Lyrics: Under The Circus Lights
Once upon a summer
A traveling circus came to town
From the land down under
And I was filled with wonder
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
Tear through the air with the greatest of ease
I got cotton candy
And then in a daze, I met her gaze
And she winked right at me
And my heart pounded madly
When I saw the girl on the flying trapeze
Capture the crowd with the greatest of ease
She was a light in a dark lullaby
That girl was raised by a butterfly
I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly
And under the circus lights
I must have fallen in love that night
Lighter than a feather
But careful, as with a heavy heart
She seemed to fall forever
And then I wondered whether
I noticed the girl on the flying trapeze
Blink back a tear with the greatest of ease
And she took my breath away
Oh so grand and graceful
Confetti rained as she climbed through the air
Like a homesick angel
“She makes heartache painful”
I thought as the girl on the flying trapeze
Melted my heart with the greatest of ease
What a display of rosé poetry
What a majestic menagerie
I swear when I caught her eye, I could almost fly
And under the circus lights
I must have fallen in love that night
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to the most spectacular show on Earth
And she took my breath away
I was so enamored
And she took my breath away
All that glitz and glamor
And she took my breath away
I was so enamored
And that’s how the girl on the flying trapeze
Knocked me off my feet with the greatest of ease
And then with a charming sweetness
She smiled and waved and took a bow
For a crowd stunned speechless
And I was charmed to pieces
When the girl on the flying trapeze
Magically dissolved like a song on the breeze
And simply broke my heart with the greatest of ease
We shook the floor with a roar of applause
She seemed to drown in the oohs and aahs
I hung around til the clowns
Tore the big top down
And soon it was almost dawn
I looked and looked but the girl was gone
Deep down I felt kinda blue
For a day or two
Then clear as a bell, I knew
I would run away with the circus too

This is probably my favorite song on the album. It's not super often that pop songs are written in a 3/4 time signature.
True
Woke up to the song in my feed and thought the same thing. “It’s pop but the rhythm is in... NO WAY!” 🤓🎼
Could you please explain what you meant to me?
@@nakdickson A time signature is how many beats in a measure (section). Most song are written on 4/4, so the beat goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. In a song like this one though, the beat goes 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 (like a waltz).
Hope this helped 😊
A lot of owl city's 3/4 songs are often my favorite, despite not being a title track. They just sound extra magical.
this song is such a perfect example of what a brilliant storyteller adam is. even without the fantasy-like elements and metaphors of his earlier works, this still manages to capture that same level of wonder and beauty that made him so well known
i swear this guy could write a song about taking the bus to work and it'd still be this breathtaking
Why doesn’t this song have a music video already? It would be twice as magical!
All of his songs should have their music video tbh. They are all so dreamy!
Yes, it would be so magical if it has. Like a dreamy moments! 🌸
Ikr
Well, the production cost would also be as twice as magical.
Adam's an indie musician now. He probably doesn't have a big budget to create a MV.
@@n_core It's possible bcuz Adam can have sponsorships and his works is awesome. Maybe he's too bz on his own business that's why.
I gotta be honest, without Owl City, I probably wouldn’t be the person that I am today
Same
Same
Same here Buddy!
Same
Oh my gosh same here. I literally grew up listening to him. I started when I was 10 and now I’m 24.
This is pure magic. No other artist makes me feel this way.
Someone should take Owl City's music and write a Broadway musical with it.
I really like this song! The sound effects of this album are so speciaaaal and make the album magical. 💗✨
Adam is very talented at conveying what he wants to tell through his diverse and heartfelt lyrics. Coco Moon is very clear about what Adam wants to tell. I think this album is like another collection of books told by a mysterious man, who doesn't care about popularity but only to reach its rightful audience. I'm glad I know Owl City.
Super cute song! It oddly makes me think of the first concert I’ve ever been to (Owl City - Cinematic Show in 2018) and how it blew me away. I fell in love with the magic of creativity ✨ & I was definitely ‘sad for a day or two’ when the show ended 😂
I adore this song! I only went to a circus act a few times growing up, but this song, the imagery it evokes, the vocals, the sound effects and samples, and musical intricacies... it's magical. I love it all! Thank you, Adam! Thank you for Under the Circus Lights and all of Coco Moon!
Yes!!! His songs evoke experience laced emotions/feels! I feel the same way about Dinosaur Park. I have never been to a dino park, but I would imagine it would feel exactly the way he describes and captures it in the song. 🖤
Best song of the album! It's epic, mysterious, cute and sad at the same time
Watching from Nigeria, All my childhood memory till now can't forget the impact your beautiful music tone has on me, thanks for good music owl city.
Love this one in particular ♥️♥️.
I was feeling really suicidal back in March and then Owl City and Melanie Martinez announced the release of their new albums, after years of hiatus it felt like a sign to stay. I’m so glad I did, this is my favorite song on the album and now I listen to Coco Moon every time my mind is plagued with bad thoughts. 💜
Stay strong! Life is Fr hard! Ik you can make it! I wanna see you rocking to owl city 50 years from now if your young! All love!
@@UkulilyFilly I really like battle of the larynx and nymphology
Hey buddy! We are the new sons of thunder! I hope you stay safe
THANK YOU FOR STAYING. 🫂
dont worry about a thing cuz every little thing gonna be alright
This is my favorite song of his in a while! I don’t remember the last time such a magical dreamy story was told in pure song like this
I've grown up with this man he helped me through some hard times
Owl City is a Childhood memories for many people 😊
I love this song, I hope it gets an actual music video too
One of my favourite songs from CocoMoon. So inspiring and nostalgic! Thank you Adam
It's been 64 days since the release but that bridge at 2:44 gives me goosebumps every single time ❤
I don’t know, I just feel like crying listening to this track. Owl City is always a forever gem.
His instruments always sends me to heaven 😊
This is indeed one of my most favorite songs from Coco Moon. It's so lovely!
Adam’s music saved me when I moved to America as an immigrant. The depressing days and nights . Nights of tears which came with doubts from a new environment and a new journey.I’d listen to ocean eyes and cry so hard and go to bed and wake up feeling better .This music in this album is very dreamy. I cry and disappear in thoughts when I listen to it. I’m so happy, sad , scared at the same time . I imagine heaven, eternal life every single emotion happens to me . Adam, thank you. You have helped me so much and you’d never know. God bless you. See you in DC❤️
I love this song. Owl City will always have a special place in my heart.
This deserves a music video honestly
Adams voice is just nostalgic. I will love anything Owl City puts out, forever :)
Same here
Owl city helped me get through my depression thank you
God bless you! 🙌
I still remember when I first heard the song fireflies. It reminds me of when I went on a walk through the woods with my dad one night and a whole bunch of fireflies came out of the grass when my dad tossed a stone.
My favorite song, see you tonight! Can't wait for this concert!
Angelic voice, Magical music, beautiful lyrics. ♡ Love you Adam
This song is a blessing of harmony. ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟🌟🌟🏅🏅🏅✨️✨️✨️💯💯💯👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Many people loved this song so much from CocoMoon Album. It's so magical and we hope it has Official Music Video. 🥺🎉
Owl city always delivers a masterpiece. Owl city has been my favorite since school. Many songs and years later, Owl city is still the best and my favorite. These songs have kept me going and are always a part of my playlist. God bless Owl city. You deserve more recognition than most.
I love how after 13 years, he still hasn't changed his music style.
I started crying as soon as this song started playing, I truly Love this song💕
The magic of Adam Young haha
It would/will be stunning to see this one performed live. Just one more month for me, I’m so excited
Makes no sense that this seems like such a magical happy song but it just makes me feel sad the whole way through for some reason
"And She Took my Breath Away!"
I feel an odd connection with this song that I can’t seem to describe. It truly is breathtaking. In fact, the whole of Coco Moon is breathtaking. Truly one of the best Owl City albums of all times, if I say so myself.
(But Ocean Eyes & Maybe I’m dreaming will be my faves forever!)
I hadn't listen a lot of Owl City since the funny song, but oh lord Coco Moon is a masterpiece and they have become my favorite since I heard it
I think that Owl City's older albums have more dreamy and whimsical songs than his later albums! XD
I'm a die-hard old-era owl city fan but I'm really finding an appreciation for his newer stuff!
@@megalisa830bright6 I hadn't listen to anything OC aside from the funny song; and I think that's what captivated me. The more grounded (kinda) themes of Coco Moon. But all of their old stuff I've been discovering and with the help of this chart is to be greatly appreciated. I love everything they've done so far!
@@megalisa830bright6 yeah, his style has definitely changed. But I do miss his dream genre. Maybe it’ll come back in the next album. (If there is a next one)
Owl City saved me many many times back then, hearing this now, it feels like meeting an old friend again. Nostalgic yet new.
This was like one of my top 5 current favorite songs on this album after more than a few listens of the song & album since about like a month ago now (while I was able to have the right time to give another official listen on the new album), the style & melody itself was really satisfying & interesting to listen to, and the part with the "Ladies & Gentlemen! Welcome to the most spectacular show!" with the fireworks was really great too! :)
One of the best new albums out there, love these songs, Adam!
Am I the only one that thinks that all Owl City songs tell a mystical story?
God i love this persons songs they helped me through so much in life thank you man your the best ❤
This song is awesome!!! Thanks Adam!!! God bless you!!! I hope you and your family are doing well!!!
Terima Kasih Owl City (Kota Burung Hantu) Yang Sudah Menemani Aku Waktu Kecil Sampai Dewasa.
💗💗💗💗 This is my second favorite song on the album, it gets stuck in my head for hours but I never get tired of it. It’s magical
ADAMazing as always!
I fallen inlove with this song. 🥺
This might be the best song of our generation, legit - The lyrics are perfect and the use of circus-like instruments is just genius. You are the greatest composer of modern times, Adam - Thank you so much for this song!
Do not forget that noise of circus and train
I can't wait to see you preform tonight ❤
WE LOVE YOU OWL CITY❤
❤❤❤
This song is so beautiful
My fave song from Coco Moon! It's so dreamy, magical, & full of wonder every time I listen to it ✨
This is so sweet and pretty, and gahdahmid I cried 😢
Maybe my favorite on the entire album! So magical, dream-inducing, well-composed and amazing!
I love you so much I can’t even explain if I tried ❤❤❤
I'll be honest, this song deserves more views.
Thanks so much Owl City.
May God bless you more bro ❤your music is more than amazing 😍
I discovered Owl City when I was 14 and he became my favorite singer, today I am 26 and I still enjoy his music. almost 4 years ago I put a playlist of my favorite singer for my daughter while she was in my womb. Tonight she has fallen asleep while she was listening to this song. She was relaxed. I am definitely glad that Owl City exists and it makes me happy to share these songs with my daughter in her most beautiful years.
I love you Adam Young♥ God bless you
My favorite 🥰 can’t wait!
The circus just came to town! I've been listening to this song recently, it's awesome! All of Coco Moon is, really. Great job, Adam! Hope y'all have a great day!
What a masterpiece song from one man band, knowledge of many instruments really helping adam to make such a music,he is gem,he needed to be famous again...
I absolutely adore this song! its such a vibey song and i love the incredible imagery the lyrics brings! Amazing work Adam! 🥳
your lyrics never fails, they are the greatest
This song is absolutely magical, the imagery and storytelling are just so perfect. There's no other way to describe it, it's just spectacular, I was blown away listening to this for the first time. Thanks for blessing us with another great song Adam.
Beautiful lyric video.
I'm unaware if this is based on an event in Adam's life but if it is this song would've fitted Cinematic imo haha
After religiosly listening to this album i have to say,this hands down Adams best song.
The instrumentals, story themes, atmosphere and wordplay is unlike anything ive heard before.
Thank you Adam for this masterpiece, God bless you🙏
I like how each song of Owl City is a story. I'm always blown away by his talent!
Amazing as always🔥 Love you, Adam
I have been listening to this song on repeat and I don't know why. Something about the beat triggers something emotionally in me. It's very hard to find amazing feel good music these days and Owl City never disappoints me.
You are a legend of gold, Adam Young, you can make a wonderful and incredible music.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️🎶🎶🎶😁😁😁
Una de las mejores canciones del album. Se siente el amor y, sobre todo, la magia. Es simplemente fantástica ❤
Aaah una persona que le gusta Owl City que habla español, me caes bien
Yo también me facina escuchar Owl city Beautiful ❤
Es bueno saber que hay personas con buen gusto de música como lo es owl City, muchos latinos o personas que hablan español tristemente no saben la buena vibra que estas canciones transmiten
Under the circus lights is a beautiful mesmerizing song it’s so cool because when I close my eyes and i’am in my car or my house I can picture myself at the circus even tho i’am not there I love how Adam takes us on a journey to a new world not like reality today
Owl city is best ❤
Im so proud of you and this album Adam!!!!! You really did it with this one 💚
Finally, i can say that owl city is back
this summer gonna be a great time with owl city 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥
I Wish that i was as talented as Owl City
This has such a vivid combination of childlike joy and soft bittersweetness
The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey circus are back! I absolutely LOVE the circus, and I am so excited to see it again. I'll be going for my birthday in October.
I’ve been listening since I was 14. Vanilla twilight was the first song I heard. I remember listening to it on repeat for a week… I’m 25 now, and I’m playing this song on repeat everyday 😩
Thank you Adam, you bring a certain type of magic to the world that nobody else can!
Adam we need dinosaur park official video its masterpiece
That music deserves individual video
my hero , owl city.
I dream about lyrics sung by owl city
"Every your mine love it change to me"
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! ❤
hey mary!
@@lunameriweather7693 hi!
this song is perfectttt💯🩵
I see and feel every words when he sing this song,,🎪
I'm going through the songs one at a time, and so far it feels like this album is a collection of pieces of Adam's experiences, a first job that gave him the stability to pursue what he wanted in Adam, Check Please. Here, he shares the wonder of realising that he wanted to be a part of the showbiz world. Despite seeing that, while the people on the stage are amazing, they're humans with struggles too. Instead of wanting to only see the "girl on the flying trapeze", the actor on the stage, he wanted to find her the person behind the act. Realising that that real person behind the act isn't for the audience to find is saddening, but it also made him realise his own dream to be that person, doing his best for the audience, to be the one who fills others with wonder and life.
That's just how it reads to me xD
That or he just really liked The Greatest Showman xp
Love your melodies. So playful
Owl City. Always have my heart.
There is something so magical about this song and owl city as a whole
❤❤❤❤❤ this song made my day 😚
Love this song so much, I listen to it daily.
Reminds me of Plant Life, my all-time favourite Owl City song
Would love a music video for this one ♥
I thought about it too! Sounds a lot like Plant Life! I love both songs so much ❤
This song gives me the same feeling that firefly gave me when I was younger
This one is my fav!
You really are a legend.
Owl City makes the most emotional, romantic songs ❤ another favorite
I love this song as much as embers
