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 are 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

And 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

And 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 at 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

And 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...



Just following the rules... no one's a fool

Just following the rules... no one's a fool

Just following the rules... no one's a fool

No one's a fool...
