Transatlanticism (Song of the Day)


This song was in a movie I just watched last night, and today as 
I looked out my window and saw the rain begin to fall, I thought 
it was a beautiful song to play. 
 Transatalnticism
n. The emotions and desire for intimacy, melancholy and hope while being 
 being in a long-distance relationship with another person over the Atlantic Ocean. 
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
So come on, come on...
