This song, about a plane crash which leaves its passengers stranded in Atlantis, serves as a sequel to the song “Air Hostess” from Busted’s second album, A Present for Everyone.
[Verse 1]
I heard you say that it's over now
You held my hand as the plane went down
We both passed out but we came around
Our heads were buried in the ground
[Verse 2]
We were half dead but half alive
A miracle we both survived
Washed up on a shore in a yellow raft
We cried until we laughed
Is this an island no one's ever been?
I've seen it in a magazine
[Chorus]
It keeps getting better
Since we both crash landed, stay here forever
Shipwrecked in Atlantis
Such beautiful weather
It's almost like we planned it, how did we ever
End up shipwrecked in Atlantis?
[Verse 3]
Having the best time of our lives
Dining with salt bae every night
A piece of Heaven in every bite
Then throwing it up on water slides
The sunset slowly fades away (Away)
Thinking about the fact that we can't pay
[Chorus]
It keeps getting better
Since we both crash landed, stay here forever
Shipwrecked in Atlantis
Such beautiful weather
It's almost like we planned it, how did we ever
End up shipwrecked in Atlantis?
[Bridge]
Although this place is very nice
The food is kinda overpriced
Why does this chicken taste like fish?
Or is it just a vegan dish?
[Chorus]
It keeps getting better
Since we both crash landed, stay here forever
Shipwrecked in Atlantis
Such beautiful weather
It's almost like we planned it, how did we ever
End up shipwrecked in Atlantis?
[Outro]
I'll never forget this
Shipwrecked in Atlantis
(I hope it never ends)
I'll never forget this
(I hope it never ends)
Shipwrecked in Atlantis
(I hope it never ends, I hope it never ends)
It keeps getting better
(I hope it never ends)
Since we both crash landed, stay here forever
(I hope it never ends, I hope it never ends)
Shipwrecked in Atlantis
(I hope it never ends)
Such beautiful weather
(I hope it never ends)
It's almost like we planned it, how did we ever
(I hope it never ends, I hope it never ends)
End up shipwrecked in Atlantis?
(I hope it never ends)
