第五名——West Coast Friendship

打榜理由:出自《Maybe I'm Dreaming》专辑。早期Owl City歌曲还是偏重孩子气一些的歌词,但是依然难掩其清新阳光气息!west coast friendship,榜单第五名!

歌词:
are you out there
where the rainy days begin
to feel rather sad
and the walls are closing in
like the darkness around me
it's so hard to look away
when the daylight doesn't ever stay
above this dull apartment view
oh, i will surround you
it's quite clear that i'm stuck here
so i'll devise a plan
and cut out a door in my new living room floor
the porch light is so bright
that i will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape
of the rusty fire escape
i bought a one way ticket
cause i knew i'd never see the ground
unless i was aboard a jet plane
and we were going down
when i wiped the tears from my eyes
the warm water took me by surprise
and i woke up beside the ocean
i realized i must be in california
aloha, my happy west coast friends
do you feel alive
when the breaking waves arrive
and wash all around you
the beach homes and ocean side
are quite well known by the evening tide
and we can sleep where we reside
with redwoods around us
the blue air is up there
and could i bring it down
i bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night
i bought a one way ticket
cause i knew i'd never see the ground
unless i was aboard a jet plane
and we were going down
when i wiped the tears from my eyes
the warm water took me by surprise
and i woke up beside the ocean
i realized i must be in california
i must be in california
am i awake or is this just a dream?
the new year is out here
and i will make a lovely list
of your charms
so i'll never feel alone in your arms
i must be in california

第四名——Hello Seatle

打榜理由:同样出自dreaming专辑的这首hello seattle朗朗上口,窃以为是最适合沐浴或者逛街的时候听的歌曲!

歌词:

hello seattle, i am a mountaineer
in the hills and highlands
i fall asleep in hospital parking lots
and awake in your house
hello seattle, i am a manteray
deep beneath the blue waves
i'll crawl the sandy bottom of puget sound
and construct a summer home
hello seattle, i am the cresant moon
shining down on your face
i will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
and descend inside of you
hello seattle, i am a cold seahorse
feeling warm in your sand
i sing about the tide and the ocean surf
rolling in the evening breeze
hello seattle, i am an albatross
on the docks and your boats
i sail above your inlets and interstates
through the rain and open wind
hello seattle, i am an old lighthouse
throwing beams of bright lights
red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
taken heed from everyone
hello seattle, i am a mountaineer
in the hills and highlands
i fall asleep in hospital parking lots
take me above your light
carry me through the night
hold me secure in flight
sing me to sleep tonight
take me above your light
carry me through the night
hold me secure in flight
sing me to sleep tonight

第三名——On the Wing

打榜理由:来自专辑《ocean eyes》,电子音乐节奏明快,歌词引人入胜,更唱出了御风飞翔,自由驰骋的畅快感觉,探花位置实至名归!

歌词:

breathe and i'll carry you away into the velvet sky
and we'll stir the stars around
and watch them fall away into the hudson bay
and plummet out of sight and sound
the open summer breeze will sweep you through the hills
where i live in the alpine heights
below the northern lights, i spend my coldest nights
alone, awake and thinking of...the weekend we were in love
home among these mountain tops can be so awfully dull
a thousand miles from the tide
but photos on the walls of new york shopping malls
distract me so i stay inside
i wish the rockets stayed over the promenade
cuz i would make a hook and eye
and fish them from the sky, my darling, she and i
we're hanging on so take us high
to sing the world goodbye:
i am floating away
lost in a silent ballet
i'm dreaming you're out in the blue and i am right beside you
awake to take in the view
late nights and early parades
still photos and noisy arcades
my darling, we're both on the wing, look down and keep on singing!
and we can go anywhere
are you there'
are you there, or are you just a decoy dream in my head'
am i home or am i simply tumbling all alone'
i am floating away
lost in a silent ballet
i'm dreaming you're out in the blue and i am right beside you
awake to take in the view
late nights and early parades
still photos and noisy arcades
my darling, we're both on the wing, look down and keep on singing!
and we can go anywhere
are you there'

第二名——Vanilla Twilight

打榜理由:出自专辑《ocean eyes》,空降billboard排行榜冠军位置,实力之强大不容小觑。此曲也让owl city红遍全球,甚至超越了早期对唱作品《the saltwater room》。恭喜攻占榜眼位!

歌词:

the stars lean down to kiss you
and i lie awake and miss you
pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'cause i'll doze off safe and soundly
but i'll miss your arms around me
i'd send a postcard to you dear
'cause i wish you were here
i'll watch the night turn light blue
but it's not the same without you
because it takes two to whisper quietly
the silence isn't so bad
till i look at my hands and feel sad
'cause the spaces between my fingers
are right where yours fit perfectly
i'll find repose in new ways
though i haven't slept in two days
'cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
but drenched in vanilla twilight
i'll sit on the front porch all night
waist-deep in thought because when i think of you
i don't feel so alone
i don't feel so alone
i don't feel so alone
as many times as i blink
i'll think of you tonight
i'll think of you tonight
when violet eyes get brighter
and heavy wings grow lighter
i'll taste the sky and feel alive again
and i'll forget the world that i knew
but i swear i won't forget you
oh, if my voice could reach back through the past
i'll whisper in your ear
oh,darling.i wish you were here 

第一名——fireflies

打榜理由:依然出自专辑《ocean eyes》。恭喜萤火虫攻占状元位!歌词灵动,曲调活泼,让人有置身夜幕下草丛中之感,皎洁月光倾洒大地,点点萤火萦绕身旁,身未动,心已远!

歌词:

you would not believe your eyes
if ten million fireflies
lit up the world as i fell asleep
cause they fill the open air
and leave teardrops everywhere
you'd think me rude but i wouuld just stand and stare
i'd like to make myself believe
that planet earth turns slowly
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay
awake when i'm asleep
cause everything is never as it seems
cause i'd get a thousand hugs
from ten thousand lightning bugs
as they tried to teach me how to dance
a foxtrot above my head
a sockhop beneath my bed
a disco ball is just hanging by a thread
i'd like to make myself believe
that planet earth turns slowly
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay
awake when i'm asleep
cause everything is never as it seems
when i fall asleep
leave my door open just a crack
please take me away from here
cause i feel like such an insomniac
please take me away from here
why do i tire of counting sheep
please take me away from here
when i'm far too tired to fall asleep
to ten million fireflies
i'm weird cause i hate goodbyes
i got misty eyes as they said farewell
but i'll know where several are
if my dreams get real bizzare
cause i saved a few and i keep them in a jar
i'd lke to make myself believe
that planet earth turns slowly
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay
awake when i'm asleep
cause everything is never as it seems
when i fall asleep
i'd like to make myself believe
that planet earth turns slowly
it's hard to say that i'd rather stay
awake when i'm asleep
cause everything is never as it seems
when i fall asleep
i'd like to make myself believe
that planet earth turns slowly
it's hard to say i'd rather stay
awake when i'm asleep
because my dreams are bursting at the sea
