The saltwater room lyrics

I opened my eyes last night

And saw you in the low light

Walking down by the bay on the shore

Staring up at the planes

That aren't there anymore

I was feeling the night grow old

And you were looking so cold

So like an introvert, I drew my over shirt

Around my arms and began to shiver violently

Before you happened to look

And see the tunnels all around me

Running into the dark underground

All the subways around create a great sound

To my motion fatigue, farewell

With your ear to a seashell

You can hear the waves in underwater caves

As if you actually were

Inside a saltwater room

Time together is just never quite enough

When you and I are alone

I've never felt so at home

What will it take to make or break

This hint of love?

We need time, only time

When we're apart

whatever are you thinking of?

If this is what I call home

Why does it feel so alone?

So tell me darling

Do you wish we'd fall in love

All the time, all the time?

Can you believe that the crew has gone

And wouldn't let me sign on?

All my islands have sunk in the deep

So I can hardly relax or even oversleep

I feel as if I were home some nights

When we count all the ship lights

I guess I'll never know

Why sparrows love the snow

We'll turn off all of the lights

And set this ballroom aglow

(So tell me darling

Do you wish we'd fall in love

All the time?)

Time together is just never quite enough

When you and I are alone

I've never felt so at home

What will it take to make or break

This hint of love?

We need time, only time

When we're apart

Whatever are you thinking of?

If this is what I call home

Why does it feel so alone?

So tell me darling

Do you wish we'd fall in love

All the time, all the time?

Time together is just never quite enough

When we're apart

Whatever are you thinking of?

What will it take to make or break

This hint of love?

So tell me darling

Do you wish we'd fall in love

All the time?
