Owl City - Swimming In Miami lyrics
[Owl City - Swimming In Miami lyrics]
I'm alone above the atmosphere
And no one looking up can find me here
'Cause I can close my eyes and disappear
When I climb the stairs to watch the sun
Above the station walls, the colors run
To fill the swimming pool when I am done
I am the captain of an oil
Tanker that travels through your veins
When the satellites hang all around
And I can finally hear the lovely sound
When all the engines in the backroom die down
All the airships move across the sky
And my equipment just keeps standing by
The planets glow and intensify
I am the pilot of a cargo
Airplane that travels through your veins
When you are lying half asleep in your room
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
It could be raining
But then you can never tell
If you're alone in this awful downpour
Then struggle free and paddle
Out the cellar door
In the evening light, the boulevard
Conceals the night with disregard
For all the workers in
The West coast shipyard
When I rearrange the silverware
And re-install the lights in captain's chair
I'll lift the ceiling off to
Breathe the ocean air
I am the engineer of forty freight
Trains that travel through your veins
When you are lying half asleep in your room
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
It could be raining
But then you can never tell
If you're awake in this awful downpour
Then struggle free and paddle
Out the cellar door
When you are swimming in Miami at night
I'm all around you in the
Traffic and city light
And no one looking up can find me here
'Cause I can close my eyes and disappear
When I climb the stairs to watch the sun
Above the station walls, the colors run
To fill the swimming pool when I am done
I am the captain of an oil
Tanker that travels through your veins
When the satellites hang all around
And I can finally hear the lovely sound
When all the engines in the backroom die down
All the airships move across the sky
And my equipment just keeps standing by
The planets glow and intensify
I am the pilot of a cargo
Airplane that travels through your veins
When you are lying half asleep in your room
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
It could be raining
But then you can never tell
If you're alone in this awful downpour
Then struggle free and paddle
Out the cellar door
In the evening light, the boulevard
Conceals the night with disregard
For all the workers in
The West coast shipyard
When I rearrange the silverware
And re-install the lights in captain's chair
I'll lift the ceiling off to
Breathe the ocean air
I am the engineer of forty freight
Trains that travel through your veins
When you are lying half asleep in your room
Unaware if it is midnight or afternoon
Because the water doesn't flood the stairwell
It could be raining
But then you can never tell
If you're awake in this awful downpour
Then struggle free and paddle
Out the cellar door
When you are swimming in Miami at night
I'm all around you in the
Traffic and city light
