Parallel Universe
Gypsy & The Cat Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've travelled so far, your eyes wont see
Playing hide and seek the backdrops the stars and the sky
Remember the first time you met me, we were frozen
The voyage of time captured our hearts and set us free

Your so far away
One day I'll find the words to say
Were moving in motion a star is born, its a sign

We can only hope we wont get lost, in a black hole

I wish that you could throw me a light
Together we'll be.
And were floating in space.
It's a parallel universe

And it seems so far away

It's a parallel universe
And we'll meet somewhere half way
