Parallel Lines
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I see you and I know you see me
We go by our eyes never meet
Seems to be an invisible screen
You keep your side of the street
Just another lost face in the crowd
Saying nothing but I'm shoutin' out loud
From my heart wonder why it should be
The lonely lives that we lead
Are you so different to me?
I know you can't possibly be
We're two in a million
But you could be the one
That makes my perception complete
We go by like parallel lines
Living out our separate lives
If only we'd cross the space in between
How beautiful it could be
How beautiful it could be
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
We're all so busy tryin to get ahead
We don't even see the people close to the edge
We're tryin to find a light at the tunnels end
Maybe we should just turn our heads
Are you so different to me?
I know you can't possibly be
We're two in a million
But you could be the one
That makes my perception complete
We go by like parallel lines
Living out our separate lives
If only we'd cross the space in between
How beautiful it could be
How beautiful it could be
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Just imagine if those lines would come together
For a moment in a world where there's no strangers
Make a little effort together
Close up the distance between all these parallel lines
Close up the distance between all these parallel lines
Close up the distance between all these parallel lines
Ohh, mmm, hmm, yeah
Play it for me now, eh, eh, eh, yeah
Dubudda, doo, doo, doo, ohh, yeah, hey, yeah
Dubudda, doo, doo, doo, yeah, hey, yeah, hey
(Parallel lines)
Doo, doo, doo, oh, ahha, ahha
(Parallel lines)
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, ohh, ohh, oh, yeah
(Parallel lines)
How beautiful it could be, parallel lines
(Ohh, oh, yeah, eh, eh, eh, yeah)
How beautiful it could be, parallel lines
(It could be beautiful, yeah, hey)
How beautiful it could be, parallel lines
How beautiful it could be, parallel lines
(Beautiful, oh, it could be beautiful)
Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Parallel lines)
It could be beautiful, beautiful
(Parallel lines)
Beautiful
