Parachute

A lonely man leaps from a mountain town/i stop him as he's half way down/ask him what he's learned about the trip/he shyly smiles and moves his lip/a great day for a car crash/a pleasant day to make a change/the only thing left to do/is pull on my parachute/it will take longer to land/but i can stand/and if i can count on you/to pull on your parachute/we will share time in the air/while we descend/someone take away his gravity/he doesn't see he's plummeting/gaining speed and twisting silently/he's sure to hit a street of trees/a great day for the cancer/a pleasant day to play it safe/the only thing left to do/is pull on my parachute/it will take longer to land/but i can stand/and if i can count on you/to pull on your parachute/we will share time in the air/while we descend/he's not an arrow/but he knows the rest of us know/that he'll fly and he'll try/and when he comes crashing/the answers will flash in our face/the only thing left to do/is pull on my parachute/it will take longer to land/but i can stand/and if i can count on you/to pull on your parachute/we will share time in the air/i just care that you're aware/but they'll have to meet us there.
