[Verse 1]
You miss your bus on Monday
Spill coffee on your sleeve
Curse at the sky
Then laugh
Tiny choices
Tiny griefs
Somewhere you caught that same train
You didn’t stain your shirt
You met a stranger
Shared a seat
Who never saw you hurt
[Chorus]
Parallel worlds
Running side by side
Same blue sky
Different tide
I’m almost touching who I could have been
Through a glass so paper-thin
Parallel worlds
Echo in my head
Same old words
Different said
If I had turned left instead of right
Would you be mine in another life?
[Verse 2]
I walk past our old corner
Where we first almost met
You held the door two seconds late
I lit a cigarette
But somewhere we both lingered
You asked me for my name
We joked about the weather first
Then nothing felt the same
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I see us at that tiny bar
Your hand around a drink
Another you just walks me home
Another me won’t blink
[whispered vocals] Every path
A phantom street
Every choice
Another beat
[growing harmony] Are we happy
Are we broken
In the lives we never opened?
[Chorus]
