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, forever more
And 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
 [bad word] 

I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
I need you so much closer
