the stars say:
"Past betrayals shouldn't scare you from great opportunities. Try to be open."

There's something about Death Cab's 'Transatlanticism'. as in, the song. everytime i hear it, i feel really sad. maybe sometimes to the point of faint tears. i never really listened to the lyrics; only subconsciously hearing the words. the mellow feel to the song just accentuates the sorrow.
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
Those 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 flood lands 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
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
how ironic and contrasting that it is right after 'Tiny Vessels' in the album; right after lines like:
This is the moment that you know
That you told you loved her but you don't
You touch her skin and then you think
That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me
Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me
i need you so much closer
i need you so much closer
