Lyrics
I became everything I wanted to
Becoming
All I’m asking for is a break in the delusion
I find that when I sleep, that’s when I am most lucid
I can’t take these dreams of green eyes needing me
spark of lighting to my being won’t take my mind from where you sleep
I became an ocean
Then I became everything
Carried by the riptide with my eyes on the shoreline
And turning from a storm to stream
I thought that I could make you dream
But when I felt you let go baby
Calypso I stayed
Why’d you clear up that haze?
Just to leave that day, only to leave me changed
Never could face how you loved in vain
Tear drops fall like summer rain
A color day dream drifting down stream
At last this scene of love has passed
Some distant memory, how big and brave were we
So close were you and me but far from what I see
Chorus:
I became an ocean
Then I became everything
Carried by the riptide with my eyes on the shoreline
And turning from a storm to stream
I thought that I could make you dream
But when I felt let go baby
Calypso I stayed
