'Cause I'm history
When I strap my helmet on I'll be long gone
'Cause I've been dying to leave
Yeah, I'll ride the range and hide all my loose change
In my bedroom
'Cause riding a dirtbike down a turnpike
Always takes its toll on me
I've had just about enough
Of quote, "diamonds in the rough"
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern
Or I'll cave in
If the bombs go off
The sun will still be shining
Because we've heard it said that every mushroom cloud
Has a silver lining
(though I'm always undermining too deep to know)
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
'Cause the road tastes like wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
Mixed with stale gasoline
I'll soak up the sound trying to sleep on the wet ground
I'll get ten minutes give-or-take
'Cause I just don't forsee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake
Get me out of this cavern
Or I'll cave in
I'll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in
'Cause if my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps
It'll make a mess like you wouldn't believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track
And if my intentions stray I'll wrench them away
Then I'll take my leave and I won't even look back
I won't even look back

Owl City è un progetto musicale indie/synth pop statunitense creato da Adam Young nel 2007. Inizialmente attivo come artista indipendente, ha pubblicato due album prima di firmare con la Republic Records. La svolta arriva nel 2009 con l'album di debutto discografico *Ocean Eyes*, che raggiunge il successo internazionale grazie al singolo *Fireflies*. Il brano diventa un fenomeno globale, conquistando quattro dischi di platino negli Stati Uniti e consacrando Owl City come uno dei nomi più importanti del synth pop contemporaneo. *Ocean Eyes* viene certificato disco di platino nel paese nel mese di aprile 2010. Young continua a pubblicare musica con Owl City, esplorando sonorità elettroniche e atmosfere introspettive. Tra i suoi album successivi si ricordano *All Things Bright and Beautiful* (2011) e *Mobile Orchestra* (2015). Oltre ai singoli di successo come *Fireflies*, *Good Time* (in collaborazione con Carly Rae Jepsen) e *Vanilla Twilight*, Owl City è noto per le sue melodie orecchiabili, i testi evocativi e l'uso innovativo di sintetizzatori.
