Dustin explains the meaning of “Atlantic” this way:
“Atlantic” was the working title because it felt cold and lonely to me, and we ended up keeping it. I wrote a couple of complete sets of lyrics to this song in the studio. In the end, it turned out to be a love song, which is a little rare for us,...
[Verse 1]
It's been so long
And tin cans and string for years
Is all that we've known
Could it be you're really here?
[Chorus]
'Cause my eyes are open
And everything still moves in slow motion
Breathless and blue, and behind your eyes, the sea
Oceans of light envelop me
[Verse 2]
But things can't be as they seem
I'm so far from home
This must be another dream
[Chorus]
But my eyes are open
And everything still moves in slow motion
Breathless and blue and behind your eyes, the sea
Oceans of light envelop me
My eyes are open
And everything still moves in slow motion
Breathless and blue and behind your eyes, the sea
Oceans of light envelop me
