The Saltwater Room

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 stars

That aren't there anymore

I was feeling the night grow old

And you were looking so cold

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 isn't ever 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?

Only time, only time

Can you believe that the crew has gone

And they wouldn't let me sign on?

All my islands have sunk in the deep

And I can hardly relax

Or even oversleep

But I feel warm with your hand in mine

When we walk along the shoreline

I guess we'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?)

(Yeah all the time)

(All the time)

Time together isn't ever 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?

Only 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 isn't ever 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

Oh, all the time
