Synchronicity

a song without music for somebody I don't follow

I don't want to see when you're seeing what I'm looking at.
I don't want to glance up and learn that you are looking back.
I don't want to know when you know that I am listening.
I can't even tell you just how much confusion it would bring.

It's not that I want you gone;
I want your words every minute.
It's not that life can't go on
even if you don't go with it.
It's not even that I know somewhere you may be thinking of me, but
I know I never want to know if you can't ever...

When I see you there, when I know that you are up with me
I can't even breathe, I can't stop this thing inside of me.
I don't even know what is happening inside my head.
Maybe if I could I could make sense of this idiot dread.

It's not that I want you gone;
I want your words every minute.
It's not that life can't go on
even if you don't go with it.
It's not even that I know somewhere you may be thinking of me, but
it's just that I never want to know if you can't ever...

Maybe we can stay in step, stay together, out of time.
Stay in step. Out of time.
Maybe we can walk along parallels, our separate lines.
Stay in step. Out of time.
