Chris Cunningham & John Hermanson
Our place is outside the house, where house rules won't be broken
I set aside a piece of my soul
The ring around the moon at night will be my only token
I'll place it on your finger when you go
We lead parallel lives
Never to part and never to touch
We lead parallel lives
And I love you very much
Separated by a gap in time I remember our first kiss
That's not the only thing that I miss
Every wink, every unsaid word, every song we listened to
I'm blessed with the memory of you
We lead parallel lives
With respect in our resistance
We lead parallel lives
And we're one in our distance
As we are, we're worlds apart but I can still command your eye
I can make you smile, twitch or blush
And the other night the lunar light it spread across the sky
It wasn't the white wine that gave the rush
We lead parallel lives
Like an arrow straight and true
We lead parallel lives
That of me and that of you
I'll be sure to let you know when I'm coming back to town
You say that when i'm home, you'd like to see me
You might get a letter or two, but you'll never find me at your door
I hear the air in Georgia's kind of sticky
So we'll lead parallel lives
That will never come together
We'll lead parallel lives
And perhaps it's for the better
We'll lead parallel lives
