Parallel Lives Lyrics - Parallel Lives - Gates

We stand beside one another 

Decided to never be close 

We learn the language of lovers 

A stranger to all that we know 

In excess and example 

How novel the one we regard 

Though we long to resemble 

We only become who we are 

Who we are 

We stay entwined with each other 

But couldn't be further apart 

We die denying the flutter 

Of fervor we feel in our hearts 

How uncommon the ember 

Of memory burned and forgot 

Left to always remember 

That we couldn't be what we're not 

What we're not 

And all we seem 

To be 

Are parallel lives caught crossing
