Lyrics
[Verse 1]
[almost whispered]
I watched your shadow leave the kitchen
Like smoke escaping through the door
You said nothing when you grabbed your jacket
Guess we’d run out of words before
Now your coffee cup is fading
Lipstick stain and fingerprints
Funny how the smallest things
Can hurt more than all of this
[Pre-Chorus]
[slightly closer vocal, more tension]
And I tried
God, I tried
To hold us steady in my hands
But love slipped through
Like water does
[Chorus]
[still restrained — don’t oversing it]
We were parallel lines
Close enough to almost touch
Moving in the same direction
Never close enough
And I hate how time
Turns people into strangers slow
You were standing right beside me
Still somehow letting go
[Post-Chorus]
[minimal, airy]
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
Parallel
Mm-mm
[Verse]
[add soft harmony underneath second half]
There’s a light outside my window
Blinking like it’s trying to speak
I pretend the city misses you
The way it’s missing sleep
I still leave space in conversations
Like you’re somewhere listening in
But silence answers every question
Before I finish asking it
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe
We were never meant
To carry all this weight alone
Maybe some things break
Without a sound
[Chorus]
[slightly fuller instrumentation]
We were parallel lines
Close enough to almost touch
Moving in the same direction
Never close enough
And I hate how love
Can disappear without a scene
One day you’re somebody’s whole world
Then just a memory
[Bridge]
[instrument drops back almost completely]
Do you still drive past my street?
Do you still wake up at three?
Do you still reach across the bed
And notice missing heat?
Or did you heal already?
Was I harder to forget
Only inside my own head?
[Verse]
[very stripped back — almost no drums]
I heard somebody say your name
And turned around without a thought
Funny how my body remembers
What my mind is trying not to
There’s still a sweater in my hallway
I keep meaning to move away
But some part of me still loves
The way it makes this place feel changed
[Final Chorus]
[this is where the flicker of hope enters — subtle, not triumphant]
Maybe parallel lines
Meet somewhere we cannot see
Maybe all the distance between us
Isn’t what it seemed
And if your name
Finds its way back into mine
I hope you know I loved you
At the same time
[Outro]
[soft, almost spoken]
Close enough
To almost touch
