[English]

Can you help me

I'm feeling down

It's just that I'm really anxious for a lady

Come and get me

I'm not alright

Don't you worry about the love coming on

The Atlantic

Ten hours flight

Please just wake me up soon enough for the combing

In the back seat

You're on my mind

My head has never been so much in the clouds

Standing on the beach

I dream about the ways that I could reach

The sun upon your face

Split the ocean, grab my hand

I want Maryland

Back into your arms

At your place

Split the ocean, grab my hand

I want Maryland

Oh you bridge the distance, baby

Can you help me

I'm shaking badly

Watch out

My drink is spilling down on my knees, yeah

Coming shortly by Love Airline

Could there be snakes on the plane? I don't mind

Standing on the beach

I dream about the ways that I could reach

The sun upon your face

Split the ocean, grab my hand

I want Maryland

Back into your arms

At your place

Split the ocean, grab my hand

I want Maryland

Oh you bridge the distance, baby

...

Split the ocean, grab my hand

I want Maryland

Back into your arms

At your place

Split the ocean, grab my hand

I want Maryland

Oh you bridge the distance, baby

...

Split the ocean, grab my hand

I want Maryland

Oh, you bridge the distance, baby

...

The Atlantic
