Parachutes

One day I'll tell you all the reasons that I cry
And you will gasp and wonder how did I get by
There is something that I pull from deep inside
Though I can't say the reasons for all my tears
The light you brought into my dark abated fear
And I knew that the next morning would be near

And we, we are the roots
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes
And we can only grow up
But they all fall down and they all fall to the ground
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes

Please do not misinterpret my incapacity
Silence does not reflect my slow insanity
But I know that you can feel me, do you feel me?
We're slowly getting stronger day-by-day
By nourishment from the sun that keeps the woe away
When the rain comes, to the sky you'll show the way

And we, we are the roots
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes
And we can only grow up
But they all fall down and they all fall to the ground
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes

Without the ground I'd have no-where to land
Without the lines I wouldn't know which way to turn
Without the canopy gravity brings me to the ground
I tumble down, down, down
Without the ground I'd have no-where to land
Without the lines I wouldn't know which way to turn
Without the canopy gravity brings me to the ground
I tumble down, down, down

They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes

And we, we are the roots
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes
And we can only grow up
But they all fall down and they all fall to the ground
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes
They're the parachutes, they're the parachutes
