Madeline Island Lyrics by Owl City

Cinematic

2018

[Verse 1]
We bought a tent and some sleeping bags
And we jumped in the truck
North bound on I-35
Before the sun came up
We stopped for lunch in Canal Park
Passing through Duluth
Rolled into Bayfield, Wisconsin
And there she was
Madeline Island

[Verse 2]
We left our cares on the mainland
Boarded a ferry boat
We saw La Pointe for the first time
And we felt right at home
Drove out to Big Bay State Park
Picked out our campsite
We settled in underneath the stars
And there we were

[Chorus]
Out there in the great Lake Superior
Right across the bay
We sat back, put our feet up and there we were
Half a world away
Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves
With every passing day
It was all a blur, but there we were
On Madeline Island
Madeline Island

[Verse 3]
We left our shadows on the lake shore
We soaked up all the sights
About drowned in a downpour
But for the Northern Lights
We shot the breeze under pine trees
And sat around the fire
We hit the hay beneath the Milky Way
And there we were

[Chorus]
Out there in the great Lake Superior
Right across the bay
We sat back, put our feet up and there we were
Half a world away
Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves
With every passing day
It was all a blur, but there we were
On Madeline Island

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Out there in the great Lake Superior
Right across the bay
We sat back, put our feet up and there we were
Half a world away
Where the waves turned the cliffs into sea caves
With every passing day
It was all a blur, but there we were
On Madeline Island
Madeline Island
There we were on Madeline Island

[Outro]
We made a memory
That will always last
But we went on that trip
Just the three and Max
