In my parallel life I would be a painter Color and light would be all I see In my parallel life I'd live in the mountains And spend all my summers down by the sea In my parallel life I would take up dancing I'd be so graceful out on the floor In my parallel life I'd do all these things and more - for sure 'Cause in my parallel life I can reach for the stars I can be what I want I can be where you are In my parallel life I could pick the phone up I'd make you laugh with my repartee In my parallel life I would have the courage But I just don't know what to say But parallel lines never meet So there I was walking down your street I rang your bell but I ran away In my parallel life I could solve this mystery Like Agatha Christie I'd have a clue In my parallel life I would act exactly like someone who knows what to do
