Owl City - The Saltwater Room Lyrics

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 

Chorus: 
Girl: (Time together is just never quite enough) 
Boy: When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home 
Girl: (What will it take to make or break this hint of love?) 
Both: only time 

Can you believe that the crew has gone and wouldn’t let me sign on? 
All my islands have sunk in the deep, 
And I can hardly relax or even oversleep 
But i feel warm with your hand in mine, when we walk along the shoreline 
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 darlaing do you wish we'd fall in love) 
(All the time) 

Chorus: 
Girl: (Time together is just never quite enough) 
Boy: When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home 
Girl: (What will it take to make or break this hint of love?) 
We need time,
Both: only time 
Girl: (When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?) 
Boy: If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone? 
Girl: (So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?) 
All the time,
Both: all the time 

Girl:(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 darlaing do you wish we'd fall in love) 
(All the time)
