[Verse 1] Down where the coral folds I slip through green-blue glass My mask full of salt and sun I drift where the shadows pass A fin kick, slow and sly A spark in the seaweed maze Then something pale at the reef line Caught in the current haze [Pre-Chorus] I reach for it It turns in my hand A spiral door In a grain of sand [Chorus] Mushroom seashell Open up, open up Mushroom seashell Pull me down, pull me up There’s a whole world Turning inside Mushroom seashell Let me dive, let me dive [Verse 2] I hear tiny thunder drums From a chamber under bone A tide within a tide And I’m never alone Inside, a second ocean With moonfish made of light Jelly suns are blooming In a velvet night [Pre-Chorus] I lean in close And the wall goes thin A million waves Are breathing in [Chorus] Mushroom seashell Open up, open up Mushroom seashell Pull me down, pull me up There’s a whole world Turning inside Mushroom seashell Let me dive, let me dive [Bridge] [Half-time, hazy and warped] I saw a whale made of rain Sailing under a coral sky Saw my own small face In the eye of a passing tide A tunnel of pearl light A city built on foam Every little drop I knew Had found a secret home [Chorus] Mushroom seashell Open up, open up Mushroom seashell Pull me down, pull me up There’s a whole world Turning inside Mushroom seashell Let me dive, let me dive [Outro] I came back with salt on my tongue And stars in my lungs Mushroom seashell Still singing when I’m young Mushroom seashell Still singing when I’m young
