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

Since first breaking onto the alt-pop scene in 2007, Owl City has built a global following on the strength of his heart-on-sleeve songwriting and endlessly inventive sound. Along with earning a monumental hit with the seven-times-platinum “Fireflies”-a 2009 release that reached No. 1 in 26 countries-the Minnesota-bred artist otherwise known as Adam Young has made waves with smash singles like the double-platinum “Good Time” feat. Carly Rae Jepsen and brought his exuberant live set to sold-out shows around the world. With total album sales of over three million and single sales surpassing 20 million globally, Owl City is now set to deliver a highly anticipated new album in 2023: a wildly imaginative body of work revealing his deepened devotion to the strange magic of creativity.

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
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.

@@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 😊

Oh my gosh same here. I literally grew up listening to him. I started when I was 10 and now I’m 24.
I really like this song! The sound effects of this album are so speciaaaal and make the album magical. 💗✨
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 😂
Someone should take Owl City's music and write a Broadway musical with it.

Fucking brilliant, that's what you are
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.
This is pure magic. No other artist makes me feel this way.
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. 🖤
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 ♥️♥️.
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
Best song of the album! It's epic, mysterious, cute and sad at the same time
One of my favourite songs from CocoMoon. So inspiring and nostalgic! Thank you Adam
I've grown up with this man he helped me through some hard times
I love this song, I hope it gets an actual music video too
I don’t know, I just feel like crying listening to this track. Owl City is always a forever gem.
It's been 64 days since the release but that bridge at 2:44 gives me goosebumps every single time ❤
Owl City is a Childhood memories for many people 😊
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❤️
Angelic voice, Magical music, beautiful lyrics. ♡ Love you Adam
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.
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.
One of the best new albums out there, love these songs, Adam!
His instruments always sends me to heaven 😊
Many people loved this song so much from CocoMoon Album. It's so magical and we hope it has Official Music Video. 🥺🎉
This deserves a music video honestly
I love this song. Owl City will always have a special place in my heart.
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.
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! :)
My favorite song, see you tonight! Can't wait for this concert!
This song is awesome!!! Thanks Adam!!! God bless you!!! I hope you and your family are doing well!!!

Maybe my favorite on the entire album! So magical, dream-inducing, well-composed and amazing!
I absolutely adore this song! its such a vibey song and i love the incredible imagery the lyrics brings! Amazing work Adam! 🥳
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!
I love you so much I can’t even explain if I tried ❤❤❤
"And She Took my Breath Away!"
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
I fallen inlove with this song. 🥺
You are a legend of gold, Adam Young, you can make a wonderful and incredible music.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️🎶🎶🎶😁😁😁
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 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 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. 💜

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
I like how each song of Owl City is a story. I'm always blown away by his talent!
Am I the only one that thinks that all Owl City songs tell a mystical story?
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
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.
Im so proud of you and this album Adam!!!!! You really did it with this one 💚
I don't know why my heart aches when she dissolves
I Wish that i was as talented as Owl City
This song is so beautiful
My favorite 🥰 can’t wait!
This is so sweet and pretty, and gahdahmid I cried 😢
Adam we need dinosaur park official video its masterpiece That music deserves individual 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
Beautiful lyric video.
I love this song I'm from South Memphis my brother lives in California and loves your music so much i just was checking it out and loved every second of it ❤️

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
I see and feel every words when he sing this song,,🎪
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!
Owl city is best ❤
This has such a vivid combination of childlike joy and soft bittersweetness
Love your melodies. So playful

I was a back bencher like how my Nick name is ! Taking a front seat because of your music much love from Uganda
I adore all of Adam’s music. Can’t wait to get this album in the mail today 🦉 🌃
This song gives me the same feeling that firefly gave me when I was younger
There is something to be said about music that keeps the most important parts of you alive through the heat and bullshit of adulthood... There isn't meaning without these parts, and there wouldn't be these parts without Owl City! If I can appreciate the world today, it's because of music like this.
the outro, I loved the Outro!!! I see what you did there, and I love it
❤❤❤❤❤ this song made my day 😚
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
Owl City. Always have my heart.
Finally, i can say that owl city is back
You really are a legend.
I'm so happy to hear you guys sing and play again
