Narrative:
Cleared for visual approach to runway 36L at dfw. Kept very fast and high on approach. While configuring for landing (flaps/gear) and completing the landing checklist, I inadvertently lined up with runway 35L. Simultaneously, I saw another airline jet to my right and I immediately banked left to realize I was on the east side of airport. Tower also directed us to fly left and line up with runway 36L on west complex. We lined up and landed on runway 36L.
