Parallel Lines

The lights blur through the midnight glass
Steps in the crowd, I let you pass
You look my way, the train doors close
Another chance that no one knows
The same old street, the same old turn
Your face a spark I'll never learn
Two heartbeats in a world so wide
We walk apart, yet side by side
We're parallel lines in the neon glow
Running so close, we'll never know
Every glance feels like something more
But we keep walking through separate doors
Maybe someday our worlds collide
And break these never crossing lines
Passing signs where the shadows bend
Your voice a note in the noise again
A fleeting smile in the station light
Gone in the hum of another night
Every street is a thread we weave
But we don't stop, and we never leave
The space between us is paper-thin
But no one's crossing where we've been
We're parallel lines in the neon glow
Running so close, we'll never know
Every glance feels like something more
But we keep walking through separate doors
Maybe someday our worlds collide
And break these never crossing lines
If I reach out, will you turn my way?
Would it all change, or fade away?
We're on a track we can't rewind
Yet I still hear your voice in mine
We're parallel lines in the neon glow
Running so close, we'll never know
Every glance feels like something more
But we keep walking through separate doors
Maybe someday our worlds collide
And break these never crossing lines
