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
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
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

Owl City The Saltwater Room Comments
This song reminds me of my first crush. Makes me think where they are now and how life has taken us in an opposite direction.
Adam Young, you talented, brilliant, musician yo really spoke to my heart seince i fell in love with your music back in 2009 im proud to be an OG fan of your amazing music!
简直是甜甜的恋爱的感觉 太美好了
Someone in my dreams: so tell me darling when's the best time to enjoy this song of love.
Me : All the time , all the time....
Just one more time before 2019 ends
When you and I are alone I never felt so at home
Memories memories memories.
This is pure
I ❤️u Owl City
listening to this almost 10 years later, nostalgia much
You can't find the music that has a real meaning what he want to say about us
Hello 5th grade me, its your boy 20 year old you 👋
Owl city may not be mainstream but it'll always live within us and our memories. Owl city helped me realize the smallest details in my life.
such an amazing underated love song, i fall in love with this song
This song makes me have memories I never had
Time goes by fast... I still love this song, I’ve never really understood how good of a song it is. Good work Owl City!
Brings me back to my freshmen year where all I had on my mind was girls and Minecraft
love you, sunshine. 💝
this is the first album i ever owned. i will always love Owl City.
Nostalgic ❤️ vibe
This is not the version of the song I remember. It’s actually much worse, Adam seems to be out of breath with every line.
The original lyrics (from Maybe I'm Dreaming) were weirder and made less sense, but I actually liked that, less cliche that way. :)
I came here from a meme
Well I hope the meme hasn't ruined it for you
"Tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love" <3
God how that line just gets me every time
the guitar melody at 3:04 is severely underrated
Jordan Risch finally someone who thinks so. Honestly something about it is really powerful.
All the guitar melodies in this song are just amazing
But the thing about it the thing about is that it has a lot to be used as the tug
trust me you are special if u came here after 10 years
this song solves all my problems
Ah jr year of high school
You guys will make a comeback again soon, I feel it 😊
WHY IS THIS SONG SO RELAXING AND AMAZING !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I don't know what to comment... I just love Owl City since he started...
This song is like the prequel to Postal Service’s “Nothing Better”
this makes me beyond sad because its 6th grade vibes and next week ill be 23.. crazy how fast time goes by. forever wishing i never wished to grow up so fast
the only song from Owl City that sound like a duet with Breanne Düren rather than putting her as usual background vocal
I think Honey and the Bee fits as a duet too
Best version
This song should have a billion views and 0 dislikes.
had my first kiss to this song 💖
All these years passed way too quickly.
🎵🎵Love this song so much, despite whatever situations I go through with my wife good or bad I'll always love you & dedicate this song to you.🎵🎵
Twisted feelings about this song, because I first heard it from someone who broke my body and heart in a million pieces. But the song is amazing and although it makes me think about him, I really love it. First heard it when I was 14, right after the release and I still listen to it on a daily basis.
Damn that bass hits hard
MY FAVORITE SONG BY HIM 🌊❤️
*Nostalgia can't leave the chat*
Nostalgia is the admin now.
Why does this keep on my TV but on ps4 or my device it plays just fine
uhm what, the stars that aren't there anymore? I swear it was planes when i listened to this years ago, it even rhymes with bay
You were listening to the version of Maybe I'm Dreaming (the previous album) the lyrics and flow change a little bit
when the sleighbells come in I get so emotional
My fav song on the album 💯🔥💚
Yup I totally agree Stott XD It's not even close ♥ Although I do enjoy the rest of this album ^^
Ah I remember listening to this song in Middle school and thinking of my 7th grade crush 😅 not my proudest moment, Middle school
Wow all army's really had the same experience huh
The username...im-
Bro same here
Middle School (or Junior High, as we call it here, in Canada) was all of our worst moments in life.
God I wish owl city was was still heard as much as it was used to be back then because this song calms my soul.
All the time.... all the time ...😌😌😌😌😉
Always a good song to listen to
2000's nostalgia trip.
There are some lyrics in this one that are different from the version I'm used to :O It tripped me up when I heard it. I must've been listening to an alternative version all this time
MellowJelly there is the original from the first album! I was used to that one too, I like them both :)
I love this song and Honey and the Bee! It makes me a little sad when I hear it, but I could listen to it all day and never get bored😁
I love Owl City
I think I'm going to break the repeat button
Wow just 36 comments
Ah...I’ve been listening to Adam for so long. His music has helped me through so much....❤️❤️ thank you.
So sweet! I have no romantic life but still!
"When time tells."
I may not be a OG Owl City fan But I wish to god I knew bout his music 10 years ago but I would never even know cause I was in kindergarten and know imma sophomore in high school
Michael Napolitano I was a massive fan from ocean eyes to midsummer station. Haven’t listened to many after.
Michael Napolitano You’re the age I was when it came out, besides I was in 9th grade. I listened to this album religiously! Enjoy it! Music isn’t like this anymore!
fucking M E
I listened to this in 10th grade, still makes my heart break 10-11 years later. Enjoy ❤
1.5 speed = pure joy
Thanks.
Hm not for me haha
Oh god no
i_i it’s ok ig
Its like nightcore
I never never ever leave sappy comments like this, but what the hell. This girl in my mid 20s fell hard for me and she used to say this song made her think of me. She was 19 and I just didn’t take her that seriously. I pushed her away and let her go. I’m happily married and 31 now. Still, I wonder what happened to her.
Yes u should find ber
Don't live with regret brother, I'm sure she's happy now! Life goes on my dude
I've only pushed people away and have never been in a relationship with a girl but that's only because of my mismanagement of time, and the fact that I always have to be home at a certain time or else I'd have to call my Mom. And, I honestly get it. When you have a child with special needs, you need to keep them as safe as possible whether their disability is high-functioning or not. I'm not a Father, but even *I* can understand that.
Hell, I've even had girls that I had always thought as special to my heart. But again, due to all the aforementioned reasons, I'm stuck looking at them live the rest of their lives on online Social Media websites. And here I am, still living with my Mom, writing a Novel Series about my favorite video game franchise, and debating with dumb Conservatives online. At least I record at a rap Studio for free and am currently going through a Skills Training Workshop for Employabilities...? 🤷🏼♂️
I found it by listening to an owl city radio station
HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's literally the only radio station that I want to listen to.
I'm guessing they mean on a streaming service
The midsummer one?
This makes me depressed, because all I can think about is when I first heard this. But that was nearly 10 years ago and I really miss those days.
same my guy
Holy fuck same
Same
Really love that people in youtube comments are looking out for people they dont even know. Way to go guys! Makes me feel that there is hope in this world
i never knew this song resonated with so many people in the same way it resonates within me. i found this song in my middle school years when i also found my first love, and we seperated a month ago after 3 years. i truly miss everything this song holds dear to me
The night was so ooooooold
I'm sorry, only the original for this fanboy
William Taylor This version is much better. It's so much sicker that he's looking at the stars that arn't there anymore instead of the planes.
@TomOfDaHook17 I can't tell if you're trolling...
William Taylor I'm not lol I like this version a lot better.
@TomOfDaHook17 oh okay, that's fine.
Who's the female singer in this song?
I think it's Breanne Duren
Breanne Duren
Breanne Duran lul
Breanne Duren, voice of an angel
@Jack Bingham Makes me think of Luna Lovegood
