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
 ♪
 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

 So come on, come on

 So come on, come on

 So come on, come on

 So come on, come on
