Verse 1 (Sami) We were new to making promises And there were few we didn’t keep We’d spend our days talking bout the future And there was no place in the word I’d rather be Time was lazy when we were younger But ambitious time picked up some speed I woke one day beneath the water While she sailed across the surface of the sea Did I abandon her or did she… Chorus Call out to me (harmonized) (Shannon) I’m floating to Atlantis Come with me We both know I’m scared to swim But honey give me time and then Even if I don’t know what the plan is I’ll find some way to meet you in Atlantis….in Atlantis Verse 2 (Shannon) I watched her sink into the water I didn’t think she’d ever leave me She was always hungry for adventure And I was too afraid to dive for dreams So I stayed where I was safe Chorus Until she, sang out to me (harmonized) (Sami) I’m moving to Atlantis come with me I will teach you how to swim You and I can now begin Baby I don’t care what the whole plan is We’ll figure out the details in Atlantis (Shannon) In Atlantis Outro (Sami) Come with me (come on baby) to Atlantis (Shannon) Stay with me (Sami) Stay with me (Shannon) In Atlantis (Sami) In Atlantis In Atlantis (Shannon) I want you here with me In Atlantis (Sami) I want to take you to Atlantis Let’s go Let’s go Let’s go down to Atlantis (Shannon) In Atlantis (Sami) Let’s go Let’s go down to Atlantis (Begin fade to end) (Shannon) In Atlantis In Atlantis In Atlantis
