Owl City Fuzzy Blue Lights

If I could look across the country
From California to New Jersey
Then I would count the parks and lake resorts
And number all the jets and airports
All those rather dreary rain clouds still bother me
Cuz I look through the camera eyepiece and cannot see

If I could open up my window
And see from Tampa Bay to Juneau
Then I would survey all those open miles
And line them up in single file
Everywhere I look I see green scenic sublime
And all those oceanic vistas are so divine

If I was standing on the balcony
And you were walking down below
I'd feel rather depressed and out of place
And lonely just to watch you go
If you were swinging from the highway overpass
Within the western hemisphere
I'd feel rather afraid and insincere
If you began to disappear

If I was walking through a sad art gallery
And you were driving through the night
I'd feel rather alone and I'll at ease
Beneath the brilliant showroom light
If I was flying on a plane above your town
And you were gazing at the sky
Somehow I'd feel intact and reassured
If you began to wave goodbye

bosan

seandaikan

aku adalah bintang
biarkan aku meledak, berkeping
dan setiap mikron debuku terhampar di pelosok bimasakti
aku menjadi jutaan aku
mungkin singgah di salah satu pesawat antariksa amerika
yang sedang pulang
sampai di bumi setelah terbakar-bakar
menyambangi wajah seorang yang merindu
tengadah memandang-mandang langit
melihat-lihat bintang
dan bertanya-tanya
apakah dirimu masih ada sayang?
apakah dirimu tetap disana sayang?

seumpama
aku adalah batu gunung besar di kaki gunung besar
biarlah truk-truk mengangkutku
dan aku dipecah-pecah
aku menjadi ratusan aku
mungkin dijadikan pondasi
ditumpuk-tumpuk dengan sesama batu
dibawah rumah seorang kekasih
yang bingung mondar-mandir
dan bertanya-tanya
apakah dirimu akan pulang sayang?
apakah dirimu tahu jalannya sayang?

dan aku mungkin tak lebih bosan lagi
