Parallel Streets

[Verse 1] We share the crosswalk, different time, Your eyes are red, but you look fine. A thousand stories in one crowd, All talking low, all thinking loud. [Pre-Chorus] I wave, you fade, Like we’re out of phase. [Chorus] We live on parallel streets, Same sun, but it never meets. Our worlds overlap, then slide apart, A line between each beating heart. [Verse 2] The bus goes by, we both get on, Two ghosts pretending nothing’s wrong. You hum a tune I almost know, It breaks, then drifts — and doesn’t show. [Bridge] Maybe love’s just what we see, Through glass between realities. We touch the air but not the flame, Call it life, but not by name. [Final Chorus] We live on parallel streets, Same rain, but it never meets. And if we ever cross again, Will we notice where we’ve been?
