Lyrics

Parachutes

[Verse 1]

Why deny all the troubles

When combined with the missing links

It don't feel like home now

That you're gone, all the trouble suddenly explained

Infinitum, you're always wishing and never here at home, you

[Pre-Chorus 1]

All the dreams we shared and lights we turned on

But the house is gettin' dark

And I don't wanna know your past

But together, share the dawn

[Chorus 1]

And I won't need

Nothing else 'cause when we're dead, we would have had it all

And died, I would've fallen from the sky to you

Parachutes have opened now

[Verse 2]

Heaven knows if there's a ceiling

Come so low with the kneeling

Please know that I got

All the friends I'm needin'

Before my light goes out

[Pre-Chorus 2]

As the doors are closin' now

And far away will be my home

And to grasp this, I don't know

[Chorus 2]

But I don't need

Further back and forth, a wave will break on me today

And love? Wish the world could go again with love

One can't seem to have enough

And war? Break the sky and tell me what it's for

I'll travel there on my own

And love?

What a different life had I not found this love with you
