The Atlantic Songtext
von The Dodos

You′ve gone off into battle
With nothing but blistering rage
Was looking for something to rattle
Got nowhere beyond this cage
My eyes can't see the handle
It′s fallen off of the door
I know that it's just a shadow
Of something that came before

I see right through this mantle
I still believe in you
I see right through this mantle
I still believe the distance between

As you were standing there across
The Atlantic ocean
We couldn't find our way across
The Atlantic ocean


I′m talking low
But I′m thinking loud
Should I get away from this?
But I see you there and it gives me pause
I know better than to quit, but I wait

I see right through this mantle
I still believe in you
I see right through this mantle
I still believe the distance between

As you were standing there across
The Atlantic ocean
We couldn't find our way across
The Atlantic ocean
The Atlantic ocean

(I′ll always see right through this)
(I'll always see right through this)

I know it′s about to change
But I don't think I can see it
The world′s about to change
But I don't think I can feel it

I know it's about to change
But I don′t think I can see it
The world′s about to change
But I don't think I can feel it
