Parallel Lines
Lyrics by KZBPascual
Finished 19 March, 2011
Stanza 1
I was driving back to my house when I saw you on the street
Helping a little boy who tumbled get back on his feet.
And that was my very first memory of you.
Two weeks later, I was writing a song in a café
When you entered with your friends, eyeing some pretty girl.
You said that she was not the type you’d go for.
I wonder why, she seemed to be perfect after all.
Then you saw me looking at you and you gave me half a smile.
After that, you looked away and I left.
Chorus
In life you’d meet people who would play a role in your life
While the others would just pass you by
But what if one of them is the person you’re looking for?
How big is the chance that you’d ever cross paths again?
Or will you two be just like parallel lines?
Parallel lines—those that would never intersect
But would approach infinity in the same direction.
Going side by side each other, unknowingly, together.
Stanza 2
Now I’m in the very same café, exactly a year from that day
Just wishing that maybe, I’ll see you here again.
I wonder if you ever thought of the idea I had a year ago.
That was until the manager asked me,
“Do you happen to know a man who’s about your age
Visiting this café every single day since last year?
I think he was looking for the owner of this engraved pen.
Looks like he already gave up on waiting and just left it there on your table.”
“Sir, I know whose pen that is”, I say.
Chorus
In life you’d meet people who would play a role in your life
While the others would just pass you by
But what if one of them is the person you’re looking for?
How big is the chance that you’d ever cross paths again?
Or will you two be just like parallel lines?
Parallel lines—those that would never intersect
But would approach infinity in the same direction.
Going side by side each other, unknowingly, together.
