Owl City - How I Became The Sea

June was the lobster shell I dug by hand
A haven that hid me well beneath the sand
The wide windy waves washed in, but I stayed dry
The great breakers broke again, as I nodded off inside

And then, when the Empress ran aground
And my eyes turned blue and green
I heard a gorgeous sound
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again
And that's how I became the sea

I wrenched the engines off and drank them down
The depths turned the iron soft as they swiftly drowned
And I brought the oceanside to its rusty knees
As I felt the even tide deepen my shallow dreams And then, when the Empress ran aground
And my eyes turned blue and green
I heard a gorgeous sound
And that's when it became a dream
When the sky fell in
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally crash again
And that's how I became the sea

When the sky fell in (When the sky fell in)
When the hurricanes came for me
I could finally 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

(When the sky fell in)
(When the hurricanes came for me)
(I could finally crash again)
(And that's how I became the sea)

(How I became the sea)
