How I became the sea
June was the lobster shellI dug by handA haven that hid me wellBeneath the sand
The wide windy waves washed inBut I stayed dryThe grave breakers broke againAs I nodded off and sighed
(Chorus)And thenWhen the empress ran agroundAnd my eyes turned blue and greenI heard a gorgeous soundAnd that's when it became a dreamWhen the sky fell inWhen the hurricanes came for meI could finally crash againAnd that's how I became the sea
I wrenched the engines offAnd drank them downThe depths turned the iron softAs they swiftly drownedAnd I brought the oceansideTo its rusty kneesAs I felt the even tideDeep in my shallow dreams
(Chorus)
(When the sky fell in)When the sky fell in(When the sky fell in)When the hurricanes came for meI could finally crash again(Crash again)And that's how I became the sea
(How I became the sea)That's how I became the sea(How I became the sea)That's how I became the sea
(How I became the sea...)
(When the sky fell inWhen the hurricanes came for meI could finally crash againAnd that's how I became the sea)
