[Verse 1]
Someone's walking over my grave
Sudden shiver, taking a dip in a river in winter
Cold breeze caressing frozen cheeks
You're heartless
Someone's walking over her grave
Sudden shivers, moving the pieces of her
Within her
Boldly pretending you're wrong
[Chorus]
Jump into the Atlantic
When you've taken all the pain of it all
Jump into the Atlantic
When you fall
Jump into the Atlantic
When you wanna heal it all
Jump into the Atlantic
Into the sounds of silence
[Verse 2]
Someone's falling out of old ways
Love drifter, caught in the winds of desire
Smooth shifter
You've even forgotten all about your heartbreak
Something's getting washed off with waves
Sun's center, reflecting light off the water, it glimmers
See a breeze, you've gone and moved on
[Chorus]
Jump into the Atlantic
When you've taken all the pain of it all
Jump into the Atlantic
When you fall
Jump into the Atlantic
When you wanna heal it all
Jump into the Atlantic
To the sounds of silence
[Chorus]
Jump into the Atlantic
When you've taken all the pain of it all
Jump into the Atlantic
When you fall
Jump into the Atlantic
When you wanna heal it all
Jump into the Atlantic
To the sounds of silence
[Outro]
Silence
Silence
Silence
Silence
