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
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 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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/o/owl_city/the_saltwater_room.html ]
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
I feel as if I were home some nights
When we count all the ship lights
I guess we'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
Time together is just never quite enough
When you and I are alone, I've never felt so 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
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 darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
Owl city writes the most clever lyrics and rhymes i have ever seen. And they make it work perfectly. Better than perfect. Owl city is the best! And this song, as well as rainbow veins and super honeymoon
Omg! I live this song! Its so cool! I listen to it everyday and sing it over and over! Best song ever!

Aku buka mataku tadi malam, dan kulihat dirimu dalam keremangan
menyusuri laut, tepi pantai
memandangi pesawat yang sudah tidak ada lagi disana
aku merasakan malam semakin menua dan kau terlihat begitu dingin
begitu tertutup, kugambar kaosku

One couple can't seem to find quiet time to themselves.

I have the album 'ocean eyes' and he so obviously says stars and not planes so, yeah. As for the song, i love it and it's very powerful. However, it makes me angry. Don't bother asking why.
