Transatlanticism

atlantic was born today The and I'll tell you how

The clouds above opened up and let it out

I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere

When the water filled every hole

And thousands upon thousands made an ocean

Making islands where no island should go

Oh no

Those people were overjoyedthey took to their boats

I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat

The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flood lands to your door have been silenced forever more

The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row

It seems farther than ever before

Oh no

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

Instrumental break

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

I need you so much closer

So come on, come on

So come on, come on

So come on, come on

So come on, come on
