Transatlanticism
Written By: Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla	Recorded: Spring 2003
Lyrics
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 islands 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 And the distance is quite simply much to far for me to row; it seems farther than ever before (oh no...) I need you so much closer... So come on; come on...
Found On

Notes
Excerpt taken from hallofjusticerecording.com: "I used a few pieces of 'Radio' in the song 'Transatlanticism'; they're in the same key and it made sense. It's nice to share."
