You see the kitchen from the table, I see it from the sink

We watch the same show every night but laugh at different scenes

You fold the towels into squares, I roll them into tubes

We share a bed for seven years but dream in different rooms

Close one eye, the world shifts half an inch

Close the other — nothing's where you left it

Parallax dream, parallax dream

Nothing lines up but it's still the same scene

Parallax dream, parallax dream

Same star seen from different machines

You keep the receipts, I keep the fortune cookie slips

You water plants on Sundays, I forget that they exist

The cat sits right between us like a furry diplomat

Negotiating peace in a republic of two flats

Close one eye, the world shifts half an inch

Close the other — nothing's where you left it

Parallax dream, parallax dream

Nothing lines up but it's still the same scene

Parallax dream, parallax dream

Same star seen from different machines

Astronomers need parallax to measure what is far

The bigger the distance... the closer you are

PARALLAX DREAM, PARALLAX DREAM

Nothing lines up but it's still the same scene

PARALLAX DREAM, PARALLAX DREAM

Same star seen from different machines

Different machines
