Atlantic

Van Risseghem · Passenger [2011]

Ticking like a clock

We are hands surrounding, surrounding

Embracing one last time

Hear the pounding, the pounding

Of my heart up against your chest

Is it boarding time? Not just yet



I just want to waste

A few more seconds, just a second

If that ship sails away

I say we let it, you bet it

Wouldn't matter at all to me

A chain undone, a bond set free



I find when I'm alone

Without you I'm just a bag of bones

Don't hold your breath and dive below

Thousand of miles across the Atlantic

And you're still my home



She's so beautiful

Wants me to love her, to love her

Has trouble believing

I won't find another, there's no other

Committed am I that she is the other half of me

I just want to live life unordinary, extraordinary

Oh waves and distant shores

Don't be wary, don't be wary

We'll surround ourselves in miracles traced in unpredictables



I find when I'm alone

Without you I'm just a bag of bones

Don't hold your breath and dive below

Thousand of miles across the Atlantic

And you're still my home
