I wouldn´t care if you´d go now
But I wouldn´t dare to say it out loud
Your eyes are mean, they´re scaring me
And I can´t keep it calm
From a thousand feet under the sea
You call

You spoke in tones I never heard before
Your words were songs that shook me to the core
I wish I´d known they´d bring me far from home

I swam ´til my feet could touch the seabed
I moved ´til my dreams weren´t better than dead
I came too close
I burnt my nose and moaned
But once I chose it I could never go back home

I lost my heart to a giant, purple octopus
And I sacrificed my life for a greater purpose

I felt your body and it gave me chills
I watched so closely it became surreal
My time is gone
I feel my lungs go numb
And now I know I can never go back home

I lost my heart to a giant, purple octopus
And I sacrificed my life for a greater purpose
