Timekeeper'S Secret

Maybe I'm living in New York, taking the subway
Drinks with the girls down in Brooklyn on Friday
Work at a bookstore, falling for fictional men
Or maybe I'm in Oklahoma - married, we own a
Blue Chevy pickup, drink Coca-Cola
Wear overalls while we're painting the walls in our house

Or maybe I'm in Scotland, all alone on Isle of Skye
Writing poems underneath the Northern Lights

What if there's someone out there that's just like me?
A parallel timeline that I'm unable to see?
She's already doing all the things I dream that I could be, but we'll never meet
That's the Timekeeper's Secret

Maybe I'm living in Florence, frequent a café
Teach history at Academy D'Arte
Raising a girl who can name every piece by Van Gogh
Or maybe I'm a ballerina at the Paris Opera
Dance every night and still waiting to meet the
Love of my life, maybe he's in the audience tonight

What if there's someone out there that's just like me?
A parallel timeline that I'm unable to see?
She's already doing all the things I dream that I could be, but we'll never meet
That's the Timekeeper's Secret

Keeping track of the time
Every multiverse line
Trickling like the streams from a singular vine
Like a river that flows
Like a tree as it grows
Like a million threads intertwined, I suppose
That there's no way to tell
It's a bottomless well
It just keeps going, no matter how hard you dwell
And if they change?
Do I change?
Do I get to write the words on my page?

What if there's someone out there that's just like me?
A parallel timeline that I'm unable to see?
Infinite versions of myself, colliding quietly, but they'll never meet
They'll forever be
The Timekeeper's Secret
