You're My World

Atlas Atlas

And with the smile like an ocean wave, you catapult around the sun
To meet me at the other side to tell me that you found it fun
Swimming in the uv rays you shouted like the sound of thunder
Booming through my stupid shades and shook all of the ground undone

I slipped into your beauty like a mudslide
And on my search I, found nothing but upsides
Your arms extend like branches and whenever we touch
I feel the bark begin to soften up at all my sappy punch lines
Maybe that's the reason

You're my earth
You're the planet
You're the grass
The wind and tides

And now that you're gone I feel so out of place
And now that you're gone I'm just drifting through space
And now that you're gone I feel so out of place
And now that you're gone I'm just drifting through space

And when we split up like pangea, I was hoping that we could reform
A land bridge between our separate pieces of the earth before
Our disconnect began to breed a species that would hurt much more
Than carnivores, herbivores, recklessness or urban swarm

Or maybe I could wash up on a certain shore smiling
Past the long night of drinking in the lights above the island
Watching lightning flash every time you open up your eyelids
Gentle smirks exploding like a fire in the sky

Till you scared away the forest creatures sleeping in the trees
And they begin to huddle next to me weeping in the leaves
See I've seen you change the temperature, increasing the degrees
Till the warmth was just enough to let them nestling in peace

I never thought there'd be a problem that we couldn't solve
When you control the weathers climate, and the sea levels and all
But I suppose that when an earthquake splits the crust among the faults
I shouldn't act as if the damage wouldn't break up those involved

You were my earth
You were the planet
You were the grass
The wind and tides

And now that you're gone I feel so out of place
And now that you're gone I'm just drifting through space
And now that you're gone I feel so out of place
And now that you're gone I'm just drifting through space
