LYRICS
I saw a ghost on the stairs
And sheets on the tables and chairs
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
Even so, I don't know what to think
I've been longing for
Daisies to push through the floor
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won't feel dead anymore
So I won't feel dead anymore
I saw a bear in the den
Readin' my textbooks again
Bats float like traffic as they pour from the attic
Heaven knows I could really use a friend
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?
Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da
I've been longing for (I've been longing for)
Daisies to push through the floor (I never really felt like this before)
And I wish plant life would grow all around me
So I won't feel dead anymore
So I won't feel dead anymore
Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet
And give me a ghost of a smile
Show me your teeth, 'cause you're a teddy beneath
So just grin and bear it a while
Just grin and bear it a while
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?
Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da
(I thought that was all about lovin' at all)
Da da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da
(New leaf turns over, I'm willing to fall)
Tonight I'm bustin' out
Of this old haunted house
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for
All those spider webs to grow all around me
'Cause I don't feel dead anymore
And I'm not afraid anymore
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings
Would you strum on mine?

@MasochistGamers 9 лет назад

Ava Isandali People should never live life as if it were a burden... the universe echo's in our heart and gives us each individual perspective of what we know. How we feel.. what we feel.. it will only ever happen once, and we are the only one's that can explore the wonders of that unique experience... when you smile, smile for those who can't, smile for the universe... smile for yourself. You're not alone. I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest.. the tree's keep the tempo and they sway in time. Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus.. if I were to pluck on your heart strings, would you strum on mine? A new leaf turns over unwilling to fall..

owl city's songs are like waking on the beach at night and you can see your breath in the air but you aren't too cold and you can say the northern lights and see fireflies in the distance and the stars look beautiful. These perfect moments all combined into one song.

Alright everyone I have a story. So, when I was in fourth grade I had to go to a different school because of the G.A.T.E program. None of my friends were going to that school. I had a really hard time making friends. I hated being alive then because I was really lonely. My parents weren't much help since they both think education is more important. Then, I stumbled across Owl City and this song. I learned the lyrics and whenever I was lonely, sad, or upset I would go over to this tree in the really far corner of the playground and sing this song to myself there. I did the same thing for fifth grade even when I had made some friends.That tree and this song got me through some really hard times. So thank you Owl City.

@msMuffet. 5 лет назад

Yoog-chan- That’s a wonderful story. Owl City is really nostalgic and helped me a lot too. My parents used to fight all the time and his songs were one of the only CDs we had that helped. Now when I listen to them it just makes me remember the old days.

@elizabethfields5919 8 лет назад

This song always makes me think of a house that was desurted by its owners, so the house's spirit is lonely and waiting for plants to grow so it won't be alone anymore and it won't miss its owners.

@metalheadsexmaster 5 лет назад

The best part is definitely when the music swells and he sings: The brook babbles on about nothing at all A new leaf turns over, unwilling to fall Gets me every time, main :,)

@bonedoggle 10 лет назад

When I listen to this, I don't only see a run-down house with clovers and flowers growing from between the floorboards. I also see someone reaching out, beckoning, asking the one listening for a friend. I can see them saying they want life and color to surround them so they aren't alone.

as much as i love this song, i've read enough creepypasta to know where this post is going...

@snrkybrd 9 лет назад

Geeze Adam as a CP? No way. He'd never brutally murder someone. He's about as violent as Fluttershy. (Sorry to go all Pegasister here but seriously this song makes me think of Fluttershy)

@bonedoggle 9 лет назад

mack salazar The most violent I've ever heard in his songs is "Oh, bravely I fought off the monsters beneath her bed" and most of Wolf Bite, Dementia's mostly metaphorical so that doesn't count. Adam is a sweet, kind, and cheerful person. Trying to compare this to Creepypasta kind of ruins the song for me.

@Xaychedelic 6 лет назад

(I'm a bit late) but I get what he means. I usually say "I'd rather" if it's something I 'wish' I could or choose to do even when I know I can't or if it's hard to do. It's a hopeful thing, really. I think this says a lot about Adam and his hesitance in doing something you wish you could do without anyone judging you.

Religion shouldn't interfere with music taste. :') (I'm an atheist, too.) @Xiper StarChild, Owl City is a devout christian who makes that clear with the lyrics of a lot of his songs [e.g. Galaxies, Angels], which is why they made that comment. Many people of different religions listen and enjoy his music, though.

I recently just began practicing music, and I started crying when I played my first Owl City song two nights ago. This music has been therapy for me all throughout elementary and high school, and hearing those sounds come from myself just felt so full circle to me. This music will always hold such a special place in my heart.

I just lost 20 dollars at school, and that 20 meant a lot to me because it was my mom that gave me it for Christmas. she lives in Georgia and I'm not sure when I'll see her again. So I cried my heart out to God.I just turned on my Kindle Fire HD and started listening to Plant Life remembering all that happened today and how I was so excited when my mom came for Christmas. Now I'm much better and I've calmed down.

Oh, but this song makes so much sense. It's a metaphor about our minds and how we can't let things go. The bear in the den is your own self running over chapters in your life of regrets, sorrows. He's letting it go. Bats flew like traffic as they poured from the attic. Very clever.
