Released as the first single off of his upcoming 2015 album, Mobile Orchestra, Owl City and Aloe Blacc join hands to create a powerful theme of moving on with power, with a theme of graduation portrayed in the album art and the lyric video.
Adam confirmed this theme in the official Owl City newslet...
[Verse 1: Aloe Blacc]
Ain't too sure what I believe in
I believe in what I see
And when I close my eyes
I see my whole life ahead of me
[Pre-Chorus: Owl City & Aloe Blacc]
These are our hours
This is our time (this is our time)
These are our hours
Out on the verge
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives
[Chorus: Owl City]
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives tonight
Top of the world and we're dressed to the nines tonight
Edge of the Earth and we're touching the sky tonight
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives
[Pre-Chorus: Owl City & Aloe Blacc]
These are our hours
This is our time
These are our hours
Out on the verge
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives
[Chorus: Owl City]
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives tonight
Top of the world and we're dressed to the nines tonight
Edge of the Earth and we're touching the sky tonight
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives
[Verse 2: Aloe Blacc]
From now on, there’s no looking back
Full-steam ahead on this one-way track
From this day forth, I will make a promise
To be true to myself and always be honest
For the rest of my life
I will do what’s right
I will do what’s right
When I'm step out on the verge
[Chorus: Owl City]
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives tonight
Top of the world and we're dressed to the nines tonight
Edge of the Earth and we're touching the sky tonight
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives
[Outro]
Edge of the Earth and we’re touching the sky tonight
Out on the verge of the rest of our lives
Verge was written by Matthew Thiessen & Owl City & Emily Wright & Aloe Blacc.
Verge was produced by Aloe Blacc & Adam Young.
Adam said in a recent Instagram post that the song was about “the first step of an adventure”
