[Verse 1]
You see the kitchen from the table, I see it from the sink
We watch the same show every night but laugh at different scenes
You fold the towels into squares, I roll them into tubes
We share a bed for seven years but dream in different rooms
[Pre-Chorus]
Close one eye, the world shifts half an inch
Close the other — nothing's where you left it
[Chorus]
Parallax dream, parallax dream
Nothing lines up but it's still the same scene
Parallax dream, parallax dream
Same star seen from different machines
[Verse 2]
You keep the receipts, I keep the fortune cookie slips
You water plants on Sundays, I forget that they exist
The cat sits right between us like a furry diplomat
Negotiating peace in a republic of two flats
[Pre-Chorus]
Close one eye, the world shifts half an inch
Close the other — nothing's where you left it
[Chorus]
Parallax dream, parallax dream
Nothing lines up but it's still the same scene
Parallax dream, parallax dream
Same star seen from different machines
[Bridge]
Astronomers need parallax to measure what is far
The bigger the distance... the closer you are
[Final Chorus]
Parallax dream, parallax dream
Nothing lines up but it's still the same scene
Parallax dream, parallax dream
Same star seen from different machines
[Outro]
Different machines...
