I think the first verse where he says "Well I got the call as soon as the day hit night..." is referring to a car accident, hence the "parallel lines" and "waiting for a friend to call and say they're still alive".

My Interpretation

I thought of a car accident too, "I remember the first time we wished upon parallel lines, waiting for a friend to call and say they're still alive" sound like leaving a gathering drunk, praying you can stay in between the lines then waiting for a call or text saying that your friends or loved ones made it home safe.
