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 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
