Owl city _ Saltwater Room


year: 2009


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 stars that aren’t there anymore


I was feeling the night,grow old and you were looking so cold

So 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 the Saltwater Room


Time together isn't ever 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

only time, 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 we'll never know, why sparrows love the snow

We'll turn off all of the lights, and set this ballroom aglow


Time together isn't ever 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

only 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.


Time together isn't ever 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 darling do you wish we’d fall in love

All the time
