lyrics

That pesky fence keeps coming apart
One panel rests where it fell in the yard

I'll Leave it where it lay
Leave an opening

Leave that where it lay it's left a window to an odyssey
Where passersby patrol the alley swear they looked like me
I really wish we could meet

Are you gonna keep that pace
Looking dead ahead
I'll run along your side
Chasing Parallel

We'll never meet
Even though our eyes do daily
And though we'll never cross each other's lines

But you will always cross my mind

Boundaries bend to none of my barks
So I tend to question the strength of my high

Well stature's a grand excuse
To pretend you're above abuse

It comes in many forms you know (like big puppy dog eyes)
Like an unblameable and deceptively simple adorable device

Are you gonna trust this face
Looking through the gaps
And if I don't look threatening
Could you even tell

We've never met
Even though we walk and talk on the daily
Thought all this time the barrier was only mine

So I crossed the line

And if the bark is worse
(Will you be silenced?)

And if the bite leaves a mark
(Will you be healing?)

And if the love looks like hurt
Will you align the two forever?

Are you gonna keep your grace(x4)
