Song Lyrics

My ring kept him on, been learnin' fast
I just got you wrong, it's not built to last, it's not built to last
Time keeps on trippin' on, though I learn my lessons fast
And it was time for me to cut and run
And if I ever do the past, you're not the only one, we're living

Parallel lives, ooh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to lose it
To the passin' of time, ooh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied

We live separate lives, can't even organize
One more meeting of minds ain't gonna make it right, no
There's more humanity in just letting it be, now
'Cause I can't seem to justify when we're livin' separate dreams
Have we forgotten love, we're lost in

Parallel lives, ooh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to lose it
To the passin' of time, ooh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied

Parallel lives, ooh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to lose it
To the passin' of time, ooh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied

Are we chose to give it
Are we chose to live it, our separate lives?
Got too close to heaven
But are we too driven in a parallel light?
All because we chose to live it

Are we chose to give in our separate lives?
Got too close to heaven
Well, are we too driven in a parallel light?
What were we destined for, to live in

Parallel lives, ooh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to lose it
To the passin' of time, ooh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied

Parallel lives, ooh, you're not the only one
We're so entwined to choose it
To the passin' of time, ooh, we came undone
We came untied, we came untied
