Lyrics[]
Owl City:
I’m sayin’,
“Goodbye to the skyline,
Hello to the sweet pines.
Gonna see you later street lights,
I’m heading back to treelines.
To free time and starry nights,
To bonfires and fireflies.
Pack your bags, it’s time to go home.
‘Cause we’ve got brighter lights back home.”
Jake Owen:
I’ve got aching feet,
From walking, over, miles of concrete.
And I can’t wait, to dream.
But the city, you know she won’t go to sleep,
So I’m saying.
Owl City:
I’m sayin’,
“Goodbye to the skyline,
Hello to the sweet pines.
Gonna see you later street lights,
I’m heading back to treelines.
To free time and starry nights,
To bonfires and fireflies.
Pack your bags, it’s time to go home.
‘Cause we’ve got brighter lights back home.”
Yeah, we’ve got brighter lights
Jake
Back home, there’s a girl named Mary-Lou.
A diner off the highway with a corner booth.
And every gravel road is a trip down memory lane.
Back home, where the corn grows ten-feet tall,
Every year is measured on the pantry wall,
The willow trees are waiting ‘til we come back home again.
Owl City:
I’m sayin’,
“Goodbye to the skyline,
Hello to the sweet pines.
Gonna see you later street lights,
I’m heading back to treelines.
Jake:
To free time and starry nights,
To bonfires and fireflies.
Pack your bags, it’s time to go home.
Owl City:
Pack your bags, it’s time to go home.
Both:
I’m sayin’,
“Goodbye to the skyline,
Hello to the sweet pines.
Gonna see you later street lights,
I’m heading back to treelines.
Owl City:
To free time and starry nights,
Jake:
To bonfires and fireflies.
Both:
Pack your bags, it’s time to go home.
Pack your bags, it’s time to go home.
‘Cause we’ve got brighter lights back home.”
