Owl City -- The Saltwater Room

If you're looking for a nice song on the drive home, this song would be it -- especially in the summer time, with the windows rolled down and a cool breeze coming in. This song is actually one of my recent personal favorites, even though I ignored it the first time I heard it.

Owl City is an electronica/pop band founded in 2007 by one person, Adam Young. So if you're into the indie scene, you'll probably enjoy this, too. Even if you haven't heard of Owl City or aren't familiar with indie music, this is a good listen. Unfortunately, I couldn't find an official music video for this song -- there probably isn't one.

Either way, give it a listen [expand the post]!

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
