We so close but never touch

Same road but we lost the rush (yeah)

Side by side but never cross

Parallel, that's us (uh)

Parallel, that's us

Parallel, that's us

You had that oversized grey hoodie on

Sleeves covering half your hands

We shared one pair of wired earphones

Listening to the same slow jam

Your name saved with a heart on my screen

Now it is just letters and nothing between

We would skip class and grab cheap fried rice

Said this was our whole damn life

Late bus rides with your head on my arm

Cold window fogging from the warmth

Now we stand at the same train door

Both looking down at the floor

Low piano pressing in my chest (thump)

Heavy kicks moving under the steps

Everything once felt natural

Now every word feels technical

We so close but never touch

Same road but we lost the rush (yeah)

Side by side but never cross

Parallel, that's us (uh)

Parallel, that's us

Parallel, that's us

Your birthday came and I typed a text

Deleted it twice and left it unsent

Saw you last month at the grocery store

Both froze up near the cereal shelf

You wore that navy jacket I bought

Acted casual like nothing was wrong

Small talk lasted less than a minute

Felt like years inside of it

No big fight and no loud goodbye

Just distance growing little by little

Sub lows rolling steady below (yeah)

Still hurts more than it should

We are not enemies at all

Just two lines that never fold

Close enough to see your face

Too far to let it show

Yeah... still close

Never cross

We so close but never touch

Same road but we lost the rush

Side by side but never cross

Parallel, that's us (ah)

Parallel, that's us

Parallel, that's us
