There is a parallel life to the one I live now.
Songs take me back to my childhood and now i strive to go back to those hazy memories.
Lonestar lake, Austin City Limits, beer and pizza.
God i miss those days.
So now i'm trying to find that feeling in everyday life.
Nanci Griffiths takes me back to those summer evenings,
Tracy Chapman, Paul Simon, Mary Chapin Carpenter.
I can feel it in an old train whistle, or a frosty January night.
So now i look for someone who will go with me on this journey back to the past of a different life.
I get glimpses every once and a while.
Melancholy and wistfulness fill my body and I am transported to a parallel time, one that I cannot reach now
No matter how hard I try to get back to those days,
Or replicate them now.
