We share the same shadows
Though we never have met
Watching love pass our windows
But that's not what we get

Someone almost looked in
So I pulled down the shades
I wonder what might have been
But the thought quickly fades

There was a look in your eyes
Erased by a whisper of fear
We'll never know if it lies
Pretending we cannot hear

Living parallel lives
Close in so many ways
Because we want without drive
We are so far away

Right under our noses
On the very same street
Right under our noses
Is a nice place to meet
