Parallel Lines

Every night I sleep so good
Then I wake before I should
Every rhyme might not be understood
So I close my eyes and I dream of you

On our first talk we walked a country mile
The old ways seemed they were still in style
I hadn't seen you crying in quite a while
I do all these things just to see you smile

Every night, the street light,
Shines through the window blinds
But I can't read your mind,
Through these parallel lines

I thought in your sleep that you mentioned him
Trying to hear with my conscience dim
Waking up slowly to who I've been
Never reaching the end of what I begin

Every night, the street light,
Shines through the window blinds
But I can't read your mind,
Through these parallel lines

I've taken time to clear my mind
I'm chasing lines almost

Every night I watch you dreaming
Tossing and turning, the street light's beaming
I'm going crazy trying to read your mind

Every night I watch you dreaming
The street light's beaming
Shines through the window blinds,
But I can't read your mind,
Through these parallel lines
