Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlanticism lyrics

The Atlantic was born today
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

Most people were overjoyed
They took to their boats
I thought it less like a lake
And more like a moat
The rhythm of my footsteps crossing
Flatlands to your door
Have been silenced forevermore
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

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
So come on, come on so come on, come on
