Lyrics
0:34The atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how
0:47The clouds above opened up and let it out
1:00I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphere
1:10When the water filled every hole
1:15And thousands upon thousands made an ocean
1:21Making islands where no island should go
1:29Oh no
2:02Those people were overjoyedthey took to their boats
2:17I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat
2:31The rhythm of my footsteps
2:34Crossing flood lands to your door
2:40Have been silenced forever more
2:45The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row
2:53It seems farther than ever before
2:59Oh no
3:02I need you so much closer
3:09I need you so much closer
3:17I need you so much closer
3:25I need you so much closer
3:32I need you so much closer
3:40I need you so much closer
3:47I need you so much closer
3:54I need you so much closer
5:49I need you so much closer
5:55I need you so much closer
6:03I need you so much closer
6:10I need you so much closer
6:32So come on come on
6:47So come on come on
7:02So come on come on
7:17So come on come on
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 overjoyedthey 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
