Owl City - Humbug [Official Audio]

That moment the first few flakes start falling
Is the moment before I burst into tears
'Cause snow in the air means Christmas shopping
And the thought of it all just stresses me out

Wo-oh-oe is me
Wo-oh-oe is me

Would she kinda like this canary yellow?
Or does she already own way too many scarves?
I could get her a backpack and something to carry
This is way too much pressure, it's breaking my heart

Wo-oh-oe is me
Wo-oh-oe is me

I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I haven't found it yet
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
So I'll give you my heart
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm ready to say, "Bah Humbug!"
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah, bah humbug!
Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah...

I could get her a gift card to Olive Garden
But what if Red Lobster is way more her thing?
I don't even know
Well how 'bout a bike, or like a ukelele?
Or how 'bout I jump out the window? (window [x4])
Yeah, how 'bout I jump out the window? (window [x4])
Singing 'Joy to the World' face down in the snow!

I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I haven't found it yet
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
So I'll give you my heart, I hope it'll do
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm ready to say

I'll wrap myself in paper and sit under the tree
'Cause the best gift I can give you is this heart inside of me!

I'm ready to wrap that perfect Christmas gift
But I ain't found it yet!
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you (here's my heart)
So I'll give you my heart, I hope it'll do
I wander around the store again and again
But all I do is shrug
'Cause I don't have a clue what to get you
And I'm 'bout ready to say, "Bah humbug!"

Sorry for the hand towels!
Bah humbug!
Sorry for the Yankee candles!
Bah humbug!
Sorry for all this useless junk!
The best gift I have to give
Is my love

(Huh. I hate shopping)

[puchunful]

It's a crime that I have never heard this song being blasted throughout the malls during Christmas. More Owl City everywhere!

[irfansyahril]

"Or how about I jump out the window"
"I hate shopping"
Aaaand the award to best lyrics go to...

[cocoacandycorn]

"Or how bout I jump out the window"
"Singing Joy to the World face down in the snow"
Two of the most relatable sentences I've ever heard

[AppleSlizerd]

I just realized Owl City's always been with me through all of my teenage years, which is probably why I'm the person I am.
Thanks, Adam, for all you've done.

[Rindew]

"I'll wrap myself in paper and sit under the tree because the best gift I can give you is this heart inside of me" relate!!!XD

When I was about 7, my big brother popped an Owl City CD into the car and everyone began singing along. Meanwhile, I sat in the back, not understanding half the words, but loving every second of it. To this day, every time I'm happy, or sad, or can't sleep, or have a headache, or when I'm up at 2 am typing a story I've been working on for over a year. Who knows, maybe one day I'll end up on Jeopardy or something and the final question will be about Owl City songs. But, either way, Owl City, Sky Sailing, and Swimming with Dolphins have been some of the best things in my life. They're so important to my life, and I've made so many friends through talking about Adam and singing to the songs. Even before Fireflies, I sat there, listening to songs like Gold, Steady as She Goes, and now this song Humbug. I'm in love with every song Adam comes up with, is is like a whole new level of love. So, I just want to say thank you, Adam. You've made my life this amazing thing it is today. And your songs have shown me a new part of my life at I love so so much. So, thank you. :)

This is the most relatable Christmas song ever

[ieLindy]

Adam is one of those people who makes me wish I knew him personally and could talk to him face to face.

[kbetch]

Honestly if Adam Young was wrapped up under my tree I would be satisfied for the rest of my life.

[diannedepalubos]

"The best gift I could give you is this heart inside of me."

Damn you never fail to amaze me.

[yamkalyxta]

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A 200% HAPPIER VERSION OF THIS ISNT THE END IM EXPLODING

[maluska]

the jumping out of the window part is so accurate yet so funny bc the upbeat tone makes it hilarious (and kinda sad bc

[ClaireWestfall]

If this is the direction that Owl City is headed than I love it!! It sounds so new but so classic Owl City. 👌👌

[ashfkjhjsdaahlhkjhfgdsfds]

[kiaracarrasco]

OH MY GOD ADAM YOU'RE BACK WE'VE MISSED YOU

[zel]

How about I jump out the window...singing Joy to the World face down in the snow? 😂😂

[derpyaxolotl]

2:10
Grime: How bout I jump out the window
Sasha: the Window!?
Grime: *throws Sasha out the window then jumps out after her*
Grime: AHA! A flawless escape
Sasha: And did you have a plan for AFTER you threw us out the window?!
We’ll be right back

I like this trend of Adam Young making cheesy holiday songs every few years. :)

[Katetengen]

I was literally just on a Nostalgia trip listening to "Fireflies" and then I saw this and smiled with absolute joy.

[peace.in.liminality]

I literally just came back from downloading the song, just so I could hear the song. Seriously, I could of just waited one single minute. this song is just adorable!
