Our lives might never touch

Our worlds may never cross

Our stories are the same

We find ourselves in different games

We keep on moving parallel

Farther apart than I want to be

We’re parallel

(We're parallel)

Makes me sad to think

Of all the souls I’ll never meet

But distance wasn’t too much for some of us

 

Things I can’t change and places I can’t see

And though I thought that we’d catch up

We keep on running parallel

Our lives just never touch when I think they should

Our worlds just never cross in the way that I wish they would

And though our stories are the same

It’s like we’re playing separate games

And cannot get to where we used to be

These things I can’t change and these places I can’t see

And though I hoped that we’d catch up

We keep on running parallel

(We’re parallel)

And if your hand were in mine, I might be able to pull you across that line

But until then, we stay parallel

We stay parallel, oh-oh

We stay parallel
