Adam Young - Saltwater Room lyrics

rate me

I opened my eyes last night, and saw you in the low light<br />

Walking down by the bay, on the shore, staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore<br />

I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold<br />

Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt<br />

Around my arms and began to shiver violently before<br />

You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me<br />

Running into the dark underground<br />

All the subways around create a great sound<br />

To my motion fatigue: farewell<br />

With your ear to a seashell<br />

You can hear the waves in underwater caves<br />

As if you actually were inside a saltwater room<br />

<br />

Time together isn't ever quite enough<br />

When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home<br />

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?<br />

We need time, only time<br />

When we're apart, whatever are you thinking of?<br />

If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?<br />

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?<br />

All the time, all the time<br />

<br />

Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn't let me sign on<br />

All my islands have sunk in the deep, so I can hardly relax or even oversleep<br />

I feel as if I were home some nights, when we count all the ship lights<br />

I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow <br />

We'll turn out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow<br />

<br />

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?<br />

All the time.<br />

<br />

Time together isn't ever quite enough<br />

When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home<br />

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?<br />

We need time, only time<br />

When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?<br />

If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?<br />

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?<br />

All the time, all the time<br />

<br />

Time together isn't ever quite enough<br />

When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?<br />

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?<br />

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?<br />

All the time
