Owl City — Designer Skyline

[Verse] Affection, the gifted architect Is making a draft and beautiful design The options and possibilities Are endless when we connect and re-align [Verse 2] Collections of books and documents Arise and parade around my cluttered desk Reworking the math and measurements Until I'm convinced these plans are picturesque Like mountains in the Midwest [Verse 3] Reaction creates the columns dark And wide like the roads around Fort Lauderdale The structures begin to take their shape Before I've designed the public monorail [Verse 4] The turnpike and high-speed motorway Connect and enclose the quaint suburban streets The airport, the broad suspension bridge The lake and the beach where several rivers meet Compounded from the spreadsheet [Verse 5] A city sparkles in the night How can it glow so bright? The neighborhoods surround the soft florescent light Designer skyline in my head Abstract and still well-read You went from numbered lines to buildings overhead
