The saltwater room
I opened my eyes last nightAnd saw you in the low lightWalking down by the bay on the shoreStaring up at the planesThat aren't there anymore
I was feeling the night grow oldAnd you were looking so coldSo like an introvert, I drew my over shirtAround my arms and began to shiver violentlyBefore you happened to lookAnd see the tunnels all around meRunning into the dark underground
All the subways around create a great soundTo my motion fatigue, farewellWith your ear to a seashellYou can hear the waves in underwater cavesAs if you actually wereInside a saltwater room
Time together is just never quite enoughWhen you and I are aloneI've never felt so at homeWhat will it take to make or breakThis hint of love?We need time, only time
When we're apartwhatever are you thinking of?If this is what I call homeWhy does it feel so alone?So tell me darlingDo you wish we'd fall in loveAll the time, all the time?
Can you believe that the crew has goneAnd wouldn't let me sign on?All my islands have sunk in the deepSo I can hardly relax or even oversleep
I feel as if I were home some nightsWhen we count all the ship lightsI guess I'll never knowWhy sparrows love the snowWe'll turn off all of the lightsAnd set this ballroom aglow
(So tell me darlingDo you wish we'd fall in loveAll the time?)
Time together is just never quite enoughWhen you and I are aloneI've never felt so at homeWhat will it take to make or breakThis hint of love?We need time, only time
