  2. "Vanilla Twilight" By Owl City

  3. Lyrics • Till I look at my hands and feel sad • Cause the spaces between my fingers • Are right where yours fit perfectly • I'll find repose in new ways • Though I haven't slept in two days • Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone • But drenched in vanilla twilight • I'll sit on the front porch all night • Waist deep in thought because when • I think of you I don't feel so alone • The stars lean down to kiss you • And I lie awake and miss you • Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere • Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly • But I'll miss your arms around me • I'd send a postcard to you, dear • Cause I wish you were here • I'll watch the night turn light blue • But it's not the same without you • Because it takes two to whisper quietly • The silence isn't so bad

  4. Lyrics • I'll think of you tonight • (Tonight, tonight, tonight...) • I'll think of you tonight • When violet eyes get brighter • And heavy wings grow lighter • I'll taste the sky and feel alive again • And I'll forget the world that I knew • But I swear I won't forget you • Oh if my voice could reach back through the past • I'd whisper in your ear: • "Oh darling I wish you were here" • I'll find repose in new ways • Though I haven't slept in two days • Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone • But drenched in vanilla twilight • I'll sit on the front porch all night • Waist deep in thought because when • I think of you I don't feel so alone • I don't feel so alone • I don't feel so alone • As many times as I blink • I'll think of you tonight • (Tonight, tonight, tonight...) • I'll think of you tonight • When violet eyes get brighter • And heavy wings grow lighter • I'll taste the sky and feel alive again • And I'll forget the world that I knew • But I swear I won't forget you • Oh if my voice could reach back through the past • I'd whisper in your ear: • "Oh darling I wish you were here"

  5. Figurative Language • This is a metaphor. In this quote, the song compares being deeply in thought to being waist deep in something.

  6. Figurative Language • There are two cases of assonance here. One is the use of "brighter" and "lighter", where it repeats the "i" sound. • The other is when the lyrics use "knew" and "you", which is repetition of the "u" sound.

  7. Figurative Language • This quote demonstrates personification, as stars cannot lean down and kiss you, because that is a human ability that inanimate objects cannot posses.

  8. Paraphrase • I believe this song represents loneliness. It talks about how much he misses her, and how he won't forget her. He is in a beautiful place but he just can't enjoy it without her.
