Parallel Lyrics

Stop

Stay just for a little while

This heart is like a carousel

Never seems to settle down

But you could be my right now

Or just live our lives in parallel

Two lies that never intersect

We're out of love and oversexed

We're coming in and out of time

There never is a right time, with you

And I don't know what we're gonna do

So I'll just lie and say I love you, for now

And if that was all that love would take

Then I would melt it down

And dig myself a lake

And force myself to drown

But baby wipe away that tear

What's the point in crying over such a silly thing

I know something about fear

I'm accidentally older but still don't know a goddamn thing

Don't tell me I sound naive

I know all about it but that doesn't fix my problems at all

Wait

I hope I didn't take too long

But I think I'm ready now

Says the man through the mirror

To his boy been gone for years

His life and hair replaced with grey

Pretty soon now he will fade away

Mom and Dad not there to bail him out

His only instincts left are fear and doubt

I must be singing out of tune

Because I'm never getting through to you

You're just nestled by the fire, all alone

And if that was all that life would take

Then I would melt it down

And dig myself a lake

And force myself to drown

But baby wipe away that tear

What's the point in crying over such a silly thing

I know something about fear

I'm accidentally older but still don't know a goddamn thing

Don't tell me how to behave

If that was all it took then I would have no problems at all
