I opened my eyes last night, and saw you in the lowlight
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*
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, I’ve never felt so alone
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time, all the time
VERSE 2
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
C (it works but idk if it goes with the song)
(Tell me darling do you wish we’d fall in love?)
Am (same as above)
(All the time)
CHORUS*
Time together is just never quite enough
(or continue with )
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, I’ve never felt so alone
So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time, all the time
OUTRO
Time together is just never quite enough

So tell me darling do you wish we’d fall in love?
All the time

*I wrote the 2 choruses differently, because they both sound right. You can try it.
Thanks, and please rate!
