Owl City – Be Brave lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the basement of an empty house
I slept on the floor like a vagrant
I braved a Minnesota winter night
And drove to a movie feeling lonely

And as I thawed my heart out by the light
Of the silver screen
I was unaware that you were there
In the dark, a silhouette
Was climbing up the stairs

And what I thought
In the parking lot
Was like, I just wanna know your name
I drove away
With not much to say
But in my hand I held a paper bird
And written on it were the words
Be brave

[Verse 2]
Wildflower knew I wasn’t well
But on the kitchen floor I got better again
I grabbed my keys and drove toward a star
And there, I was understood for the first time in my life

Cause that’s when I was introduced to true
Serendipity
I knew it when
You showed up again
In the snow, I was always told
Your heart is where you’re home

And what I thought
In the coffee shop
Was like, the last eight hours was a dream
I drove away
With not much to say
But in my hand I held a paper bird
And written on it were the words

Ok, I'll be brave

[Verse 3]
And in my mind
After all this time
I think, ain't life beautiful and strange
I’m blown away
With no words to say
Cause I, I’ll forever be amazed
How I learned the meaning of the phrase
Be brave
