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 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?

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

When 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 out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow

So tell me darlin', 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 what ever 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 what ever 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
