Owl City é um projeto musical de synthpop do músico estadunidense Adam Young (nascido 5 de julho de 1986). Iniciou na carreira musical em 2007, em Owatonna, sua cidade natal no Minnesota. As influências de Young são a música disco e a música eletrônica europeia. Depois de dois álbuns independentes, Owl City ganhou projeção em 2009, com o primeiro álbum lançado através de uma gravadora, Ocean Eyes, que levou o artista à primeira posição na parada estadunidense Billboard Hot 100 com o single Fireflies.

Sorry I can't stand the version featuring Shawn Christopher
Chorus: GDA Where was I when the rockets came to life EmGDA And carried you away into the alligator sky EmGDA Even though I'll never know what's up ahead EmGBmA I'm never letting go I'm never letting go
Verse 1: AEm Remember to breathe because it'll take your breath away GD When the engines cough and you blast off AEmG Ignite the night with a firecracker flash DAEm Remember to live 'cause you're gonna be thrilled to death GD When the stars collide and your eyes grow wide AEmG Take it in with your breath against the glass DAEm Remember to dream because it's gonna be a starry night GD Over every town if you look down AEmG So harmonize with the singing satellites DAEm Remember to scream because you're gonna be lost for words GD When the sparks erupt and they light you up AEmGD Dip your toes in the galaxy 'cause it's yours to explore tonight
~[Chorus]~
Bridge: AEm Rollercoaster through the atmosphere GD I'm drowning in this starry serenade AEm Where ecstasy becomes cavalier GD My imagination's taking me away AEm Reverie whisper in my ear GD I'm scared to death that I'll never be afraid AEm Rollercoaster through the atmosphere GD My imagination's taking me away
Verse 2: AEm Let's hear it for the Universe G Where it never hurts D Diving in head-first AEmG Take a taste of the melting milky Way DAEm And remember to laugh 'cause you're living in a crazy world GD Where you'll never guess what could happen next AEmGD Give the outer limits my regards as you float to fly away
~[Chorus]~
