The Saltwater Room——Owl City



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

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
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?
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
