Dear friend, the ocean is changing.
I've grown to something amazing.
I miss you; I wish you were here.
This world is a strange place, there's so much to share.

Dear friend, I've learned a strange language.
I've talked to humans and told them our story.
They were so amazed when I showed them where it came from.
But you weren't there to share in the glory.

I sometimes doubt it myself,
So all I do now is breathe.
A lifetime can change in an instant.
How can I stop this breathing?

Dear friend, we once swam together
Those depths were safe from turbulent weather
Up here, the winter is much colder
When it rains, I feel your tears on my shoulder.

I want to hold you
I want to try
I want to dance with you tonight
So c'mon dear friend, you can breathe.

Dear friend, I'm sending this letter into the ocean,
I know that you're there.
I've seen things that you wouldn't believe.
Written in a language you can't read.
As it sinks, I pray I don't shatter.
I just want to share my world.
Lifetimes can change in an instant.
How could I stop this breathing?

I just want to share what it feels like in this world.
