How much time are we going to waste
In meeting, in recognizing each other?1
And in your parallel life, I want
You to want me in the morning light
How can I know if what you saw in me
Isn't the very thing that made you go away?
And in my parallel life
I want to convince you that we what we had worked
My walls boxed in all the
Questions about the two2
And at the end of it all I've got what I want
And you're only part of what I am
How do I know if what you feel
Is the same when you're no longer here?
And in your parallel life, there is
The promise that you'll come back
My walls boxed in all the
Questions about the two
And in the end of it all I've got what I want
And you're only part of what I am
Part of what I am
(Parallel, to-to-toa...)3
How many parallel lives
Do you want to live before you lose?
(Parallel, to-to-toa...)
1. 'Reconocer' could also imply an open-ended 'recognize', as in, "When will we recognize [something that went wrong, something we haven't realized yet]?" Or it could imply meeting someone again.2. 'Los dos' is kind of vague here; she might be saying "All these questions about the two of us", but she doesn't use a personal pronoun. Interpret as you want to.3. 'To-to-toa' is just a noise, like an onomatopoeia. It kind of sounds like 'toda', though, which would give the meaning 'parallel, all of it'.
