(+) Transatlanticism
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.
those 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
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
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
