Lyrics Death Cab For Cutie - Transatlantic

# 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 [x8]
#

# [instrumental break]
#

# I need you so much closer [x4]
#

# So come on, come on
