Parallels

And here we are again, the door is closed behind us. And the long road lies ahead, where do we go from here? it's time to make a change, lets trace the problem to its source. No more riding the waves on a river that's run its course. I stood at the door to a new beginning, two choices before me and I was afraid. Leave the past behind, the long road lies ahead. Bury your pride, say goodbye, leave the past behind. Tied to a fading memory of something lost in time. Afraid to make the change, scared to leave the past behind I stood at the door to a new beginning, the future called and frightened I turned away. Leave the past behind the long road lies ahead. Close your eyes, forget the fear, and leave the past behind. we stand at the door to a new beginning, two choices before us, don't be afraid. Leave the past behind, the long road lies ahead. Close your eyes, forget the fear, and leave the past behind.

Feeling the weight of unseen chains, this routine is growing thin. It is a narrow path that we walk and the walls are closing in. Caving in! Is there room still for us to grow? Within the bounds we've come to know. Beneath the dust of our days hides the key to our emotions and it's been a while since we've been moved without going through the motions. No emotions! Is there time still for us to show feelings we forgot long ago? Living life in still water blinded by what we've become. You get tired of screaming when you're not reaching anyone. I think it's time now for you to know, holding on is easier than letting go. Living life in still water blinded by what we've become. You get tired of screaming when you're not reaching anyone.

I know it's getting late but I feel I need to explain. All the laughter and the lies, can't stay the fear or hide the pain. Somewhere along the way we exchanged our dreams for selfish pride, there was a common goal but somehow that vision has died. Is it so hard to understand the facts that you ignore? We've grown so tired of trying, wasting our time criticizing. And nothing's easy anymore, nothing's easy anymore. Is it too late to understand the writing that's on the walls while we watch time slip through our hands? We're deaf to our own demands when the eleventh hour calls, the eleventh hour calls. And nothing's easy anymore when the eleventh hour calls, the eleventh hour calls. I know it's getting late but I feel I need to explain.

Looking out on a familiar scene, there's no agreement in what we see. Your perception lacks clarify and my perspective is blinding me. Side by side, divided they stand. Parallel lives running parallel with you to the point where our horizons divide. My opinion is just a point of view and your position is the other side. Caught up in our convictions we forget how our senses distort things we see, we can't accept our differences but we can always disagree. Side by side, divided they stand. Parallel lives running parallel with you to the point where our horizons divide. My opinion is just a point of view and your position is the other side. Where I stand is not so far from you, a different opinion is just another point of view. Parallel lives running parallel with you to the point where our horizons divide. My opinion is just a point of view and your position is the other side.

Today was the end of a dream as I watched your shadow disappear, another moment for the memory as we lose another year. Thought I heard you call my name but you only said goodbye. Always somewhere, we only say goodbye. Going nowhere, we only say goodbye. There's never time to say all the things we need to say, when it's too late we can only say goodbye. Tonight I felt your presence again as we shared the sorrow we've always known but I heard the distance in your voice and I knew that I was alone. Tried to tell you my deepest thoughts but I only said goodbye. Always somewhere, we only say goodbye. Going nowhere, we only say goodbye. There's never time to say all the things we need to say, when it's too late we can only say goodbye. Across the miles both of us reaching, we try, but it's so hard to touch when we only say goodbye. Always somewhere, we only say goodbye. Going nowhere, we only say goodbye. There's never time to say all the things we need to say, when it's too late we can only say goodbye.

Through another late night confession Told to a captive audience And you listen with your ear to the door Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall Like open secrets overheard Through the cracks in the wall With calculated candor you play the part Of a trusted confidant Moving closer for a better view Looking for more than eyes can see On the tattered pages Of an open diary If you want to know Just what I see Look at yourself And don't ask me And if you want to know Where we're going Keep your distance And don't follow me Like an old friend with nothing left to say You'll find I'm not who you thought I'd be As you contemplate the silence Waiting for pearls of wisdom to fall From the still uncertain heart That beats behind the wall If you want to know Just what I see Look at yourself And don't ask me And if you want to know Where we're going Keep your distance And don't follow me If you want to know Just what I see Look at yourself And don't ask me And if you want to know Where we're going Keep your distance And don't follow me If you want to know Just what I see Look at yourself And don't follow me

Its so cold in the shadow of distant lights, chilling wind slows our pace and tests our will. Still a voice whispers it will be over soon and there we find the courage to climb the hill. Sometimes I lose sight of where I'm going, fanned by a flame I can't remember. But distant lights still burn bright, and the road goes on forever. Year after year with renewed ambition we scale the walls to find there's nothing there. Still idle hands clutch the empty page with the passion of a desperate prayer. Sometimes I lose sight of where I'm going, fanned by a flame I can't remember. But distant lights still burn bright, and the road goes on forever. And here we are again, the doors close behind us And the road goes on and on and on and on. Sometimes I lose sight of where I'm going, fanned by a flame I can't remember. But distant lights still burn bright, and the road goes on forever. Forever...
