Parallel Lines Lyrics

Lyric discussion by juniorboy 

Cover art for Parallel Lines lyrics by Junior Boys

If you found the words, would you really say them? Or stutter through the verse, With mumble punctuation Remembering the line, an empty metaphor That you savour by yourself You're an epicure If I forgot the lines, is it easy enough to fake it? Or do you need a moment to rememorize And model it like a curse half disguised?

Leers, cheers, whispers and the tears That final taste before you're taken away Odds, ends, final amends It's all right to say it Just as long as you don't really think so

Give me a little room To get on with concentration Just enough to know What I'm missing in education Borrowing all the hours that you gave to me to It's a wonder I could ever breathe Under all our thoughts We'll hear the final answer Of all the things you are that have been paralleled All the voices that were raised and finally fell

Leers, cheers, whispers and the tears That final taste before you're taken away Odds, ends, final amends It's all right to say it Just as long as you don't really think so

No lights No show No sex That's all you get No waits No calls No remittance for what you know

Leers, cheers, whispers and the tears That final taste before you're taken away Odds, ends, final amends It's all right to say it Just as long as you don't really think so

Lyric Correction

"We'll hear the final answer" => "We'll hear the final whisper" Maybe it's "no sets" and not "no sex" :/
