There was a steepness in the darkness
I wanted to cut it like a comet crash
Hit the city, where you had echoed from a flash
Made it all seem not so bad

'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I
Don't dare repeat this
But when I lay alone that night
I let the city see me cry

And in my weakness, I wish you hadn't closed your eyes
Crossed the city, opened mine
'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I

'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time
But even in the divide, you and I

You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I

I watched you comb your hands through the light
Every detail spilled from your outline
All at once you filled my eyes
I could see it all for the first time

'Cause we were parallel lines running through the whole sky
And even in the low light, we were aligned
'Cause we were parallel lines, separate the whole time

But even in the divide, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You and I, you and I
You
