Parallel Lines - Todd Rundgren

Kindred spirits moving along the spiral

I can see you up on another level

Its too great a fall

And I cant reach you to pull me higher

But I dont seem to get much closer or any more far

What would you tell me, if I could hear you speaking?

If you could touch me, how would I know the feeling?

I just cant imagine

But I try to do it anyway

I wish I was moving faster, I wish youd drift back

But it just wasnt meant to happen

Very soon Ill have to Face the fact

Some things never come together

Parallel lines running on forever

And you cant turn back

There is never any starting over

Parallel lines never do cross over

Its a challenge

Gotta make myself remember

Facing the truth, well, that doesnt mean surrender

What is bravado and how much is a force of will?

I know that the world is full of opposites that attract

But unless we ignore the physics

Very soon well have to So I send you the gift of empathy

If youd once in your life acknowledge me I have visualized so thoroughly

That when I think of me I think of we Cant face the truth

It means that we must surrender

Understanding wont satisfy the hunger

It whittles away at the destiny we fulfill

And like an animal running wild

You cant call it back

And its just gonna make it harder

When its finally time to Its like a train thats stuck running on a track

Parallel lines running on, running on, running on
