Destiny Rules

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
No one's a fool
