Owl City – Honey and the Bee Lyrics 11 years ago
This is just a best guess for the song lyrics.

"Don't remind me
That some days I'm the windshield
And other days I'm just a lucky bug"
-A statement that says the person talking doesn't want to be reminded that they are at times rigid and uncaring like a windshield and at other times carefree and lighthearted like a simple lucky bug.

"These cold iron rails
Leave old mossy trails
Through the countryside"
-The speaker is talking about life and the path it leaves behind using a train-rail metaphor.

"The crow and the beanfield
Are my best friends, but boy I need a hug"
-The speaker is likely feeling lonely as he has friends, but no one with whom to actually share an intimate moment with.


(Boy I need a hug)

"'Cause my heart stops without you
There's something about you
That makes me feel alive"
-Self explanatory love statement.

"If the green left the grass on the other side
I would make like a tree and leave
But if I reached for your hand, would your eyes get wide
Who knew the other side could be so green"
-Speaker states that if life was much better doing something else they would gladly take it and if the speaker took the other persons hand to bring them along then that change in their life would be even better.


"Don't remind me
I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
'Cause when the stars silhouette me
I'm scared they'll forget me and flicker out
I taste honey but I haven't seen the hive
Yeah, I didn't look, I didn't even try"
- The speaker is stating that they are very carefree going through life, but is worried that if something drastically bad should go wrong they would have missed out on a serious relationship. They have "tasted honey" likely a metaphor for having sex, but "haven't seen the hive" they have yet to have a family, and the final statement of their lacking of attempting such a thing.

"We are honey and the bee"
-A simple love statement similar to "two peas in a pod"

"Backyard of butterflies surrounded me
I fell in love with you like bees to honey
Let's up and leave the weeping to the willow tree
And pour our tears in the sea"
-One of the more confusing lines of the song, but from my understanding it's the speaker stating that there are plenty of beutiful people around them, but there is a greater attraction between themselves and who they are singing to. Also that they should get rid of their emotional baggage and let other worry about all that.


"I swear
There's a lot of vegetables out there
That crop up for air
Yeah, I never thought
We were two peas in a pod
To be suddenly bloomed
And I knew that I'd always love you
Oh, I'll always love you too"
-Simple statement saying there are alot of people in this world and I didnt expect us to fall in love.
