"Don't remind me
That some days I'm a windshield
And other days I'm just a lucky bug"
Not really sure on this. Maybe some days go really well and others don't (getting hit by a windshield as a bug is a bad day). Or maybe some days he feels they almost “connect” (a lucky bug misses the windshield).
“As cold iron rails leave
Old mossy trails through the countryside”
Beautiful imagery that makes me think of the cover of the album.
“The crow and the bean field
Are my best friends but
Boy, I need a hug (boy, I need a hug)”
From the perspective of a bee, going through life happy with the world it lives in but missing something (boy I need a hug).
“Cuz my heart stops without you
There's something about you
That makes me feel alive”
Best line of the song I think, just straightforward and cute.
“If the green left the grass on the other side
(I would make like a tree and leave)”
If you weren’t happy with your life or you were missing something, would you make an effort to find the “grass” on the other side?
But if I reached for your hand
Would your eyes get wide?
(Who knew the other side could be so green?)
Pretty straightforward for the first two lines. Who knew how happy they could be together?
“Don't remind me
I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
Cuz when the stars silhouette me
I'm scared they'll forget me
And flicker out”
She’s in love with him like a chickadee loves the sky, a cute, simple, and innocent kind of love. But does he even notice her? Will she stay in love (the stars are the energy of love I think) with him and will he like her?
“I taste honey but I haven't seen the hive
Yeah I didn't look, I didn't even try”
She feels like she’s so close to him and can taste the sweetness of love, but they aren’t quite together yet.
But still my heart stops without you
There's something about you
That makes me feel alive
Another simple and cute line.
“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?)”
See the explanation above.
“We are honey and the bee”
They go together and need each other like honey and bees.
“Backyard of butterflies surrounded me
I fell in love with you
Like bees to honey”
Falling in love with him feels as magical as being in a yard filled with butterflies. She falls in love with him like the bees love honey, pretty obvious.
“So let's up
And leave the weeping to the willow tree
And pour our tears in the sea”
They want to forget their sadness and be happy together (love the imagery here).
“I swear there's a lot of vegetables out there
That crop up for air”
I think this is just to be funny. It’s a random, unexpected line.
“Yeah I never thought
We were two peas in a pod
Until you suddenly bloomed
Then I knew
That I'd always love you
(And I'd always love you too)”
He never thought they would be together, but then he fell in love with her, and she fell in love with him.
Anyways, that’s my interpretation. Probably about the sweetest and cutest song I’ve ever heard, can’t stop listening to it (or any other Owl City songs), and I’m a 21 year old straight male.
i am a 20 year old straight male. its great to know that there are other men out there that like owl city. and i love you interpertation. this song is actually my girlfriends and my song. one of the many by owl city.
