Binary Sea - Death Cab For Cutie

Oh Atlas could not understand

The world was so much smaller than

The one he used to hold before

But the weight it brought him to the floor

As you watched him struggle to his feet

You took photos capturing his defeat

And messaged them to all your friends

And we all laughed at his expense

Oh come my love and swim with me

Out in this vast Binary Sea

Zeros and ones patterns appear

They ll prove to all that we were here

For if there is no document

We cannot build our monument

So look into the lens and

I ll make sure this moment never dies

Oh Atlas could not stay engaged

Was more distracted every day

You slowly fell into disarray

Just trying to think of something to say

For if there is no document

There cannot be a monument

So lean in close or lend an ear

There s something brilliant bound to happen h
