This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If I was a raindrop
You'd be my thunderstorm
It's cold, so surround me
With rain clouds to keep me warm
I feel like I'm falling
So darling, don't let me go
The thought is appalling
But should I slip away into the stormy sea
Will you remember me
Asleep in the warm cocoons
We dream of lovely things
We're both gonna wake up soon
So we hope that tomorrow brings
Us our "Butterfly Wings"
If I was a grain of sand
Would you be Miami Beach
So dusty with starlight
Close your eyes and cuddle close to me
I'll try not to wake you
Or make a sound while you're dozing off
But in the night should the high tides
Sweep me away from you
Tell me again my dear, will you be waiting here
Whenever we leave the ground
And take to the sky
I'll smile as I'm gazing down
'Cause I've always wondered why
We won't need feathers to fly
You'd be my thunderstorm
It's cold, so surround me
With rain clouds to keep me warm
I feel like I'm falling
So darling, don't let me go
The thought is appalling
But should I slip away into the stormy sea
Will you remember me
Asleep in the warm cocoons
We dream of lovely things
We're both gonna wake up soon
So we hope that tomorrow brings
Us our "Butterfly Wings"
If I was a grain of sand
Would you be Miami Beach
So dusty with starlight
Close your eyes and cuddle close to me
I'll try not to wake you
Or make a sound while you're dozing off
But in the night should the high tides
Sweep me away from you
Tell me again my dear, will you be waiting here
Whenever we leave the ground
And take to the sky
I'll smile as I'm gazing down
'Cause I've always wondered why
We won't need feathers to fly

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Okay, I've fallen in love with this song. Yes, because it's amazing, but also because it just helped me solve a bit of a problem.
See, I've been trying to decide which high school to go to. One is high-tec, amazing curriculum, and very college-prep. The other is so friendly and welcoming, but the curriculum isn't as good. I'd really have to apply myself to do as well there as in the first school. But I really like that school.
So when I heard the line, "We won't need feathers to fly," I realized that, to me, it means that I don't need the college-prep curriculum and technology to do well and get into a good college. As long as I work hard, I don't need those 'feathers' to 'fly.' Thanks, Adam. <3
he reaches out to alot of people doesnt he? he reached out to me. hes one of four reasons why i write music.the others are God, the love of my life, and my best friend. thanks adam. ;)
This song is about him and a girl, and he loves her so much she means more to him than he does himself(not in a bad way) and so by being so small like a rain drop ore one grain of sand, she is greater than him, a storm and a beach. Also hes afraid of losing her bc at the end of both verses he asks if something happened to him, would she still love him? By saying they both hope to get butterfly wings, hes saying that one day theyll both be great, and also equal. At the end, they both use their butterfly wings to fly, and they dont need feathers to fly because they are both great together the way they are idk if its all right, but i think it could be close
my best friend and i share this song intensely and its what sticks us together i guess, coz we argue a lot of times and the only way it goes away is the hope that "if i was a grain of sand, she'd be My Miami beach! lovely song Adam
Absolutely love this song! Owl City is amazing <3
Great job getting the lyrics up here [:

This is a fantastic song, I love the lyrics.
What album is this song from?
Ocean eyes (the deluxe version, not the normal one)
reminds me of my love life.its talks about him being in love with a popular girl(like me). he is a rain drop, and she is a thunder storm.
Maybe it's just me, but the last line "I've always wondered why We won't need feathers to fly" makes me think of Heaven. I think we'll be able to fly there, free from the limits of this faded place we call the physical world. There's a more substantial world, one that God will give us a new body for, and anything will be possible. No feathers necessary. :)
