Lyrics

Parallels

[Verse 1]

Woke up lost

In a world I didn't know

I shook it off and

I'm trying to make a go

[Pre-Chorus]

Ever get the feeling that the story isn't done?

And you know that you are not the only one?

[Chorus]

And I know you're out there somewhere

And I know that you are well

Looking for an answer

But only time can tell

Parallels

[Verse 2]

All things being equal

I'd rather not forget

The things I've seen

And the people that I've met

[Pre-Chorus]

But something down inside me makes me think there's something more

And I don't have any proof, but I'm sure

[Chorus]

And I know you're out there somewhere

And I know that you are well

Looking for an answer

But only time can tell

Parallels

[Verse 3]

Woke up lost

In a world I can't escape

What I'll become

Is slowly taking shape

[Pre-Chorus]

Start again is not the end but altogether new

And I'm never giving up 'till I find you

[Chorus]

And I know you're out there somewhere

And I know that you are well

Looking for an answer

But only time can tell

Parallels
