Lyrics What Changed with "Transatlanticism" - Death Cab for Cutie

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 home

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

So come on

Come on

So come on

Come on

So come on

Come on

So come on

Come on
