张成尧、文若涵 - 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
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
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
All the time
