Parachute

Awake from a dream One that started as a nightmare Like a war so extreme It erased itself from memory Here's where I jumped From the airplane without questioning it The curve of the coast of Los Angeles Spreading itself below And blooming overhead The parachute I've got to trust it now, ohh-oh Change in the wind And I'm drifting from the crescent Pulled farther out From the shore than where I can swim to it And blooming overhead The parachute I've got to trust it now, ohh-oh Closing in on the sparkle of the waves Go on, take me It will feel like going home Go one, take me I'm not afraid to drown What is this? Pulling me back the other way To strip malls, highways, and treetops Landing on the soft ground
