I had this dream
That the sea was calling me home
But I was scared to go
In my dream the sea was calling me home
But I was scared of losing myself
Scared of just being a blend in with everyone else
And it felt like dying
The dream felt like dying
When the sea was calling me home

In my dream the sea was calling me home
But I was scared to go
Had a dream that the sea was calling me home
But I was scared of losing myself
Scared of blending in with everyone else
And it felt like dying
When the sea was calling me home

Lyrics

I had a dream that the sea was calling me home
But I was scared to go
In my dream the sea was calling me home
But I was afraid of losing myself
I was afraid of blending in
With everyone else
The sea was calling me home

In my dream the sea was calling me home
And I was scared to go
In my dream the sea was calling me home
But I was scared of losing myself
Scared of blending in
With everyone else
It felt like dying
This felt like dying
As the sea was calling me home

Lyrics

In my dream the sea was calling me home
And I was afraid to go
In my dream the sea was calling me home
But I didn't go
I couldn't answer the call
I was afraid of losing the personality
That I have
In the dream the sea was calling my name
And the waves were as tall as I was
In my dream it was a cloudy morning
By the waves
Which were tall as I was
But I not ready to go
Shook my head
And said no
Cause this felt like dying
When the sea was calling
Me home

Lyrics

[I had a dream that the sea was calling]

I had a dream
That the sea was trying to call me home
And I was scared to go
In my dream the sea was trying to call me home
But I was scared of losing myself
Scared of just blending in with everyone else
And it felt like I was dying
When the sea was trying to call me home

In my dream the sea was calling me home
And I was scared to go
Had a dream that the sea was calling me home
But I was scared of losing myself
Scared of blending in with everyone else
And it felt like dying
It felt like dying
When the sea was calling me home

Had a dream the sea was calling me home
And I was scared to go
