Parallel Life

There's a parallel life
Buzzing next to mine
It's filled with all that could've been
White tipped roller skates
Baseball, birthday cakes
Sunday nights crowd 'round the table
Bedtimes, bag lunches and a weekend away
If we're able

There's a parallel life
Breaking next to mine
With a mantle full of Grammys
You sleep with the gin
Poolside, heroin
A white baby grand just like Lennon's
I wake you to show you my song
As the sun burns the ocean

There's a parallel life
Branching all the time
In one where we are royals
One we're closet queens
One we're libertines
One where we're pairs of claws
Scuttling 'cross silent seas

Drown all my faith in a slot machine
For something that I can believe in
'Round, 'round it goes but my constant
In chaos is always you
