Parallel Lives Lyrics

David Mallett Parallel Lives

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
