Transatlanticism

Hey, are you there?
Can you still hear me?

Cause it would have been so nice if you can. We are so near but...it's silly. It kind of reminds me of this poem I wrote when I was a teenager. I'm not going to pen that stupid poem down here cause it was written when I was still a juvenile. Anyway, thanks to Ginny for highlighting this song and oh..it's beautiful. It touched my broken heart strings. This is pretty painful and painfully pretty at the same time. I dont know which is worse; being physically distant or metaphorically distant.

I think the latter will kill me more.

*sniff*


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

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
So come on, come on
So come on, come on
So come on, come on
- Transatlanticism, Death Cab For Cutie



P/S: It's time to cry my eyes out on Grey's Anatomy.
