How I Became the Sea - Owl City (猫头鹰之城)

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 ocean side to its rusty knees

As I felt the even tide deep in 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 how I became the sea

How I became the sea how I became the sea

How I became the sea how I became the sea

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
