Parallel Lyrics

Well I tried my hardest

And I put on my best shoes

And walked right away from you

'Cause I can't stand

To look in your eyes

And see myself staring right back at me

'Cause no one knows the shit

That I've gone through

To get to where I am right now

Yeah where I am right now

And I know you feel the same

So call out my name

Call out my name

Well I drove a thousand miles

Just to make my way back here

And I've got nothing to show for it

I passed the bigots

And the boys who claim they're men

But they don't even know the half of it

'Cause they don't know the shit

That we've been through

Hell and back again

We lived to tell the tale

Of all our innocence left standing in the shadows

When we leave our skins

And I know they feel the same

So call out my name

We know we are all the same

So let's make a name for ourselves

Lay down our guard

Bypass comfort

Bold and vulnerable

Like our own prophet

We know we are all the same

So let's make a name for ourselves

You know you are just the same

So call out my name
