about

During the pandemic when I was facetiming or calling everyone I knew instead of seeing them, I got to have some good one-on-one’s with each of my parents. 
Both of them, independently of each other, in some way kind of ended up apologizing to me about the timing of everything that’s happened in my lifetime. It was said as a joke at first, but a dark one and a true one that stuck with me. 
The lyrics “Parents swear it looked so good in the 90’s, or so they felt/ It’s all ending and I wish I lived my life like someone else” was a direct result of those deep talks

lyrics

I’m parallel to my path
Wish I could get it back
No it don’t work like that
Oh oh

I live in a parallel universe
God, it feels so much worse
Knowing it could’ve worked
Oh oh

Hey,
wait
I didn’t mean to hesitate
Oh hey,
wait
I didn’t meant to hesitate

I can’t even play our songs
I’d be up all night long
I miss when you’d back me up like
“Oh oh”

I live in a parallel universe
And God, it feels so much worse
I wish that we weren’t cursed
Oh oh

Hey
wait
I didn’t mean to hesitate
Oh hey
wait
I didn’t mean to hesitate

Parents swear
it looked so good in the 90s,
or so they felt

It’s all ending
And I wish I lived my life
like someone else
‘cause oh no,
what have I done?

Fuck
Last year
It’s gone
My fears weren’t wrong
These games
get played
With our lives at stake

Wait
I didn’t mean to hesitate
Oh hey,
wait,
I didn’t mean to hesitate
Oh hey,
wait,
I didn’t mean to hesitate
