Parallel

Parallel across the street lights

Damp air clings to the night

He’s there waiting for someone new

Tell-tale signs in your eyes

No notice or need to lie

Looks like I was waiting for you too

Pick yourself up

But not apart, boy

I know it’s not easy to do

Dare to show me your heart

But give me a head start

Spell of light is breaking through

Don’t stray from the daylight

The rays won’t burn your pale hide

There's nobody watching out for you

Pick yourself up

But not apart, boy

I know, it’s not easy to do

Tear yourself down

But leave me out, boy

I know it’s not easy to do
