Parallel Lives Lyrics by Gates (NJ)

Parallel Lives

2016

We stand beside one another
Decided to never be close
We learn the language of lovers
A stranger to all that we know

In excess and example
How novel the one we regard
Though we long to resemble
We only become who we are

We stay entwined with each other
But couldn’t be further apart
We die denying the flutter
Of fervor we feel in our hearts

How uncommon the ember
Of memory burned and forgot
Left to always remember
That we couldn't be what we're not

And all we seem to be
Are parallel lives caught crossing
And all we seem to be
Are parallel lives caught crossing
