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 islands 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 rythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door
Have been silenced forevermore
And the distance is quite simply much to far for me to row:
It seems farther than ever before (oh no)

I need you so much closer...
