.i need you so much closer.

you see there's this song that i've avoided listening to because i know what it's about and i knew what it would do to me. but it came on random yesterday and then i put it on a playlist and now i can't stop listening to it even though it makes me cry every time. every single time. damnit.

the atlantic was born today and i'll tell yuo 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 overjoyed; they took 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
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
so come on, come on

too much of the time i feel like i'm just going to go crazy. this is all such a contradiction.
