I Found Love Lyrics
I was so young and reckless
It was all a blur but there you were
And your love left me breathless
When the fairy dust fell over us
Yeah I, I felt like I could fly
Cause I, I found love
So take my hand, and shed a tear
Before I'm gone, it's now or never
I'll hold you close, the end is near
But love goes on, and on forever
It's so dark in my mind
I cross my heart and hope to die
I'm so bad, at goodbyes
I hold my breath, and close my eyes
I don't have a lot left
Oh, how did it end so fast?
I say, with my last breath
It's a perfect day, to float away
When the sparks flew between us
I saw you glow, and had to know
Where our journey would lead us
To the story's end, and back again
Yeah I, I felt like I could fly
Cause I, I found love
So lead me home, and lift me up
Above the stars, and even higher
I'm not afraid, because your love
It falls like rain, and burns like fire
It's so dark in my mind
I cross my heart and hope to die
I'm so bad, at goodbyes
I hold my breath, and close my eyes
I don't have a lot left
Oh, how did it end so fast?
I say, with my last breath
It's a perfect day, to float away
I'll love you forever
And you were my dream come true
I say, with my last breath
It's a perfect day, to float away
Yeah I, I felt like I could fly
Cause I, I found love
It was all a blur but there you were
And your love left me breathless
When the fairy dust fell over us
Yeah I, I felt like I could fly
Cause I, I found love
Before I'm gone, it's now or never
I'll hold you close, the end is near
But love goes on, and on forever
I cross my heart and hope to die
I'm so bad, at goodbyes
I hold my breath, and close my eyes
I don't have a lot left
Oh, how did it end so fast?
I say, with my last breath
It's a perfect day, to float away
I saw you glow, and had to know
Where our journey would lead us
To the story's end, and back again
Yeah I, I felt like I could fly
Cause I, I found love
Above the stars, and even higher
I'm not afraid, because your love
It falls like rain, and burns like fire
I cross my heart and hope to die
I'm so bad, at goodbyes
I hold my breath, and close my eyes
I don't have a lot left
Oh, how did it end so fast?
I say, with my last breath
It's a perfect day, to float away
And you were my dream come true
I say, with my last breath
It's a perfect day, to float away
Yeah I, I felt like I could fly
Cause I, I found love

The second song off of the Owl City Album Mobile Orchestra, “I Found Love” is a song about a person at the end of his life realising the full life they’ve lived and anticipating the next life ahead of him. Adam Young describes the song himself in his track-by-track commentary of Mobile Orchestra:
The most honest song on Mobile Orchestra is probably a song called ‘I Found Love.’ It’s heavy, it’s sort of deceivingly heavy, because the song itself, the melodies and instrumentations sound uplifting and optimistic. But it’s pretty much about death and imagining the emotions that you go through knowing that your minutes are numbered. Being on your deathbed and having to say goodbye to your friends and your family, your wife and your kids and just trying to imagine what that would be like. I felt like I had to put that down into a song. Part of that is like, ‘I’m so sad to say goodbye to everybody and I’m so sad that my life has been a blur and here I am at the end of it. But I’m so excited for what’s coming next.’ So in that way, it plays into my faith a lot. So it was a fun way to be vulnerable in a way that I don’t think I’ve quite been on earlier records."
