I.R.L - Parallels

Power lines all running wild through me

In the light of a digital dream

Couldn’t help how I felt so alone

Till I found your face on my phone

It was midnight, my time

We were wasted and online

It’s how we play modern love

It makes it hard to fuck it up

If you got close to me

Closer than through these screens

Standing eye to eye

Would it be true in real life?

(Would it be true?)

Fell asleep in the light of our blue dream

Felt nice to hear you breathe

In the end, we pressed escape

But I want you to stay

It could mean so much

'Cause nothing compares to the weight of blood

The weight of your human touch

Maybe I’m wrong to believe

But I see myself surrounded by your things

If you got close to me

Closer than through these screens

Standing eye to eye

Would it be true in real life?

Would it be true?

(I could feel your touch, I could feel)

Would it be true in real life?

(I could feel your touch, I could feel)

If you got close to me

Closer than through these screens

Standing eye to eye

Would it be true in real life?

If you got close to me

Closer than through these screens

Standing eye to eye

Would it be true in real life?
