Owl City- If my heart was a house (lyrics)

[@willardfred5858]

Most singers sing about the lows of life. They sing about drug addictions, sexual promiscuity and the consequences, money, and other fleeting sources of happiness. however, I love Owl City because Adam sings about the true source of happiness. Joy. His music emanates with joy. It is impossible to not have lifted spirits after listening to his melodies. You might have a different opinion (regarding your religious beliefs etc), but I truly believe that Adam Young has an anointing form God on his music to bring joy to people. In this world where darkness, fear, and depression are everywhere, Owl City truly is a city on a hill; a bright shining light in the midst of the music industry.

[@aviechan]

Aaron Thompson The thing I love about Owl City is that he writes songs about what he feels and also personifies a lot of inanimate things to make them feel what he thinks they might be feeling. He also has done songs where he felt alone and heartbroken so we too can relate but also feel lifted from the hurt. He’s loved and lost but still despite that, he creates music that people love and appreciate. It’s timeless in my opinion and I’ve been listening to him for almost 9 years. And... I’ll listen to Adam’s music until the day I die. I’m sure plenty others feel the same as I do :)

And this Joy is from God no other source provides it.

Adam Young has a way of singing that makes him seem like a friend and his song like an embrace. Amazing.

[@emaweber5185]

I walked down the aisle to this, but I didn't come out until 2:55 (I had my brides maids walking down earlier in the song). It was definately a magical moment and this song will forever have that special place in my heart

[@olicha5988]

That is the most beautiful thing I've read today

[@katiewiebe512]

This gave my shivers because I was imagining it as I was listening! I'm sure you were so beautiful

[@ps3master72]

That is so adorable 😍 I am definitely putting this on my future wedding playlist and me and my darling may walk down the isle to this song as well! 💏 I know me and my future girlfriend/wife will like Owl City because it seems like kind-hearted gentle sweet caring people are naturally drawn to his wholesome music because Adam is so wholesome and kind! Honestly if the girl doesn't like Owl City there is most likely no chance haha

I think any time of day is best for Owl City.

[@talondiwisch5206]

One of the best Owl City songs and one of the best songs in existence.

[@Essy367]

This song makes me feel as though I'm in the process of falling in love with someone, yet afraid of admitting it in fear of rejection. It's almost as though you're longing for that special person to stand by your side, almost painfully so, and yet are holding back from making a move for whatever reason.

[@Shakabrassiere]

Same..but not all poety and stuff

[@kristenamethyst1505]

same here. life can be a mess but u just have to deal with it and hope u survive (which might not happen if you fall in love and get rejected)

After so many years I stills get chills when I hear this song, mixed up with all the fantasies I've ever had about being with my soulmate. Makes me realize just how romantic I am :D if I could hug a song, it would be this one, you just get lost in it, how could anyone not be touched by it?

I think of lying down in the grass while being with my lover and daydreaming all day and Making shapes out of he clouds as we laugh, kiss, hug and enjoy the simple things, like the dandelions. I'm so cheesy I know :D but this song reminds me of all of this

[@Shellzilla]

I first heard this in middle school and now about to finish my first semester in college I still love this song and could sing along to the music without looking at the lyrics.

[@silverdarling2]

I remember when my mom would be in the hospital for days on end in the epilepsy section, things there are rough and sleep isn't something people can get. So I would sit in a chair almost all night listening to this and other owl city songs. Thanks dude for helping me sleep and get through possibly one of the hardest thing I've been through at a young age.

You're the sky that I fell through And I remember the view whenever I'm holding you The sun hung from a string Looking down on the world as it warmed over everything Chills run down my spine as our fingers intwine And your sides harmonize with mine Unmistakably I can still feel your heart Beat fast when you dance with me We got older and I should have known (Do you feel alive?) That I'd feel colder when I walk alone (Oh, but you'll survive) So I may as well ditch my dismay (Bombs away Bombs away) Circle me and the needles moves gracefully Back and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be North Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall Wherever you go, if my heart was a house you'd be home It makes me smile because you said it best I would clearly feel blessed if the sun rose up from the west Flower balm perfume, all my clothes smell like you Cause your favorite shade is navy blue I walk slowly when I'm on my own (Do you feel alive?) Yeah, but frankly I still feel alone (Oh, but you'll survive) So I may as well ditch my dismay (Bombs away Bombs away) Circle me and the needles moves gracefully Back and forth, if my heart was a compass you'd be North Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall Wherever you go, if my heart was a house you'd be home If my heart was a house, you'd be home

"If my heart was a compass, you'd be North." I wonder if Adam got this quote from Airborn by Kenneth Oppel; since he did an entire unreleased album inspired by that series with his Port Blue side project.

According to TV Tropes, Adam's a big fan of the "Airborn" series.

[@pecan_8310]
