“Parachute” is the fourth track from Stapleton ’s 2015 debut album Traveller.
The song is the ruminations of an estranged lover who realizes that the relationship he lost—and now misses—ended because of things he neglected to say or do. He’s willing to come back if she ever reaches a time of need,...
[Verse 1]
Street lights along the highway
Throwin' shadows in the dark
And the memories keep on turnin'
To the rhythm of a broken heart
[Chorus]
You only need a roof when it's rainin'
You only need a fire when it's cold
You only need a drink when the whiskey
Is the only thing that you have left to hold
Sun comes up and goes back down
And fallin' feels like flyin' 'til you hit the ground
Say the word and I'll be there for you
Baby, I will be your parachute
Parachute
[Verse 2]
There's a song that I remember
I never learned to play
And a lifetime of forgotten words
I never got to say
[Chorus]
You only need a roof when it's rainin'
You only need a fire when it’s cold
You only need a drink when the whiskey
Is the only thing that you have left to hold
Sun comes up and goes back down
And fallin' feels like flyin' 'til you hit the ground
Say the word and I’ll be there for you
Baby, I will be your parachute
Parachute
[Bridge]
If you think you're goin' down
Just know I will be around
[Chorus]
You only need a roof when it's rainin'
You only need a fire when it's cold
You only need a drink when the whiskey
Is the only thing that you have left to hold
Sun comes up and goes back down
And fallin' feels like flyin' 'til you hit the ground
Say the word and I'll be there for you
Baby, I will be your
Baby, I will be your parachute

I had a dream and woke up with the lyrics “you only need a roof when it’s raining…” rolling around in my head. Didn’t really know what they meant. I liked the sound of it though. When I got together with my friend Jim Beavers that day, I walked in the room he was playing music that was clearly meant...
