Parallel Life - Skittish

There’s a parallel life

Buzzing next to mine

Filled with all that could of 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

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 paralll life

Branching all the time

On 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
