Parallel

I think I need a new perspective
Cuz the things I once protected
Do not serve me anymore
But in my heart I have found something
That is keeping me from running
In a straight line out the door

If you and I ran parallel
You know that I’d be right there with you
If you and I ran parallel
I guess we would be running forever

I think I need a new beginning
Cuz the villains keep on winning
In the movie of my life
But in my heart, I know there’s something
That is keeping me from running
Down the clearest path in sight

If you and I ran parallel
You know that I’d be right there with you
If you and I ran parallel
I guess we would be running forever

If you and I ran parallel
Then you and I’d know how to tell
Loud guitars from ringing bells
Promises from wishing wells

Cuz you and I
Could conquer their hatred and
You and I
Can overcome their dissidence
But you and I
Do not see eye to eye so I
Now walk in my own line, but

If you and I ran parallel
You know that I’d be right there with you
If you and I ran parallel
I guess we would be running forever
