This is a song about two people who have grown apart.
| 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 | |
| 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 |
