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 [x4]
