The Saltwater Room

中文歌詞

昨夜我睜開眼睛，看見你在昏暗的燈光中

漫步在海灣的岸上

凝視著早已沒有星星的夜空

我感覺到夜色已沉，而你的樣子是那麼的冷淡

我把我的外套圍在手臂上，如同一個性格內向的人

在你恰好注意到我之前就開始劇烈的顫抖

注視著那些圍繞在我四周的隧道

它們延伸到黑暗的地底

四周所有的地鐵發出巨大的聲響

並對我的疲倦說著永別

若果你把耳朵湊近海螺

你可以聽到水底的洞穴中的海浪

如同在一個深海的空間

在一起的時間總是不夠

而你和我的獨處使我從未感覺如此的放鬆

獲取抑或是打破這愛情線索的代價將是什麼

只是時間，只有時間

我們分開的時候你都在想些什麼呢

如果這就是所謂的家，那為何還會感到如此孤獨

所以告訴我親愛的

你希望我們相愛么

只是時間，只有時間

你會相信嗎，那些船員都已離去

這已無法讓我回到陸地

我的島嶼都沉入了深海

我無法放鬆也不能睡的太久

而在那些我們數著船隻燈光的夜晚

我感覺自己似乎還在家中

我也許永遠不會知道麻雀愛雪的理由

我們關掉所有的燈

讓舞廳耀眼起來

所以告訴我親愛的

你希望我們相愛么

在一起的時間總是不夠

而你和我的獨處使我從未感覺如此的放鬆

該如何創造抑或是中斷這愛的暗示

只是時間，只有時間

我們分別的時候你都在想些什麼呢

如果這就是所謂的家，那為何還會感到如此孤獨

所以告訴我親愛的

你希望我們相愛么

一直，一直

在一起的時間總是不夠

而你和我的獨處使我從未感覺如此的放鬆

該如何創造抑或是中斷這愛的暗示

所以告訴我親愛的

你希望我們相愛么

一直，一直

英文歌詞

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

So 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 isn't ever 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?

Only time, only time

Can you believe that the crew has gone?

And they wouldn't let me sign on

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 out all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow

So tell me darling, do you wish we'd fall in love?

Yeah, all the time, all the time

Time together isn't ever 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?

Only time, only time

When we're apart what ever 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 isn't ever quite enough

When we're apart what ever 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, oh, all the time

雙語歌詞

普通版

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light

昨夜睜開雙眼，你躲在昏黃的夜

Walking down by the bay, on the shore,

沿著海灣漫步沙灘

staring up at the planes that aren't there anymore

抬頭望著早已遠去的飛機

I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold

我想是夜晚太漫長止不住悲傷，你看起來如此冷漠

Like an introvert, I drew my over shirt

單衣薄衫

Around my arms and began to shiver violently before

止不住發顫

You happened to look and see the tunnels all around me

不經然地一瞥，望向那隧道包圍著我

Running into the dark underground

一直漫延，向無盡漆黑的地底

All the subways around create a great sound

巨大的聲音響徹隧道

To my motion fatigue: farewell

再見吧我疲憊的心靈

With your ear to a seashell

請傾聽貝殼的聲音

You can hear the waves in underwater caves

你能聽到洞穴裏海浪的呼喚

As if you actually were inside a saltwater room

就像在那海水做成的房間

Time together is just never quite enough

相聚的時間總是短暫

When you and I are alone, I've never felt so at home

當我們彼此分開，就從未有過家一般的感覺

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?

要維繫這愛的線索代價是什麼？

We need time, only time

我們需要時間，僅僅是時間

When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?

If this is what I call home, why does it feel so alone?

如果這就是家，為何我感到那麼孤獨？

So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?

All the time, all the time

就那麼愛下去，相守到永遠

Can you believe that the crew has gone

你能相信嗎，那些人群已遠去

and wouldn't let me sign on?

離開了我的記憶

All my islands have sunk in the deep,

我已沉溺無法自拔

so I can hardly relax or even oversleep

根本無法放鬆甚至睡去

I feel as if I were home some nights

我彷彿又回到了家

when we count all the ship lights

回到我們數著船舶和星點燈光的夜晚

I guess I'll never know why sparrows love the snow

我猜我永遠也不會懂麻雀愛上雪的理由吧

We'll turn off all of the lights and set this ballroom aglow

讓我們關掉所有的燈，讓這個舞廳煥發光彩

So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?

那麼親愛的請你告訴我，你願意和我相愛嗎？

Time together is just never quite enough

在一起時間走得那麼快

When you and I are alone, I’ve never felt so at home

When we’re apart whatever are you thinking of?

不在你身邊你會想些什麼？

What will it take to make or break this hint of love?

我要如何製造這愛的繩索鎖住你我？

So tell me darling, do you wish we’d fall in love?

All the time

直到永遠

I opened my eyes last night and saw you in the low light

Walking down by the bay on the shore

I was feeling the night grow old and you were looking so cold

這首歌分早期版和增強版兩個版本，在歌詞、節拍和演唱風格都有較大不同。早期版收錄於2008年發布的《Maybe I'm Dreaming》專輯中，增強版則是Owl City在2009年發布的成名專輯《Ocean Eyes》中的重製版本。

早期版的是:“I feel as if I were home some nights when we count all the ship lights",

增強版的是：“But I feel warm with your hand in mine when we walk along the shoreline...”；

“Staring up at the stars that planes/stares aren't there anymore”中，增強版的為“stars”，早期版為“planes”。

增強版的是“Time together isn't ever quite enough.”

早期版的是“Time together is just never quite enough .”

早期版的節奏較輕柔，進入副歌之前有一段風鈴聲的演奏，是Owl City剛出道時的青澀小清新風格。

重製版為了配合整張新專輯的曲風，低音和節奏得到加強，並且分別精簡了前奏和第一次副歌部分。

Owl City，原名Adam Young來自美國明尼蘇達州奧瓦通納（ Owatonna, Minnesota）的大學二年級生，於 2007年組建了Owl City樂隊。他就是這支流行電子樂隊的唯一成員，負責主音、合成器和編曲等工作。隨之獨立發行的首張專輯《Of June》，在2007年的夏天，為電音界吹來一股涼爽的清風。

《The Saltwater Room》後半段出現的女聲來自於Breanne Düren，與Adam Young一樣來自於明尼蘇達州，Owl City的《Honey And The Bee》也是Breanne Düren的甜美女聲。聲音像奶油冰激凌一般，細膩動聽。她的聲音清新自成一派，還沒有與任何唱片公司簽約。在Breanne Düren的Myspace中有兩支單曲，均為她演唱。單曲有《Daydream》
