Parallel Lives - David Mallett

Conversations hanging in mid-air

Sometimes I look for you and you’re not there

Parallel lives

Parallel lives

Living these parallel lives

We could say hello if the occasion should arise

Let’s not talk of love or any of those other lies

Just last night I dreamed I saw the sunlight in your eyes

And woke up living these parallel lives

Into every life there comes someone

Then you turn around and they’re all gone

Parallel lives, parallel lives

Living these parallel lives

Guess I should be happy just knowing you’re alive

Maybe I’ll make sense of it when I am old and wise

Just last night I dreamed I saw the sunlight in your eyes

And woke up living these parallel lives

Parallel lives

Living these parallel lives

We could say hello if the occasion should arise

Let’s not talk of love or any of those other lies

Just last night I dreamed I saw the sunlight in your eyes

And woke up living these parallel lives
