The Saltwater Room

Lirik
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

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
