night calls me home
Will you be there when the dream begins?

The smallest drop in the ocean
Can start a wave of emotion
My dear, I wish I could hold you safe in my arms
From here to eternity

Alone I'll know you'll be waiting
When the moon beams lean down to kiss me
Cause your beauty burns through the darkness
Crystal and clear
From here to eternity

When I let go
When I release all my cares
Will you be there where the nightmare ends?
When I drift off
When the silver sun calls my name
Will you be there where the light begins?

The smallest drop in the ocean
Can start a wave of emotion
My dear, I wish I could hold you safe in my arms
From here to eternity

Alone I'll know you'll be waiting
When the moon beams lean down to kiss me
Cause your beauty burns through the darkness




Crystal and clear
From here to eternity

True owl city fans will love him forever. Yes, it is okay to reminisce about his old songs but Adam is evolving as are we. His new songs have deep meaning and it is still exactly what I expect when I turn on a track of his. Beautiful, sweet, wonderous music. Thank you Adam, for such a wonderful impact you have made on me. Can't wait to see you in OHIO!!!! I wish I could meet you.

Pablo Escalante - Well, to be fair, this really is more of a PvD sound than Owl City.
