about

This song, the title track, is about two people in love, whose worlds are respectively similar ('parallel'), who have to say goodbye for one reason or another because it could never work.

There is a hidden track starting at around the 6:35 mark, which is an a cappella song written by me, called "When Will It End."

lyrics

"When Will It End" lyrics:

“When Will It End”
t.s.s.
5.10.10

I get lonely in that I feel like I'm alone
In feeling what I'm feeling
I just don't understand, explain this to me please
Why something so unbroken still needs healing

So I said 'when will it end?'
You looked at me and said it never does
So I said 'why isn't it easy anymore?'
You said it never was

My heart is there inside a box
Wrapped in insulation and some socks
So it doesn't break while being shipped
I could have sworn I had this down
But when I'm wrong, I want you around
To make me feel much better and less like shit

I used to be so goddamn easygoing
In that I didn't care what was happening around
I was stupid but having fun, now I jump to work at sound of the gun
Tell me why should it be any different now?

So I said 'when will it end?'
You looked at me and said it never does
So I said 'why am I no longer happy?'
You said I never was

You tell me there's a difference
But there's a difference in what?
I find it hard to make decisions
Without any ifs, ands, or buts
You said it's up to me, but I don't comprehend
So tell me, please, when will it end?
