In many Owl City songs, Adam creatively sings from the points of view of his nature-oriented characters. This song is no exception with Adam taking on the varied personas of a mountaineer, a manta ray, the moon, a sea horse, albatross, and a lighthouse, to greet the city of Seattle.

Hello Seattle (Ocean Eyes Version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your mouth
[Verse 2]
Hello Seattle, I am a manta ray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I'll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home
[Verse 3]
Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you
[Verse 4]
Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze
[Verse 5]
Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and moored boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind
[Verse 6]
Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright light
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taking heed for everyone
[Bridge]
Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
[Chorus]
Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight
[Outro]
Take me above your light (Hello Seattle)
Carry me though the night (I am a mountaineer, in the hills and highlands)
Hold me secure in flight (I fall asleep in hospital)
Sing me to sleep tonight (Parking lots)
