The Saltwater Room

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low lightWalking down by the bay on the shoreStaring up at the plans that aren't there anymoreI was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so coldSo like an introvert, I drew my over shirtAround my arms and began to shiver violentlyBefore you happened to look and see the tunnels all around meRunning into the dark undergroundAll the subways around create a great soundTo my motion fatigue, farewell with your ear to a seashellYou can hear the waves in underwater cavesAs if you actually were inside a saltwater roomTime together is just never quite enoughWhen you and I are alone, I've never felt so at homeWhat will it take to make or break this hint of love?We need time, only timeWhen 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 timeCan 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 oversleepI feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lightsI guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snowWe'll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglowSo tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love, all the time?Time together is just never quite enoughWhen you and I are alone, I've never felt so at homeWhat will it take to make or break this hint of love?We need time, only timeWhen 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 timeTime together is just never quite enoughWhen 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
