Parallel

Lyrics

Going ten over the limit when I didn't have a place to be I was dreaming 'bout the future, but the present got away from me I only focused on a measure, and I didn't hear the whole symphony I didn't hear the beauty Called my mother, couldn't help her on a crossword question She's a wordsmith, it's a daily obsession I wonder if she sees in me her own reflection Don't wait up for the closure It won't ring the door bell We live and then we die, no other order But we all process each moment in parallel On the water with dad, hoping we might get a couple bites But there's a rain coming in, all we're catching is tangled lines We'll laugh it off, sing a song, and try another time Don't wait up for the closure It won't ring the door bell We live and then we die, no other order But we all process each moment in parallel I don't deserve this So many blessings on my plate I gotta keep the most important thing straight Big brother's on, gonna log in and play a few Hundreds of miles away, and we're right back in the groove He's a constant even when I don't know what to do
