Nice Lyrics

Circle me and the needle moves gracefully

Back and Forth

If my heart was a compass you'd be North

Risk it all coz I'll catch you when you fall

Wherever you go

If my heart was a house you'd be home

(pardon the Paint drawing...)

I was recently influenced by Mei Yun to listen to Owl City songs and I must say, it was a good recommendation (: Then again, I have to warn all unimaginative people that the lyrics are all really whimsical and do not make sense a lot of the time, and that's what I like about them! I read some criticisms of how the lyrics do not make sense and I couldnt help feeling a bit irritated at those impossibly practical party poopers...

It works really well before bedtime coz then you think of dreamy fantastical things like moonlight spilling down to earth and a strawberry avalanche cascading down with it. (Yes, it is another one of his songs) I remember drawing a picture of Happy Land once and I think Owl City songs will be the perfect background music of Happy Land (although the version I drew was a bit sadistic). Think the chorus of this song appealed particularly to me in this time of homesickness what with all the talk of compasses and directions and home.. Quite a quirky way of expression, as opposed to the traditional "You are my air/life/water/carbohydrates and other nutrients" and "I love you deeper than the deepest ocean" and all.
