I invited each person I knew
I hung up lightning bolt balloons
I spent a hundred bucks on booze
Just so you would know I was cool
At nine you walked into the door
Took off your shoes and said "hello"
Then spent the whole night on your phone
Oh, who could you be talking to?
And there's a lot of things that could be said here
But I think they can wait 'til we are dead, dear
'Cause we are parallel lines
We sang duets at the local bar
Pretended we were Broadway stars
I always sang the lover's part
What else am I supposed to do?
If this were 1894
I'd ask for you to sit and pose
I'd paint the afternoon in rose
And still I'd never capture you
And there's a lot of things that could be said here
But I think they can wait 'til we are dead, dear
'Cause we are parallel lines
