Maybe we were together
In another life
Maybe we are together
In a parallel universe
Maybe our paths are not supposed
To cross twice
Maybe your arms not supposed
To go around me

I hear about you now and then
I wonder where you are and how you feel
Sometimes I walk by
And I look up to your balcony
Just to make sure that you were real
Just to make sure that I can still feel you

When I see you again
As I always do
It appears to me that
Destiny rules
That the spirits are ruthless with the
Paths they choose
It's not being together, it's just
Following the rules
No one's a fool

Six weeks in a foreign country
How the time flew
I didn't speak the language
But somehow I knew
That that would be the only time
That we could be alone and foolish
We said we'd never come home

When I see you again
As I always do
It appears to me that
Destiny rules
That the spirits are ruthless with the
Paths they choose
It's not being together, it's just
Following the rules
No one's a fool

I like the coastal cities
I like the lights
I like the way the city blends
Into the ocean and the night
It's like living on a working river
The coastline is glittering
Like a diamond snake
In a black sky

When I see you again
As I always do
It appears to me that
Destiny rules
That the spirits are ruthless with the
Paths they choose
It's not being together, it's just
Following the rules
No one's a fool

We're just following the rules
No one's a fool
We're just following the rules
No one's a fool
We're just following the rules
No one's a fool
No one's a fool
