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.

So, like an introvert, I drew my over-shirt, Around my arms and began to shiver violently before

Running into the dark underground. All the subways around create a great sound.

You can hear the waves in underwater caves, As if you actually were inside a saltwater room.
 
[Chorus]
 
G                   Em7
Time together isn't ever quite enough.
A7sus4                   Cadd9
When you and I are alone I've never felt so at home.
G                            Em7
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
A7sus4     Cadd9
Only time, only time.

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.
 
[Transition]
 
 PM-G                      PM-Em7
(So tell me darling do you wish we'd fall in love?)
 PM-A7sus4          PM-Cadd9
(Yeah all the time)(All the time)
 
[Chorus]
 
G                   Em7
Time together isn't ever quite enough.
A7sus4                   Cadd9
When you and I are alone I've never felt so at home.
G                            Em7
What will it take to make or break this hint of love?
A7sus4     Cadd9
Only time, only time.
G                         Em7
When we're apart whatever are you thinking of?
A7sus4                 Cadd9
If this is what I call home why does it feel so alone?
G                          Em7
So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?
A7sus4        Cadd9
All the time, all the time
